Description:
Merrill Krause longs for a family of her own, but she's bound by a
promise to her dying mother to care for her father and older brothers
until they no longer need her. She enjoys being part of the family
business, harvesting ice during the brutal Minnesota winters. Merrill
actively takes part, possessing a keen ability to work with the
horses--despite the advice of her good friend, who disapproves of her
unladylike behavior.
When Rurik Jorgenson arrives in their small town to join his uncle doing carpentry, he soon crosses paths with Merrill. But unlike other men, who are often frightened away by her older brothers, Rurik isn't intimidated by them or by Merrill's strength and lack of femininity. As he thrives under the mentorship of his uncle, Rurik dreams of inheriting the business and claiming Merrill as his wife. But while he is determined to start a new life, the past is determined to follow him when his former fiancee and her brother show up in town. Soon Rurik is put in the center of a major scandal that may damage his relationship with Merrill. Can they learn to trust God--and each other--and embrace the promise of love?
