Gateway Crescent

Luke Donwell detoured from his expected vocation when he became a high school music teacher. Now it's time to choose—commit to his students or tend to a larger flock. Then destiny throws his best friend's alluring younger sister into his path.

Frivolous and flighty Jo Bendixon doesn't have her life all worked out like her older sisters do, but what's the rush? She's having fun being a barista, teaching kids to code, and living down to everyone's expectations.

She's never given earnest, steadfast Luke a second glance. Volunteering to help with his youth concert seems a safe harbour in her stormy world.

Neither prophesies the temptation flaring hot and bright between them. It might scorch them to the heart…or spark a match made in heaven.

(This is a steamy, open-door romance. The characters express a wide range of views on faith and religion.)
