A Spirit Creek Sweet Romance (no blushing necessary)
When she accepted the position of schoolteacher in Spirit Creek, Ivy Patterson told every citizen who inquired that she was an orphan, hoping no one would ever learn the truth about her family. Now, being courted by the local sheriff has become a problem. Ivy is ashamed of herself for keeping secrets from the man she loves, but fessing up to her lies could mean the end of their relationship. When she recognizes the new stranger in town, Ivy fears her past just caught up with her.
Sheriff Ernest Jones is convinced his beloved Ivy is acting strangely because she is tired of waiting for his proposal. But his law-keeping work has been keeping him so busy, he neglected to ask for her hand. He vows to make her his wife before another man catches her eye. With all the new men arriving in town, he prays he’s not too late already.
Ivy’s past poses a threat that could mean the difference between life and death for so many. If her secrets are revealed, will the lies prove too much for Ernest to accept? Or will their love for each other be strong enough to overcome the deceptions, clearing the way for a future together?
