The Perfect Groom

LOOKING FOR MR. RIGHT???
Ivy York knew exactly what she wanted in a husband. If only heaven would send Mr. Right her way: a sophisticated partner who enjoyed all the finer things in life.
Handsome, hardworking Noah Thornton was definitely not her dream man. No matter that his teasing grin brightened her day and his dark gaze warmed her heart. When would Noah realize they'd never be more than friends?
Still, Ivy could not deny his many fine qualities???his kindness and strong faith. Yes, Noah was a catch, she thought???for some other woman. But was the perfect groom she'd prayed for waiting beside her all along?

Ruth Scofield grew up in Kansas City, Missouri in a time when "Let's pretend..." and "What if..." were everyday phrases based on only movies and books. No TV or video games. She graduated from Paseo High School, then married Charles Schmidt at nineteen. They have lived in Chicago, New York State, and Washington, D.C. Ruth gained her first professional writing experience by writing small features and social news for The Independent-Leader, a weekly newspaper, which served all of Rockland County, New York. Nevertheless, Ruth's heart was always in fiction. A few years later, while living in a Washington, D. C. suburb, Romance Writers of America came to town in its third annual conference. Ruth raced to join. From there she joined a hard working critique group and sold her first novel in 1992.Now back in Missouri, Ruth continues to study the craft and art of writing. She enjoys family gatherings, her grandchildren, and studying Missouri/Kansas history, especially, the rich lore of the westward trails-Louis & Clark, Santa Fe, California, Oregon, and Mormon.
