Sense and Nonsense — Lisa Karon Richardson

Super serious Evangeline Bennett has no time for frivolities like courtship. Besides, she tried it once and doesn't intend to lay her heart open to that sort of pain again. Now she has her sights set on a higher goal. She's going to be a missionary to Ceylon. But when her plans go awry, only James Ferris, the son of the missionary board's chairman, can hope to set things right. Too bad he's the very man she's sworn to never see again.
