Lakeside Sweetheart

In the New York Times–bestselling author’s sweet and wholesome romance, a brief return home leads to unexpected feelings for the handsome pastor next door.

Returning to her hometown to clear out her late mother’s house, Vanessa Donovan’s goal is to do the job quickly and escape. She refuses to get involved with her handsome neighbor, Rory Sanderson. And she certainly won’t let herself be dazzled by his smile and caring ways. Because if there’s one thing Vanessa won’t do, it’s fall for a minister.

While the pastor in Rory wants to mend Vanessa’s wounds, the man in him can’t resist the beautiful woman. But while he’s helping her, Vanessa is doing the unthinkable—healing his own deep scars and opening his heart. Now he’ll have to muster his courage and his faith to convince her that love is worth the risk.
