About this ebook

Her school reunion was just an excuse.

New Christian Ivy Villard really returned to Eden, Oklahoma, to reconcile with her father, her sister…and Ryan Jeffords, the high school boy she left behind. Checking into the Heavenly Arms Motel with all her earthly possessions in her car, she prays for a fresh start.

Ivy chased adventure in the big city, but she's learned her lesson. She hoped for a peaceful homecoming, yet bitter grudges prove stubborn. Her father refuses to hear her apologies, and watchful neighbors whisper about her past.

Of all her mistakes, there's nothing she regrets more than throwing Ryan's love away. Ryan poured his energy into coaching his high school students; shielding Ivy soon commands his whole heart.

Walking together to a sunrise Easter service in the park, they discover that faith and forgiveness can bridge the years. Now they have a second chance, if they're brave enough to take it.

  • Found Family: Welcomed by the warm Jefford clan, Ivy discovers steadfast support in homemade dinners, shared prayers, and a community that practices true grace.
  • Also by This Author: Carbon Copy Cowboy, The Sheriff's Runaway Bride and Her Montana Christmas.
