Forged In Stillwater

Forged in Stillwater

Book 3 of the Stillwater Series By Jessa-Lynn

Sixteen-year-old Beth Smitshoek has spent her life inside the heat of the forge mending wagon axles, shaping iron, and keeping her family's smithy alive while her father's debts threaten to swallow everything she loves. Strong-willed, sharp-eyed, and fiercely independent, Beth refuses to be broken by the world that has already taken too much from her. She has one dream left: to build the glass furnace her mother once imagined and carve out a future that belongs to her alone.

But Stillwater has a way of weaving lives together.

Harry Whitaker, steady-handed and soft-spoken, has admired Beth from a distance for months. He knows the language of hard work and quiet loyalty, and he sees the fire in her long before she ever looks his way. When a chance encounter at the church supper brings them into each other's orbit, something shifts gentle, tentative, and impossible to ignore.

Forged in Stillwater marks the beginning of Beth and Harry's slow-burn romance a story of trust built one careful moment at a time, of two guarded hearts learning to lean, and of love shaped the same way iron and glass are: with heat, patience, and a steady hand.

In a town where hardship is common and hope is hard-won, Beth and Harry discover that some bonds aren't found they're forged.
