Love in Disguise — Penny Zeller

Who knew concealing one's true identity could be so disastrous? Who knew asserting one's independence would cause such embarrassment? If only Almira Emilie Crawford Wheeler hadn't insisted upon carrying her own stack of parcels, she wouldn't have landed in an unladylike heap on the boardwalk. And what about the half-truth she told the handsome stranger who came to her aid? The stranger she never expected to see again? Thad Alexander Evanson should have been paying closer attention to the boardwalk, rather than the newfangled automobile motoring down the street. Had he been more astute, a collision with the beautiful parcel-laden stranger might never have happened. And if it never had happened, he wouldn't have told a partial-truth he figured wouldn't matter. Before long, Emilie and Thad are arranging to meet for a noonday meal each weekend in Missoula under the guise of different names. But what happens when their true identities are revealed? When half-truths are exposed? Could God have a plan even in the midst of a tangled web of lies?
