Years ago, he walked away from the only woman he had ever loved because he feared she wouldn’t want a man who’d failed.
She numbly tried to move on with her life. And is finally beginning to feel she can face the future.
Zaire Breckenridge can’t believe it when her lout of an ex-husband walks back into her life, claiming he’s a changed man. Worse than his invading the sanctuary of her town—the town they both grew up in together—is the fact that he’s invading the peace she finds at church. There really ought to be a rule. The heartbreaker should never be allowed to move back to town.
Landon Breckenridge knows that he’s made a mess of his life. But he also knows that finally surrendering everything to Jesus was the best decision he ever made. He aims to be a better person, and certainly a better witness to his friends and those who watch his rock climbing show on TV. Now if only he can convince the woman he loves to take him back. But if she won’t? Will Jesus be enough?
Sometimes the river of life cascades into a torrent of white-water. And sometimes it levels out on the other side, flowing smooth and slow, like soft kisses…and birdsong.
This contemporary, sweet, clean romance will take you to small-town America, where the neighbors all know each other's business, and the police chief's biggest worry is where to find his next fishing hole. Views: 49

When Havyn Jessup agreed to join her church’s building trip,
she had no idea the man who broke her heart was coming as well. The last thing
she wants is to spend time with the now internationally famous actor, Levi
Carter. Even if it is in Africa, where he might, if God had any sense of
justice, be eaten, one tiny bite at a time, by a pride of hungry lions. Two
whole weeks. She’d never survive that long.
Levi is elated to learn that Havyn will be joining the
building team. He had planned to look her up just as soon as he got home to
tell her what a fool he’d been. But there is no time like the present. And what
better place to ensure she would hear him than when she was strapped in at
thirty thousand feet above sea level? Two short weeks. Could he convince her he
was a changed man in that amount of time?
