Loving her is a risk he can’t afford . . . and can’t resist.

When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents’ past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge mountains to chase down her family’s secret. However, it’s Genevieve’s own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of an historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she’s worked so hard to hide.

Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He’s spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet, can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?

I've been reading Becky Wade books for a long time now.  She's definitely a favorite of mine in the Christian fiction genre.  She creates wonderful characters with substance and personality.  It's what I love most, I think.

This book has many different sides to it.  Both Sam and Gen have demons they are fighting.  They are flawed but inherently good.  You can feel their goodness and their desires clearly.  I love how the backstories for both Gen and Sam built as the book progressed.  We get Sam's a bit faster which was helpful in understanding his struggles with Gen in particular.  To add even another layer, Gen and her sister are involved in an investigation of sorts, which brought some mystery and intrigue to the story.  It was interesting and engaging the whole way through and I really found myself loving the characters in this story.  Becky Wade made that easy to do.

Content:  heavier on the Christian elements, drug abuse, kissing.  Light mention of abuse, murder.

When baker Penelope Quinn steps in to help her brother’s family through a medical crisis, she’s forced into close proximity with charming Air Force fighter pilot Eli Price.

Penelope has one iron-clad dating rule—she does not date airmen. Months ago, she relaxed her rule with Eli and immediately lived to regret it. After a long deployment, he’s now back in Misty River and, to her dismay, she finds him just as tempting as always.

Eli’s spent months thinking about funny, feisty, creative Penelope. He once leveraged his focus and drive to become a pilot, his childhood dream. Now he's set on leveraging that same focus and drive in order to convince Penelope to give him one more chance.

This romantic prequel novella introduces readers to the quaint mountain town of Misty River and a brand-new series from Christy-winning author Becky Wade!
