Her Unexpected Family. Ruth Logan Herne

      Her heart sped up.

      She ordered it to stop that nonsense, right now.

      Her heart had other ideas. When Grant climbed out of the car and crossed the drive, the sight of him, rugged and strong, dressed in working man’s clothes, tugged at her.

      “You’re shoveling?”

      “Just finished.”

      “I’d have done this for you.” He reached out and tucked her hair back behind her ear, then indicated the walks with his gaze, but didn’t move his hand. “It would be my pleasure, Em.”

      The strength of his callused hand against her cheek, against her ear, sent warmth through her. “Grant, I—”

      “You’re beautiful with snowflakes in your hair.” He spoke softly, tenderly. “But you’re beautiful without the snowflakes, too.”

      “Grant…”

      “Em.” He whispered her name then gathered her into a long, warm embrace, the kind of hug a woman would cherish for all her days.

      “I’ll see you in the morning, okay?” She stepped back, because if she didn’t, she might linger in the yard forever, lost in the moment.

      Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

      —Ephesians 4:31–32

      To my beautiful daughter Beth:

      You are a blessing and a delight to us.

      Thank you for being a constant source of

      love, light and encouragement.

      And the four grandkids are a total bonus!

      A special thanks to Jean Cosgriff, Ed Hall,

      Donna Kocienski and Kathy Pittaway for their

      love and help during my years at Bridal Hall.

      Your warmth and humor made it an

      absolute pleasure to work there!

      And to the constant efforts of the Town of Parma

      Highway Department, always working to keep

      roads safe and clear. Your example helped me

      shape this delightful story. Every time you get

      behind the wheel of one of those big plows or

      machines, you’re a hero to so many of us.

      Thank you!
