Zoe de Fleur is a young French immigrant trained as a full chef, just without the title. She moves west thinking she is applying for a position as prestigious cook, but finds herself in a matchmaking scheme. Rather than walk out, Zoe entertains thoughts of marriage to Jakob Gunderson. Isaak Gunderson loves to disapprove of his brother, and Jakob's choice to write away for a mail-order bride is just another way that Jakob has failed. Unfortunately for the 3 of them, Isaak soon discovers that he has feelings for Zoe.

I"ve read a lot of Christian romance novels, and I can usually tell who will get together on the first page. For once, that wasn't true; I still knew pretty early on that Zoe and Isaak were destined for each other. But knowing doesn't diminish my enjoyment. The enjoyment is in the journey.
