Introduction

When Katie Bender’s fiancé died in a tragic accident, so did her hope of finding love. Seth Stutzman arrived in Hope Falls days before the tornado. And when he helps usher Katie and the children in her school to safety, sparks fly. Rebuilding the community is a huge task, and soon, Katie and Seth are working side by side. As they privately wrestle with their feelings for each other, another silent—and ultimate—battle for their hearts rages unseen. Sworn to protect what God has ordained, the mighty angel Elias appears to them as a mysterious visitor. And with his guidance, Katie and Seth find the courage to take the first small steps toward the life, and love, they were destined for.
