The Shelter of Each Other

He wants to put down roots. She’s desperate to escape. Can they join forces to keep the peace... and find love?

Since Keziah Sirrine’s husband disappeared on a mission trip to the frontier, she’s survived by making herbal remedies and midwifing. Then the Chief Steward of the Congregation sells her house out from under her to fund the group’s move to the wilderness of Iowa and Keziah is forced to go along.

Duncan Ross becomes a member of the Congregation, hoping for a place to call home, to be part of something bigger than himself. He joins forces with Keziah for the health of the Congregation. As respect grows into love, Keziah wonders if she can trust Duncan with her secret: she knows the Chief Steward is a fraud.
