Winner of the 2018 Christy Award Book of the Year

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. However, when John, an adoptee, is diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his ancestry.

John enlists Nora's help to uncover the identity of his birth mother, and as they work side by side, this pair of opposites begins to suspect that they just might be a perfect match. But can their hope for a future survive their wounds from the past?

The author is an exceptional storyteller. She writes with wisdom, creativity and the skill of a seasoned writer.

Wade starts this new series off strong, introducing characters that are easy to invest in.--Publishers Weekly

Award-winning author Wade has written a fun, humorous, romantically heavy storyline with a serious side. . . . She creatively interweaves multiple adoption aspects, family importance, rejection, grace, trusting God, and giving Him control.--Christian Market

Wade excels at writing more than just a clean romance. She draws complex characters and creates storylines (with plot twists!) to go along with them. Her books tackle challenging issues like adoption, identity, rejection, and trusting God at all times. Her characters are engaging, even as they struggle in their faith journey. --Christian Library Journal chevron_left Read Less
