Healing Hearts

Stay Publisher's Summary

Loyalty to the past is safe. Love requires risk.

Emily is done chasing perfect. After her fiancé leaves over the one thing she cannot give, she’s determined to rebuild her life quietly, without heartbreak, without hope.

Jacob already lost everything once. When his wife walked away, he learned the cost of not being enough, and he refuses to go through that again.

But when Emily and Jacob meet, the connection is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous. Because the one thing that broke them before could destroy this too.

During a mission trip that changes everything, they’re forced to confront the truth they’ve both been hiding. They must decide if love is worth the risk of being left again.

Some wounds protect you. Others keep you from the life you were meant to have.

The question isn’t whether they’ll fall in love. It’s whether they’ll be brave enough to stay.
