Freedom series book #3. Signed by the author.
From synopsis:
“Twenty-two-year-old Savannah O’Connell, Sheridan, Oregon’s, schoolteacher, is an independent, determined young lady who has never liked to be told what to do. Having recently moved out of her parents’ home and into the little schoolhouse, Savannah believes life is just the way she wants it … that is, until the handsome young minister moves into the parish next door.
When an innocent situation involving Savannah and Matthew turns into the town scandal overnight, Sheridan’s fine teacher and respectable preacher are faced with only two solutions: resign or marry.
They both know marriage would be difficult, to say the least, with Savannah’s stubbornness facing Matthew’s unceasing patience, but resignation from the positions they love and hold dear would be more than they could bear.
Could everything Savannah ever knew she wanted actually be standing right outside her door?”
