A guarded woman. A grieving man. When crisis brings them closer, they must learn to trust each other-and God-for the healing they've both been running from
Anna James has always been the calm one-the dependable friend, the steady volunteer, the woman who never cracks no matter what life throws at her. But beneath the surface, she carries wounds she's never allowed anyone to see.
Ivan Romano knows something about wounds. After losing his mother, he's spent years serving others, pouring himself out to fill the emptiness inside. When a sudden crisis at their church's community center breaks through Anna's composure, Ivan finds himself walking beside her in a way neither of them expected.
As their friendship deepens into something more, they must learn what it means to trust God's timing, face their pasts with honesty, and discover that redemption doesn't just heal broken hearts-it binds them together.
A tender, faith-filled, friends-to-lovers romance about grace, healing, and the kind of love that stays.
