As the prosperous owner of a gold mine, Zeke Hart has everything he’s ever wanted except for a wife. At Kate’s arrival, he takes it upon himself to protect his childhood friend from the men clamoring to court her. The more he renews her friendship, the more he wants to win her for himself. But as much as Kate admires Zeke, she’s resolved not to marry someone who doesn’t share her faith.
When Zeke begins receiving anonymous threats, he unwittingly puts them both in grave danger. In the midst of peril, the past rises up to haunt them both, and Zeke realizes the fight for Kate’s affection may be his biggest challenge yet.

"It would be just his luck if she happened to recognize him."
Zeke Hart can scarcely believe his eyes when a childhood friend arrives in Williamsville, a remote mining town in Cariboo, British Columbia where Zeke has managed to accumulate a small fortune. The lady is absolutely stunning, and at the moment it appears that she is trying to escape matrimony . . . . . once again.
"She couldn't tear her eyes away - didn't want to break the connection for fear she'd never get it back."
Kate Millington had always secretly admired her older brother's friend Zeke, having lost touch with him after a tragic event sent Zeke running for his life, far away from his family and friends. What a coincidence that Zeke would be the one to rescue her from another one of her failed engagements. Even though their attraction is mutually instantaneous, Kate struggles to remind herself that Zeke openly admits forsaking his faith. How can she possibly risk giving her heart to a man who is still on the run from God; it's what her mother did and their entire family paid the price.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, . . " Is that what it will take?
Lighter in depth, but remaining rich in inspiration, "Almost a Bride" is a satisfying conclusion to a wildly popular series.
