A novel by Piper Huguley
A beautiful woman with secrets comes to Noelle to confront a powerful person with the truth...and only six days left to save the town.Avis Smith is willing to go to Noelle to marry a man she doesnt know in order to avenge a fourteen year wrong--her abandonment to a life of misery and abuse when she was just six years old. In order to get to Noelle, she has to lie about who she is, but her thirst for vengeance is so strong, she transforms herself into the pious, beautiful bride that JD Jones wants. Still, she never expected to be abandoned at the altar. His work as an abolitionist and fighter for justice will not allow storekeeper Liam Fulton to turn his back on the beautiful woman his archenemy is willing to leave at the altar. He figures a way to help Avis out of her predicament, and offers to showcase her in his store so that other potential grooms in Noelle will see her and might want to marry the young woman with the long, elegant neck. When swans mate, they mate for life. When Liam offers to help Avis, he never expects that in working with her to find a resolution to her problem, he discovers a fierce need to protect her. Avis doesnt know that she might find something better than what she was looking for--a new way to a family and bonds of a strong and life-long lasting love.
