Another one for the keeper shelf! Enjoy again this classic romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Janine Hartman loved her grandfather dearly—but she balked at his plan to choose her a husband. Zach Thomas, the intended groom, didn’t like it any better. Zach had recently merged his business with the Hartman family firm, and that was the only Hartman-Thomas merger he wanted. But Grandfather had other ideas, ideas belonging to a different place, a different time, when marriages were arranged by families. “It would be a perfect match,” he insisted. “You two suit each other.” Zach and Janine didn’t agree. In fact, they agreed on only one thing—that Gramps was a stubborn, meddling old man. But…what if he was right? Originally published in 1991

But she's already found Mr. Right… She would rather call her impending nuptials planned than arranged, but she's certain her fiancé is her perfect match. Still, Dr. Meera Malhotra jumps at the opportunity to spend the month before her wedding doing a medical rotation in small-town USA. Getting a taste of independence and improving public health are both part of her plan. Falling for a cowboy? Not so much. Jake Taylor is totally wrong for her, anyway: he raises cattle; she's a vegetarian. He's content with life on the ranch; she's from bustling London and wants to travel. She couldn't possibly throw away everything she's built over something as illogical as love.

Book Description
At the 2003 annual meeting of the American Psychological Society, researchers reported that over 60% of college students who had pledged virginity during their middle or high school years had broken their vow to remain abstinent until marriage. Putting a purity ring on your finger, making a vow to Christ, or making a pledge is not the end, but the beginning. When you make a major decision to follow the ways of Christ, there is a high chance of resistance from your flesh at first. So what do we do once we have made that decision, took the ring, and made the pledge? What happens when: Society says it is impossible and unrealistic? You still struggle with lust? You have already had pre-marital sex? Your decision becomes tough? Condemnation starts setting in from the past? This follow up book goes further into the journey of first and secondary virginity.
