A Real and Precious Thing — Brenda Bancroft

When coin collector Loralie Morgan meets Jonathan McGuire at an out-of-town coin show, he seems to be everything she ever wanted in a husband. Surely he must be the answer to her prayers, the man God wants for her male.

Why is it then that angry Denis St. John is the one who makes her heart pound and her senses race? With Jonathan, she feels contended and comfortable, as though they have known each other forever. She and Denis don't even trust each other yet...deep down Loralie wonders, is this the real thing?
