He knew Lacey feared the worst. Yet with his life in stand–up shape, the only thing that needed changing now was Lacey's mind.

Could Cory Bellanger be more than a friend?

The tall, dark and handsome forest ranger has a way of making Daphne Carruthers feel safe. Her brother's buddy is also awakening feelings deeper than friendship. Daphne wants to believe in the future Cory's offering, but first she must come to terms with her painful past.

It was certainly not the way Marielle expected to meet a man––any man––but when she visited the gentleman she'd helped save from an accidental plunge, she was intrigued...but only until Russ's workaholic nature made itself known. She'd had more than enough of that from her exfiance. So when his boss suggested Russ volunteer in her teen center (the least Russ could do after having landed on her car!), the last thing Marielle was looking for was romance. But love just might bloom where she least expects it....

And though the pastor welcomed her, a threat from Celeste's past could destroy what she'd worked so hard to build, unless her musical partner could become her partner for life.

It was up to Georgette to show her handsome boss a downtown man should take a risk on an uptown girl....

Love is patient, love is kind.–1 Corinthians 13:4
