The Bride Blunder

2009

One name... When Gavin Miller is hired on to set up a gristmill for the prospering town of Buttonwood, Nebraska, he's looking to build more than a business. For the first time, Gavin is in a position to request the hand of the woman he's never forgotten: Miss Marguerite Chandler. Divided between two cousins, When Marge steps down from the stagecoach, Gavin realizes the terrible blunder he's made. While he never forgot Marguerite was the French word for Daisy, he’d failed to recall that the two cousins shared their grandmother’s name, and Marge was the nickname of the wrong Miss Marguerite Chandler! Equals big trouble for three hearts! Marge rejects his offer of marriage when she discovers the truth and goes about setting up a school in town. She's found a place in Buttonwood, but just when Gavin's beginning to think maybe Marge holds a place in his life, a distraught Daisy descends upon the town with a broken heart—and a broken engagement. Can God's will become clear even after The Bride Blunder?
