The Refusal Julie L Spencer

A Mormon girl and a Mennonite guy walk into a hardware store. Wait... what?

Melissa Dalton is tired of being coveted for her beauty and has given up on men who can't value her feisty independence. She's content with her new job in a new town far away from her college sweetheart and the proposal she refused.

Troy Weller just wants to work his land, feed his chickens and finish building his new house. He doesn't want his father, the Brethren, and the cute little brunette at church to choose who gets to sew curtains for the kitchen windows.

When Troy comes to Melissa's rescue at work, he assumes she'll appreciate his help. Instead, he finds himself confronted by a headstrong woman he's instantly drawn to.

But she's too independent for his conservative religion, and he'll be excommunicated if he marries her. They're not supposed to fall in love, but they can't seem to stay apart.

Can they find a way to stay on the same page even if they're reading from a different book?
