Second-Chance Match
With four children and a dilapidated farmhouse, Amish widow Honor King asks Seven Poplarsâs matchmaker to find her a secure and reliable new husband. Someone the opposite of her first loveâwho left her at the altar nine years ago, yet whom sheâs never been able to forget. Lukeâs back in town, and also looking for a new partner. For him, thereâs only one candidate to be his wifeâthe woman he let get away. But when Honor wonât let him into her life, he works his way into her house. Hammer in hand, heâll fix her home...but itâll take more than brawn and nails to mend her heart.
EMMA MILLER lives quietly in her old farmhouse in rural Delaware. Fortunate enough to be born into a family of strong faith, she grew up on a dairy farm, surrounded by loving parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emma was educated in local schools and once taught in an Amish schoolhouse. When sheâs not caring for her large family, reading and writing are her favorite pastimes.

Her knees went weak.
It happened whenever she looked at him. âIâm sorry Iâve been angry with you all these years. You were wrong, but...â Her throat constricted as she remembered. But maybe sheâd rushed things. They were hardly out of their teens when sheâd realized she loved him. And now...
âI think youâd better go,â she managed.
He stood. âIâll be back tomorrow.â
âTo work on the house?â
âTo work on the house. And to court you.â
âThatâs why the matchmaker brought you here, isnât it? That was your plan from the beginning.â
âYa, I hoped she could help me get my foot in the door,â he admitted. âBut this, now, is about you and me. Let me show you Iâm not the boy I was nine years ago.â
âAnd Iâm not the girl.â
He grabbed his coat and hat. âWe could make a good couple.â
She remained seated. Her legs were too wobbly to stand. âI canât promise anything, Luke.â
âBut youâll think about it?â
Sheâd think about it...but she couldnât guess what her answer would be.
Dear Reader,
Itâs been so nice to spend time with you. Iâm happy to have been able to share Honor and Lukeâs story. This time, the Amish matchmaker really had her hands full, didnât she? When Luke showed up at Honorâs door that very first day, I was afraid Honor wouldnât let him in! And then where would my story have gone?
Thank goodness Honor had such a steady head and opened that door. I think the moment she saw Luke again, she secretly saw the possibility of love and happiness. Once or twice, though, I was afraid those naughty boys would put an end to the romance before it really got going. I think the Lord guided Luke, though, donât you? And in the end, true loveâGodâs and the love between Luke and Honorâbrought the couple together.
