Harvey House Brides Novella

After ten years away, Gretchen Briggs returns to her hometown in New Mexico to fill in at the Harvey House, only to be reminded of the reason why she left when Dirk Masterson, the man who broke her heart, reappears. Then suddenly, disaster strikes and together they must learn to put the past behind them and reconcile with God as they fear the worst.

Finding herself the object of society's pity after her fiancé falls for another woman, Myrtle seeks out adventure working as a Harvey Girl, content to hold fast to her vow of remaining a confirmed spinster--until she meets Jack, a self-made man and a frequent guest at the hotel. But when her ex-fiancé appears, she must decide between her old and new lives.

Willow finds herself drawn to the hotel's new busboy, Graham, but little does she know he's a railroad heir working undercover to track down criminals using his trains. As he sets out to find the truth, another truth soon becomes equally urgent-will the Harvey Girl he has come to love care for the railroad heir as much as she cared for the lowly busboy?

Clinging to the hope of escaping her town and her past, Rosalind Kemp keeps her head down and works hard until her contract as a Harvey Girl expires and she can flee. But when her past catches up to her, will she find the courage to stop running and face down her past with the man who has defended her honor from the start?
