      His Brother’s Intended Bride

      David Wainwright is not one to shirk his duty, and helping his late brother’s grieving betrothed is no exception. He’ll offer Elizabeth Martin comfort and support—he’ll even help her find a job. But most important, he’ll continue to hide his true feelings…that he’s always cherished his brother’s almost-bride.

      Elizabeth needs to be strong for the sake of her family. So she accepts David’s friendship and assistance. But she hadn’t realized how much she’d enjoy and value her work at David’s side. Or how much he’d come to mean to her. He’s more than a would-be brother to her—and much more than a friend. Could she be ready to open herself to the risks of love for a second time around?

      “You don’t have to hide the tears from me, Elizabeth.”

      The understanding in his voice stopped her in her tracks.

      “I know what you are feeling. He was my brother, my best friend. I miss him terribly.”

      Pain pierced her heart, but David’s honesty was an invitation. She turned to face him.

      “How do you do it?” she asked.

      He left the ladder and crossed the floor. “Do what?”

      “Get up each morning? Go about your tasks? Your new job? I can barely breathe.”

      A look of compassion filled his face. It appeared as though he were about to embrace her, yet just before doing so, he stopped, rubbed his whiskered chin.

      “I wish I could take away your pain,” David said.

      Upon impulse, she moved into his arms. David held her tightly. Elizabeth knew full well the strength and security he offered was only that of a would-be brother-in-law’s kindness, yet even so, she soon gave in to temptation.

      The same soap… The same shaving balm…

      But the added hint of peppermint brought her back to reality. He is not Jeremiah. He never will be.

      SHANNON FARRINGTON and her husband have been married for over twenty years, have two children and are active members in their local church and community. When she isn’t researching or writing, you can find her visiting national parks and historical sites or at home herding her small flock of chickens through the backyard. She and her family live in Maryland.
