"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you." Jill looked at the drawing and the title at the top: Our Unfailing Love. But could it really be as simple as that? When Jill Summers wishes for a date for the prom, she doesn't dream the one who will appear in her life will be handsome and rugged Drew Tyler, whose fierce pride masks a tender and sensitive soul. Jill is attracted to Drew, but she is afraid he will never be accepted by the in-crowd at Langford High. From opposite sides of the tracks, they become partners in a park reclamation project. They first clash, then she finds herself falling deeply in love with him and he with her, even though his pride has already been badly wounded. But old ties are hard to break. When Drew catches her kissing her "best friend" Eric, tempers explode. Underneath, she harbors old prejudices, and he and his drifter father hold secrets that will shock her and affect Eric forever. Can Jill really stand by the one who has captured her heart? Will Unfailing Love overcome all odds, or is their star-crossed romance doomed from the start?I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave a review.
