Emily — Cheryl Wright

Emily Stanton is a spinster with no interest in being courted. She has owned and managed her family's boarding house since her parents died, which gives her no time for herself.

Patrick Harper, a confirmed bachelor, is the new carpenter in town. The last thing on his mind is marriage - even if the local boarding house is run by the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on.

When sparks fly between them, will they fight against them or accept the inevitable?

Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
