Everlasting Melody — Colleen L. Reece

Being the local high school principal was a dream come true for young, vivacious Melody Hale. Wise beyond her years, she had loved throughout the town and had time for every student. But she had no time for Conrad Scott, the attractive, ruthless school superintendent who was courting her.

Melody's heart still belonged to her first love, Bruce Cameron, the dashing forest ranger she had almost married eight years before. Now Bruce was back in town, and Melody could only wonder why he had not come to see her.

She had no way of knowing about the bizarre scheme that was about to wrest happiness from her a second time.
