Bridal veil

by Cathy Marie Hake

Laurel is content at home. But she's determined to show she can "rough it" alongside her rugged family on a seven-week journey to Yosemite. Her paints and perfumes packed, dainty Laurel Chance is overwhelmed by the raw beauty of nature...and the unexpected attention from their unofficial guide. When Gabriel Rutlidge catches sight of "Princess" Laurel Chance, he believes she's come to tame the wilds with pink parasols and lace. Unable to resist the family's warmth and charisma, Gabe finds himself getting to know the woman behind the frills - a woman with a rare ability to represent the park he loves through her art. When Laurel learns Gabe's heart doesn't belong to the Lord, will she be willing to accept the only Bridal Veil in her life may well be Yosemite's famous waterfall?
