Oh heavens, is that Josh McClain? What is he doing here? I haven’t seen him since Papa and I left Abbeville soon after my mother’s death. Josh was the best. We’d get into all kinds of trouble back then, mainly because I’d want to save some bird or racoon or something. But Josh never complained. Sometimes, he’d even help me nurse my little creature back to health. He was the kind of friend I could depend on. A shoulder to cry on after our mothers were killed in a terrible carriage accident.
I hadn’t realized until this moment how much I’ve missed him.
But Josh is all grown up now, and wickedly handsome, though I’m not sure why I’d notice that. And he’s a doctor which is a pleasant surprise! Just one more thing we have in common. I wonder if he can still make me laugh. No one could make me laugh like Josh! But why was he here? His father owes the largest cotton mill in the southeast. Surely, he expected Josh to take over the family business.
I could have heard Josh right. Did he say we were engaged? Maybe, he’s concussed. That has to be it. Yet, he keeps saying it’s true. He has to have bumped his head because he’s talking gibberish. He’s adamant. We are engaged. But how can that be? We haven’t seen each other in almost fifteen years.
Of course, Papa and I will have to take him in. Josh is a friend of the family, after all, and maybe, just maybe he’ll tell me why he thinks I’m to marry him.
Engaged to Josh McClain? Impossible!
Or is it?

What a fun character interview! It sounds like a novel that's right up my alley. Blessings to you both.
I've never heard of this author, but this book sounds wonderful! I'm so curious to know the answer to this heroine's questions. Ha!
Anneliese,

Hi Stacy, I had a lot of fun with these characters—I love stories about friends who find love with each other so it was great to write one! Thanks for stopping by!
Anneliese, I’m happy that you came by. This was a fun story to write—Fun fact: I used my mom’s maiden name for my heroine’ s last name. My cousins always reads my books just to see if I’ve used their name!
Good evening, readers;
We have a WINNER and that winner is.... do I hear a faint drum roll?
