The Amish Bachelor's Baby. Jo Ann Brown

      

      A baby changes everything

      for the Amish Spinster Club

      Working in Caleb Hartz’s shop fits perfectly with Annie Wagler’s plan to match him with her twin sister—until Annie is drawn to him herself. But with his business, his farm and now his teenage runaway cousin and her baby, Caleb has no time for romance. Can they work together to care for mother and child—without losing their hearts?

      JO ANN BROWN has always loved stories with happily-ever-after endings. A former military officer, she is thrilled to have the chance to write stories about people falling in love. She is also a photographer and travels with her husband of more than thirty years to places where she can snap pictures. They have three children and live in Florida.

      Happiness rushed through Annie when she saw Caleb on the porch steps behind her.

      Stop it! He was meant to be her twin sister’s match and her way to happiness, not Annie’s.

      “Looks like you didn’t get your laundry done earlier in the week.”

      “These are your cousin’s and her boppli’s clothes.”

      “I didn’t mean to dump this extra work on you, Annie. If you’d rather, I can pay you for taking care of my cousin and her boppli and find someone else to work with me at the bakery.”

      “No!”

      His eyes widened at her vehemence.

      She told herself to be cautious or she’d give away her true reason for accepting his job offer. Working with Caleb would be Annie’s best opportunity to gently shove him and her sister toward each other.

      “I want to work with you at the bakery,” she replied as if it were the most important oath she could take.

      And it was, because what she did while in Caleb’s company could mean the difference between healing her sister’s heart or not.

      But what would it do to hers?

      Dear Reader,

      We all have dreams. I have had the dream of being a published author since I was twelve years old. Each time I have another book published, it’s like that dream coming true all over again.

      But we have to balance those dreams with the real world. Both have to be equally important, or our dreams can end up dead and useless. On the other hand, some dreams aren’t meant to come true, as Annie has to learn. Isn’t it splendid that usually when that happens, we find, as both Caleb and Annie do, that God had a plan all along for us that leads us to new and better dreams?

      Wishing you many blessings,
