A woman can't help falling for her best friend's brother in this first book in a new heartwarming Amish romance series.

Lydia Shrock knows Jay Lapp dislikes her, but that won't stop her from asking him to volunteer for the Handiman Auction organized to help an Amish family provide for their critically injured son. If Jay's gorgeous face and piercing blue eyes inspires either the English or Amish women of Illinois to dig into their pockets for a good cause, then Lydia will do whatever it takes to secure his participation.

Jay isn't sure why he wound up on the auction block being eyed by a bunch of women, but he knows who to blame for it: Lydia, the lovely, distracting, off-limits best friend of his younger sister.
