When given the opportunity to buy the local mercantile Emily St John snaps it up mostly because it will allow her to work side by side with the man shes loved since childhood Surely hell finally pay attention to her But Jeremiah Daniels cant believe it Hes scrimped and saved in order to buy the store he works in and hes waited to court Emily until he had it and could provide well for her Now he figures she can just keep her store and spend her spare time working for womens suffrage Hes going to open a shop of his own All is fair in love and war its said but can this stubborn pair rise above their pride and see Gods plan is for them to be together
