One train delay. One case of mistaken identity. One life he never planned to want.
Washington, 1970s. Secret Service agent Caleb Graham has thirty-two minutes to catch a train, recover a stolen government cipher, and slip in and out of a dangerous dinner party without anyone learning his real name. What he doesn't plan for is a stray dog, an injured newsboy, a fistful of armed pursuers - or a mistaken carriage that sweeps him, disguise and all, straight down the aisle of a wedding he was never meant to attend.
By the time the minister pronounces the words, Caleb Graham is a married man. His bride is a stranger - pale, frightened, and bound by threats he knows nothing about. His mission isn't finished. His pursuers haven't given up. And somewhere between a runaway train, a rigged cab, and a field of forget-me-nots, he discovers the one thing his careful, ordered life never accounted for: falling in love with the wife he never expected to have.
Caught between duty and devotion, deception and truth, Caleb and Calie must untangle a web of blackmail, danger, and old sins finally come due - trusting, with each step, that the same God who answers before we call has been writing this story all along.
"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." - Isaiah 65:24
A warm, suspenseful Christian romance for readers who love Grace Livingston Hill - where danger tests two hearts, and faith carries them home.
