Annabel wants to have a life in a nunnery to escape the advances of the bailiff.  Unfortunately, her family is now in great debt and she has become an indentured servant to Lord Ranulf, which puts her even closer to the bailiff. 

Lord Ranulf is not the man she expects him to be and he begins to give her security and joy.  Her problems with the bailiff and her insecurity puts him in danger and everything rests with her.  Annabel will need to decide between her plans and the plans God has for her.

About the author- Melanie Dickerson lives in Alabama with her husband and two daughters. She has a bachelors degree in special education of the hearing impaired and has been a teacher and missionary. Her novel has been a finalist seven times in Romance Writers of America sponsored contests.

 

My thoughts- I loved this book.  As I read it, it gave me chills and goose bumps.  When I come across something excellent I feel like that, so I knew this book was great.

 

Annabel was a strong Christian woman, but she had weaknesses as many of us do and that was not telling Lord Ranulf everything when it came to Bailiff Tom, because she wasn’t willing to trust enough.  I hope I can always remember to trust those who are to be trusted.

 

I highly recommend this book.
