      Dear Reader,

      Welcome to Truelove, North Carolina—Where True Love Awaits, set in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

      The course of true love doesn’t always run smooth, but never fear. The Truelove Matchmakers will make sure everyone finds their happily-ever-after.

      Amber is afraid that she’s messed up so badly she will never find love again. Yet when she chooses forgiveness, she finds true freedom.

      For Ethan, trust doesn’t come easily, either. Because he finds the courage to open his heart to Lucy and Stella, he and Amber find their happily-ever-after as a family.

      No matter how tragic the past or present, God can take what is broken and make it into something beautiful. He delights in bringing beauty out of brokenness. For truly, God is the happily-ever-after for which we were made.

      I hope you have enjoyed this journey with Amber, Ethan, Lucy and Stella. I would love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected] or visit www.lisacarterauthor.com.

      In His Love,

       Lisa

      And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

      —Romans 8:28

       About the Publisher

       Chapter One

      Ethan Green had feared this day coming, almost as long as he could remember.

      The double glass doors whooshed shut behind him. An antiseptic smell assaulted his nostrils. On the intercom, someone paged a doctor. An orderly pushed a squeaky cart past Ethan.

      Heart pounding, he headed straight for the information desk. “Can you give me the room number for ErmaJean Hicks, please?”

      “I’ll be with you in a minute.” The volunteer answered the ringing phone. “Truelove Medical Center...” Ignoring him, the woman scrolled through the computer monitor.

      He bit back his frustration. Beads of sweat peppered his forehead. A dozen scenarios, each one worse than the last, flashed through his brain. What had happened to Grandma Hicks?

      A broken hip? A stroke? A heart attack?

      Suppose she’d passed? Suppose he’d missed saying goodbye? Suppose he never got to tell her how much he—

      “Ethan? Is that you?”

      Amber Fleming’s blue eyes—the same blue as her hospital scrubs—widened and locked on to his. Something entirely painful zinged inside his chest.

      Her hair the color of winter wheat, she remained as tall—or in her case as small—as he remembered. But other than her ponytail, the pesky tagalong he recalled from high school was long gone. A pink stethoscope draped around her neck, she looked very professional.
