IN HIS TIMING
Genre: Christian Romance
Selah Brooks has always believed that if she keeps seeking God first, everything else will fall into place. At twenty-three, she's building the career she's prayed for as a pediatric nurse, cherishing quiet mornings with her Bible, and trusting that if marriage is part of God's plan, it will come in His perfect time.
Daniel Carter wasn't expecting to start over.
After relocating to South Florida for his dream job as an architect, he's learning that new beginnings often come with unexpected loneliness. Determined to keep his eyes on Christ, he's content to let God write the next chapter of his life.
A delayed morning. An unplanned stop at a quiet waterfront park. One ordinary conversation.
As friendship slowly blossoms into something deeper, Selah and Daniel discover that following God doesn't always lead where they expect, but it always leads exactly where they need to be.
Tender, authentic, and deeply rooted in faith, In His Timing is a story about trusting God with unanswered prayers, embracing the beauty of ordinary moments, and discovering that His plans are always worth the wait.

Delicate Disaster
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

At Camp Rockwell, the lake isn't the only thing heating up this summer. Sabrina Quesada is a headstrong leader with a clipboard and a five-year plan- definitely not the type to fall for her reckless new co-counselor and bunkmate, Anna Shumate.

"Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up.
