Isobella de la Rosa never expected such drama in small-town Mayhill, Nebraska. But she finds it the day fireman Parker Strickland enters her library to return fifteen long-overdue books. Book number sixteen happens to be a private journal-and in verifying its own ownership, Izzy inadvertently reads the first paragraph. I can make it through today, but I'm not sure about tomorrow.

Izzy's heart goes out to the solemn firefighter, a man separated from God and all alone. Izzy never planned to stay long in Mayhill, but what time she has can be spent showing Parker that Someone greater that her walks by his side.

Thus ignites a chain of events that will take Izzy through adventure, intrigue, and maybe even love. But can Izzy accomplish her goals before she leaves Mayhill?
