Hosea's bride

by Dorothy Clark

Though her sins were like scarlet . . . Forced into prostitution by her stepfather, Angela Warren found salvation one terrifying night in Crossroads Church. The words of a handsome visiting preacher and the strength she found in the Lord led her to a new life in Harmony, Colorado. Could she wear a white veil? But Angela's hard-won happiness was threatened when her church appointed a new pastor, Hosea Stevens -- the very preacher who'd saved her years ago. Angela tried to avoid him, lest he recognize her, but Hosea persisted in knowing her better. Panicked by his romantic interest -- and her own feelings -- Angela fled, but Hosea pursued her. Could he bring her back to his church . . .as his bride?
