From the chintz window treatments to the plush carpeting, Lisa Machon has carefully designed every detail of Innovations, her Newport, Rhode Island interior design firm. Control has been the objective in her personal life, too. Until she meets the dashing, carefree sailor Neil Lamont, a man who doesn't seem to have a care in the world.
Little does she know that he is not as fancy-free as he appears. They are united only by their mutual affection for Countess Lamont, Neil¿s mother, and destined to go to great lengths to bring her happiness. Through faith, will they see that Lord is really in control of our lives? And will faith open their hearts to their love for each other?

She focused on the view of the dancing waves in the distance through her window, trying to pull herself together. "How's your mother?"
"Okay, thanks, but the break-in shocked her system."
"That's not something we want."
"Not at all."
"I know about her heart problems in the past." Lisa wondered if she should mention Neil's father's fatal skiing accident years before. After all, everyone in Newport knew about it, and how it started the countess' heart problems. For now, Lisa decided not to bring it up.
They stood facing each other for a long moment. Neil radiated a pent-up energy, the air between them charged with emotion.
For some strange reason she could not explain, Lisa kind of liked it. Oh, Lord...
