The Christmas Matchmaker's Apprentice
Christmas comes with secrets, promises, and one match that can’t be arranged.
Cora Bawell’s heart has always belonged to her Amish community. When she is asked to help the widowed Mary Brandenberger quietly arrange matches for those too shy to seek love, she embraces the task with joy. What begins as a mission of kindness soon leads her into a tangle of emotions she never expected.
Eli Lapp, a gentle carpenter still grieving the past, is everything Cora believes a godly man should steady, honest and kind. As she helps him prepare a courting gift for another, her heart begins to ache in silence. With each snow-covered morning and every flicker of candlelight at the Christmas gatherings, Cora realises that her heart is no longer her own.
Now, with Christmas fast approaching, she must face an impossible choice. Should she keep her secret and honour her word, or risk everything for the chance to claim the love she has only dared to dream of? In a season of faith, forgiveness and second chances, Cora learns that sometimes Gott’s greatest plan is the one we never saw coming.
