A feud they inherited. Two rivals forced to work together. A spark neither can ignore.
Despite enjoying his work as a rector’s assistant, Issac Reed yearns for a parish—and a family—of his own. After receiving an unexpected living in the town of Lashborough, Isaac finally sees a path forward. Unfortunately, his new beginning gets off to a rocky start. Not only does he struggle to connect with the people he is meant to serve, but his efforts are complicated by the vexing woman he is forced to work with.
Amelia Ashby is certain of two things: first, that she will do everything in her power to help the people of Lashborough, and second, that the entire Reed family cares only about themselves. To her utter dismay, Isaac Reed has become the new rector in her precious town, and her determination to protect the town and people she loves only deepens—even if that means working alongside the enemy.
While Isaac hopes to end the decades-long family feud, Amelia insists on stoking the flames. Forced into spending time together, they soon realize they both want what’s best for the people of Lashborough and that their assumptions about each other may have been wrong all along.
