As the successful owner of a bridal shop, Della Valentine has seen fairytales come true. When her own personal Tall, Dark, and Handsome strolls in, she can hardly believe her eyes. His gruff manliness is the polar opposite of her frills and pink lifestyle, yet they seem to belong together. Brandon Stevens is a former Navy SEAL. Rules and regulations are his life. But something unexpected wells up within him when he sees the dainty Della. He longs to protect and teach her - to have her by his side for all time. But when Brandon finds the Lord, he knows he cannot be unequally yoked to a non-believer. Thought it breaks his heart, he knows that unless Della finds true love - the love of her Savior - their life can never become one. Will Della discover what the Lord's love is worth?
