Honey Creek Sweethearts — Barbara Kaylor

This is a Christian romance.

Honey Creek's newest sweethearts make an odd couple. He's dashing, playboy Payton Vance, the next president of the bank who's got a devious agenda. She's Evelyn Green, a plain-Jane wallflower who is slowly emerging from her shell thanks to her volunteer work. Their romance surprises everyone, but none more than Evelyn.

Why would Honey Creek's most eligible bachelor pursue her? The question haunts Evelyn daily as she draws closer and closer to the man who is so different from her. She seeks God's guidance in the matter, but enjoys Payton's attention in the meantime. Is she making a huge mistake, falling for him? The answer eludes Evelyn until she learns the ugly truth behind Payton's sudden, unexpected interest in her.

The discovery is a turning point for the Honey Creek sweethearts. Each must decide what's important to them, but neither can do it without God, which presents Payton with a problem. Is he strong enough to make the life-altering change needed to keep the woman he loves?
