“Those smell delicious...”
Lizzie placed one of the hot cookies on a napkin and set it in front of Paul. His eyes lit up in a look of sheer delight.
The smile on his face broadened as he said, “Ah, Lizzie, you do know the way to a hardworking man’s heart.”
She gasped and took a step back, and out of a long-practiced instinct her hand flew up to cover the scar on her face.
She wasn’t trying to work her way into anyone’s heart, least of all Paul’s. He was her childhood friend.
“Lizzie.” His tone softened. “I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable with my words. Please don’t shy away from me.”
Slowly, she lowered her hand.
“You don’t need to hide your face from me, ever. I need you to understand that, Lizzie.”
She gave him a slight nod, fighting the urge to cover her scar again.
And all the while she felt his gaze on her...
A Love for Lizzie is my debut novel with Love Inspired. As my characters Lizzie and Paul went on a journey, so did I. This was my first time writing an Amish story. I discovered that the Amish community is built on traditions, faith and family. And even though their life is lived simply, the Amish have their share of life’s trials and tribulations. Paul and Lizzie have to overcome many obstacles, including trusting in their faith in God and in each other. Though my book is set in a fictional town called Miller’s Crossing, the actual area is based in beautiful Chautauqua County, also known as the Southern Tier of New York State. As you read this book, imagine rolling hills, dotted with barns and acres of open farmland.
You can learn more about me by visiting my website at www.traceyjlyons.com, or stop by my author page www.Facebook.com/TraceyJLyonsAuthor. I love hearing from my readers. You can contact me at [email protected].
I hope that you enjoy reading Lizzie and Paul’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Welcome to Miller’s Crossing!
Happy Reading,
Tracey
