A HEART ON CONSIGNMENT (THE HEART OF THE AMISH)
By Mindy Steele
Salina Stoltzfus feels pressure from her parents and her friends, because she doesn't have a boyfriend or any hope of marriage any time soon. She has been hurt by a man she cared about and doesn't want to keep looking for true love.
Seth Weaver is staying in the same area as Salina, he's nursing his own broken heart. He wants to have a certain kind of job that most people think is silly for an Amish man. He works in his uncle's woodshop, but his heart isn't in woodworking.
A nearby storm creates havoc for a nearby town. Salina and Seth are both single and volunteer to start organizing a consignment shop for the victims or anyone who needs help. They start off as pretend friends and go from there.
This is a delightful Amish romance. It has the purity that you expect from that genre. Highly recommend.
