Who better than himself to show her the ropes of letting loose?
Sure, taking her to her first high school party, helping her sneak out of the house, or watching a sunset together isn't exactly a hardship, but much harder is masking his feelings the more time they spend together. And when he suggests adding 'a first date' to Kylie's plan and she accepts . . . suddenly all his dreams seem to be coming true.
But Leo's got a secret that could change everything between them, and it's only a matter of time before it comes to the surface.

But when her meddling aunt's first choice of a husband for her turns out to be Emma's last choice-Pine Creek's most notorious bachelor-Emma grows desperate. Her aunt won't listen, no matter how much she tries to tell her the man in no way embodies the Amish values of faith or hard work.
Kind and industrious Levi Bontrager has always wanted to protect his best friend Emma, even after a secret from their youth left them growing apart. Which is why he steps in to claim that Emma cannot wed anyone else, as she is currently courting him. Yes, the small lie leaves him feeling guilty, but Levi's hope is that if he can win back the beautiful Emma's trust, he can also win over her heart . . . for real.
But can a courtship that began just for show ever blossom into a true romance that could save both their futures?
Love may blossom where it's least expected in the delightful and heartwarming Pine Creek series from Amity Hope.
Widow Amelia Baumann has sworn to never love again. She's content to live peacefully in Pine Creek at her friend Mary's warm, comfortable farmhouse. But then Samuel Kurtz shows up and becomes Mary's permanent guest, making it hard to keep her feelings in check. Especially after Samuel's six-year-old niece, Ruthie, whom he's been raising as his own daughter, completely steals her heart.
When the bishops from another district threaten to send Ruthie to live with her distant aunt, so that she'll have two parents raising her instead of just Samuel, he hatches a plan.
Amelia reluctantly agrees to a marriage of convenience with Samuel-only because she loves Ruthie and can't bear to see her torn from the only father she's ever known. Not because Samuel's kind green eyes and charming laugh draw her in. And as long as she and Samuel are in agreement that they will simply remain friends . . . what could possibly go wrong?
