June Wilde has been told that her beauty will land her a wealthy husband. One who will take her far from the poverty of her youth. So far, all her searching has done is lead her into disgrace and back to her roots.

Luke Hart has always loved June Wilde. But Luke is just a blacksmith—reason enough for her to reject his suit. She doesn’t believe he is different from other men who say they’ll never leave her penniless, and that the beauty he admires in her is much more than skin deep.

But when threatened with ruin and Luke’s steadfastness, June must reconsider her aspirations. Will Luke have the patience to wait for June to discover she’s meant for him alone? Or will her marriage goal keep her from realizing that the sanctuary she longs for has nothing to do with money and everything to do with finding a place for her heart.
