She lost everything. Trust. Faith. Her way. The last person she expects to find it all with... is him.

After a devastating tragedy shattered her world, Cassandra Pageant vowed never to trust again. Not people, not God, and certainly not love. Once a joyful kindergarten teacher, she's now hidden behind a front desk at a small-town clinic in Cinnamon Hill, guarding her heart behind routine, sarcasm, and distance. She doesn't do pets. She doesn't do touch. And she definitely doesn't do second chances.

But when a scrappy, injured kitten shows up on her porch-and the only vet in town is Sebastian Hart, her late brother's best friend and the boy who once held her heart-Cassie is forced to face more than matted fur and wary eyes.

Sebastian never stopped loving Cassie-even after the tragedy that changed everything. He's kept his distance, carrying guilt and prayers that never seem to get answered. But now that she's back, wounded but within reach, he's determined to show her that not all love leaves scars... and some wounds only faith can heal.

As storms gather outside and within, the walls around Cassie's heart begin to crack. But when danger comes too close and the past refuses to stay buried, she'll have to choose: will she cling to the safety of control, or risk everything on the God she's tried to forget... and the man who never gave up on her?

In a town that remembers everything, can two hearts marked by loss find the courage to love again-and trust the One who makes all things new?

Autumn Storms is a Christian contemporary romance with strong faith themes.
