He thought independence could wait.
She knew love could not. . .

Logan Miller is thirty-five, successful, and deeply rooted in the comforts of his parents’ home. Marriage has always felt like a risk he isn’t ready to take. But when Cora Mast arrives in Holmes County, her quiet strength and steady faith awaken feelings Logan can’t ignore—and fears he can no longer avoid.

Cora longs for a home of her own and a husband willing to build a life alongside her. As their affection grows, so does the tension between Logan’s desire for love and his fear of failure. When those fears cost him the woman he loves, Logan must search his heart, lean into faith, and decide what it truly means to become a man.

A tender story of growth, faith, and second chances, this novel explores what happens when love asks for courage—and comfort is no longer enough.
