Available Now!
Five years ago, Teagan Donovan drove away from Pelican Shores with a shattered heart and swore she'd never look back. Now the grandmother who raised her is gone, and the only road home runs straight past the husband she never stopped loving.
Evelyn St. Clair left her granddaughter more than a clifftop manor on the Maine coast. She left a wild garden, a letter, and one last act of holy meddling: a reason to stay.
But Wade Donovan isn’t the man she left. Steadier now. Gentler. Undone by a faith Teagan isn’t sure she can trust. And before she ends it for good, he asks for one thing: two weeks.
Can those two weeks outweigh five years of fear against a love that refuses to let go?

“Rooted in Christ. Inspired by His Word. Empowered to Share Hope.”
