While Bliss tries to stay focused on her bookkeeping work and protect boundaries, unexpected words and personal choices pull the relationship toward marriage and difficult truths. Blending rural life details, foster family dynamics, and faith-driven reflection, the early chapters set up conflict, attraction, and emotional stakes that steer characters toward healing and purpose.","“Maybe you need a husband.”  \nA what now?  \nThatcher ’s attempt to lighten the mood by making a goofy joke wasn’t funny. He had noway of knowing how unhappy Bliss’s marriage was, though, so she tried to keep her tone light. “If you’re trying to be humorous, stick to knock-knock jokes.”  \n“I’m serious.” Thatcher ’s stare was so intense, he didn’t even blink.“Marriage could solve some of your problems immediately.”  \n“And create a heap more.” She’d already had a husband, and he’d left her with nothing. “I heard about Beatie and Dutch playing matchmaker with Sadie and Mick, but I didn’t expect it from you, too. I’ll make it clear—I’m not interested. Now, I’m going to take this salad out to the dining room and we can forget this conversation ever happened.” She gathered the glass bowl of salad and turned away.  \n“It’s me.”  \nShe stopped. Then turned around to face him.“What did you say?”  \nHe looked her straight in the eye, his cocoa-dark eyes soft.“You could marry me, Bliss.”  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nSusanne Dietze began writing love stories in high school, casting her friends in the starring roles.
