San Francisco could be the key to saving her family. Evergreen might hold the key to her heart. Ruined by her father's scandal, Amy Walker must leave New York City to search for a respectable suitor who will overlook her family drama in exchange for their expansive wealth. When Amy's grandmother is injured on the way to San Francisco, they find themselves stranded in the coastal town of Evergreen, Oregon. But Amy is enchanted with the majestic beauty of the wild northwestern forests, and with the eyes of one specific fisherman. Jonathan Powell likes his life in Evergreen: quiet, simple, alone. He has aspirations, and none of them include marriage. But when Amy's family arrives, her presence opens old wounds and revives memories he wished to leave forgotten. Jon knows better than to trust her, but constantly running into Amy makes her a beautiful distraction, and she starts to break down the protective walls around his heart. When a winter storm blows in and tragedy strikes, both Amy and Jonathan are forced to face their fears, and decide if their love is worth fighting for. Note: This story was previously published under the same title in the Keepers of the Heart multi-author series. It has since been removed from that series and lightly edited to remove any connecting characters, and it also has a new cover, but the story remains the same.
