Above Rubies

She's a schoolteacher with a secret. He's eager to figure her out.

It's 1863, and Olivia Owens believes education should be a top priority in the new settlement of Good Springs. Between planning lessons and helping on her family's homestead, Olivia doesn't have time for Gabriel McIntosh's charming advances. When the council denies her request to build a schoolhouse, Olivia must challenge their ruling while hiding frequent bouts of word blindness (dyslexia).

If the council knew the new teacher couldn't always read, they wouldn't allow Olivia to teach anymore.

As a carpenter, Gabe McIntosh is working hard to help build the settlement of Good Springs, and once his land is granted, he begins constructing his own house. When Olivia discovers he plans to share it with her, she guards her heart from him. But Gabe is determined to win her affection and to discover what she's hiding.

Escape to a hidden frontier settlement in this Christian historical romance, full of suspense, mystery, and faith that heals wounded hearts. If you enjoy the simplicity and wholesomeness of prairie romance and Amish fiction, you'll adore Above Rubies.
