Seeking True Love
Stunningly beautiful Callie Conner is sick of being pursued by shallow suitors. She wants a man of faith, honesty and moral integrity who will love and value her for more than her appearance. So she flees to her aunt’s hotel, where she soon finds herself falling for the handsome new stable hand.
A successful businessman in disguise, Ezra Ryder enjoys working in Pinewood where he is accepted for himself, and not for his money. Growing closer to Miss Callie, he longs to proclaim his love. But revealing his true identity would also mean revealing his deceit—can he risk losing Callie’s trust forever?
Ezra offered a sprig of pussy willow to Callie with a bow. “I wish this were a rose.”
“A kind thought, sir. But I prefer the pussy willow.”
When their hands touched, Callie’s fingers trembled and Ezra stepped closer.
“Callie...” Her name was a hoarse whisper, a question.
She stepped back. “Thank you, Ezra.” She turned toward the hotel.
Ezra’s pulse quickened as they approached the steps. He would take her elbow and help her up to the porch, bid her good-night at the door.
But Callie stopped short at the base of the stairs.
“Good evening, Ezra.”
The finality of her tone made her meaning clear—he was to come no farther. She climbed the steps and crossed the porch.
Ezra waited until she was safe inside, then exhaled a long breath. He was accustomed to young women welcoming his slightest attention, not turning their backs on him. Courting Callie Conner could prove to be more costly to his pride than he imagined.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
—Proverbs 22:1
This book is dedicated with love
and deep appreciation to my church family.
To those prayer warriors who faithfully
seek the Lord on behalf of my writing—thank you. I love and appreciate you all.
And, again, to Sam. Thank you is such a
puny expression of my appreciation, but it will
have to do—unless that fertile mind of yours can come up with better words. Blessings, my friend.
“Commit thy works unto the Lord,
and thy thoughts shall be established.”
Your Word is truth. Thank You, Jesus.
To You be the glory.
