As the daughter of an unwed mother, Felicity Percival is accustomed to rejection. Her mother was her only family...until she is summoned to the reading of her father's will. To learn he was a married preacher with a second daughter horrifies her. Having a half-sister she doesn't want appalls her. The stipulations attached to her inheritance infuriate her. The last thing she expects is the emergence of truths that destroy her life-long beliefs. The last thing she wants is to feel the blush of first love for a man she can't have.

His courtship of the minister's legitimate daughter is successful and on track, surviving everything life throws at them...except the appearance of the preacher's other daughter. Felicity asks too many questions, reminds him of his distant past, fights off a pack of petticoated she-wolves, forces him to evaluate his carefully constructed plan, and somehow steals his heart. Rocky desperately needs a stable, solid marriage that will go the distance...so why does he yearn for the wrong sister? [Professionally edited]
