Belinda's Destiny — Karla Gracey

Faith Creek has attracted many folk to its friendly streets, but there are those that have always called it home. Growing up together can often foster strong bonds and fierce loyalties. But it can also see us blind to the charms of those right under our noses. Sometimes we all need to escape the confines of the places and people we know, so we can see more clearly... Belinda Weatherhead has secretly loved Thomas Rawlinson her entire life. Tortured by seeing him every day, the easy friendship he shares with her brother makes him off-limits. So when he leaves town unexpectedly, Belinda decides that it is time she got over him and found herself a man who can see her as she really is. Thomas Rawlinson has always been restless. He longs to get away from the confines of his ranching family, knowing he simply doesn't fit in there. But a year in Philadelphia has him missing the family he loves, and he longs to find a way to return, and to somehow save face whilst doing so. Finding an advertisement in the newspaper, he replies, not knowing how much it will change his life. But, will he like what he finds when he finally meets his mystery woman, or will there be another surprise he simply wasn't expecting?
