Welcome to Love Is In The Air and today's
Excerpt
“I came home to help my sister get well, Sam, and instead all I’m doing is making her worse!”
Emma slammed the knife down flat on the cutting board, so hard that Sam jumped. And then she buried her face in her hands and sobbed.
“Ach, now,” Sam said helplessly, shifting his weight from one boot to the other. “Everything will come right, Emma, sure enough.” He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do, but he couldn’t stand by and do nothing, so he reached out and put one large hand gently on her back.
He’d meant only to comfort her, to reassure her somehow, the way he would soothe a horse, with a touch. But to his astonishment, she turned and buried her face against his chest.
He froze, stunned.
Joseph was right. Something was wrong, because Emma didn’t fall apart like this. That was something he’d always liked about her—that she had more spunk than most other girls. She was soft-hearted, true, but there was a steely strength behind her sweetness. If you pushed her too far, she’d pop back at you, like a string of barbed wire that had been stretched too tight.
In fact, back in their schooldays, he’d goaded her on purpose more than once, just to see her snap at him, her eyes spitting blue sparks. That was a sight to behold.
Now that same girl was crying against his chest—he could feel the warm wet of her tears seeping through his shirt.
“It’s all right,” he repeated desperately.
She shook her head against him, her voice tight with tears and frustration. “Everything has gone wrong, and I want to fix it, but Ich kann naett!”
Oh, ja, he understood that—the desire to help, to make things right—and the frustration when, instead of helping, all you did was muddle things up more. How many times had people looked at him in exasperation? Mind yourself, Sam, they’d say. You don’t know your own strength.
He patted her back awkwardly. “Ich help dich.” He closed his fingers around her forearms, mindful to be gentle, and pulled her a little away so he could look into her face. “I will help you, Emma,” he repeated.
About the book
In this touching Amish romance, a brokenhearted woman and a steadfast man discover that the safest place to weather tragedy is in each other’s arms.
After the murder of both her parents, Emma Hochstedler returns to the small community of Johns Mill, hoping to resume her quiet existence. Reclaiming her place proves harder than expected—especially now that a movie is being made about her family’s loss. But then, an old friend offers her a lifeline that gives her new purpose.
Amish builder Samuel Christner is the biggest—and the strongest—man in town. In fact, the gentle giant has only one weakness—Emma. Even though she broke his heart, he won’t let his childhood sweetheart face her troubles alone. He hires Emma as a nurse for his elderly aunt…and finds himself falling for her all over again.
But while romance blooms, storm clouds gather. And when darkness falls, it will take all Sam’s strength—and all their love—to see them through.
