Benjamin Porter has loved Victoria Adams for years, but she has been unwilling to risk their friendship by considering anything more. When circumstances finally give Ben an opportunity to show that his patience is not simply passivity, Victoria must reconsider the assumptions that have kept him safely categorized as a friend. The close-knit Harper’s Station community ensures that their changing relationship does not happen unnoticed. Karen Witemeyer’s novella offers a compact friends-to-lovers romance about steadfast affection, faith, and discovering that the right man may be the one willing to wait without demanding an answer.
