AlexandeHe relies on his power. She relies on her prayers. But the biggest test of faith will be the truth.
Alexander Vanderbilt has spent his life surrounded by superficial luxury and ruthless ambition. The golden boy of a global empire, he believes in only two things: wealth and self-reliance. God has no place in his world. But when his family demands he enter a cold, arranged marriage to secure a corporate merger, Alec rebels. He dumps his cards, his keys, and his famous name, fleeing to a quiet coastal town to prove he can survive on his own terms.
Operating under the alias "Alex," he swaps tailored suits for flannel and takes a manual labor job at a struggling bookstore. He expects to find isolation. Instead, he finds Clara Henley.
Clara is a woman of deep, unshakeable faith, raised in a tight-knit Christian community. She works herself to the bone to keep her business afloat, trusting God to provide where her bank account fails. And she has one ironclad rule: never trust the wealthy. She has seen how money corrupts the soul, and she reserves her deepest pity and contempt for the godless, ultra-rich Vanderbilt family.
When "Alex" walks into her shop, Clara sees a brooding, cynical drifter who needs a fresh start and a saving grace. As they work side by side, Alec is captivated by her genuine warmth and a peace he's never been able to buy.
