Coming Through the Rye 

The much-loved daughter of a good family, Romayne Ransom led a sheltered life. Then, one tragic day, her world came crashing down around her.

And now—now that Romayne’s brother has run away and her father has suffered a serious stroke—Evan Sherwood wants to be her friend and help her! Why can’t he just leave her alone? That’s what Romayne wants… or is it?
