DESTINED FOR YOU LP - TRACIE PETERSON

Can she endure the storms that life throws her way?

Gloriana Womack’s world has grown smaller since scarlet fever claimed her mother and two siblings. Devoted to holding her fractured family together in Duluth, Minnesota, she cares for her father and younger brother, but the worry weighs heavily on her heart, especially with her father often away on long fishing trips in the unpredictable and perilous waters of Lake Superior.

Meanwhile, Luke Carson arrives in Duluth to facilitate the arrival of the railroad at the city’s port. Eager to reunite with his brother and sister-in-law, who are expecting their first child, Luke faces fierce competition from neighboring Superior, Wisconsin, which is vying for the tracks. However, the true danger lurks in the form of a man who has followed Luke across the country, seeking revenge.

A tragedy brings Gloriana and Luke together, and they support one another through their shared grief, their lives becoming increasingly intertwined. As they navigate the trials ahead, they begin to wonder if fate has destined them for each other all along.

"Peterson delivers a touching tale of love built out of shared grief in this enjoyable first installment of the Ladies of the Lake series. . . . Peterson creates a memorable romance between Luke and Gloriana that's rooted in mutual hardship and renewed faith. This series is off to a strong start."—Publishers Weekly
