1 " Then I’m going to pray that God sends a conundrum your way that you must solve and that you can only solve with His help.” Miranda straightened. “That’s not very chivalrous.” His eyes were kind but firm. “I admire the woman I’ve come to know here, and while I can’t promise I’ll ever see her again, I refuse to let her disappear off the face of the earth. You have to keep her alive. "

2 " But Wyatt, the humiliation. Why? Why would God let him do this? It’s a cruel turn when he’s been so good his whole life. Why would God destroy his reputation for wisdom and good sense now?” “I don’t pretend to know God’s purpose, but just look at how dealing with him has made you stronger. Look how you’ve changed. If he hadn’t needed help, you would have never come to Missouri. You would’ve stayed in Boston and lived the life you’d always lived, and I would’ve never met you.” He cupped the back of her head and held her against him. “God is still at work. He hasn’t forgotten you, or your grandpa. "

5 " He searched her face. “Don’t worry about the painting. It’ll take care of itself. But you can’t let this determine your future. You’ll find other quests. You’ll face other challenges. All I’m asking is that you face them like a woman with backbone, not the self-conscious woman who hid behind her grandfather the day she arrived. Making your own path will take courage, and you have that courage. "
6 " The priceless artifacts that passed through her hands amazed her. The beauty, the craftsmanship, the history – she sighed. If only she could spend more time alone with the treasures and less time with the pretentious buyers. "
7 " Wyatt dared a look at her. Jaw set, eyes mistrustful. She didn’t want to be there. He didn’t want her there. Maybe they could work together? "
8 " But something new was coming. God was at work here. His soul told him to prepare. Good or bad, change was ahead. "
9 " He couldn’t deny the hole he was in, but could the uppity young miss who kept his head spinning be the answer he was looking for? "
