Uncommon Ground

Book 1 of The Pleasant Hearts & Elliot-Kings Christian Suspense series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.


Finding her daughter after a disaster, before it was too late, was her greatest challenge.

Finding his heart unattached to her was his.


Widowed and now single, Stella Heart juggled between managing her professional career and struggling to communicate with her teenage daughter, Sharon. Their common ground crumbled beneath their different beliefs about God. While Stella believed in God, her daughter didn't. Sharon instead held strongly to what they taught her in school—until the day a disaster struck and the ground physically gave way—altering both their perspectives about each other, and more than one person's resistance to God.

Stella's concerns multiplied when she gets lost in search of Sharon. In the ensuing chaos, she runs into Michael, a Christian man with a mysterious past whom danger seemed to follow—and she wondered how many more unseen twists God trusted her her fragile heart to handle.


Can she trust Michael beyond what he appears to be hiding from her, or will her own fears cloud her judgement when extreme danger surfaces?


UNCOMMON GROUND is Book 1 of The 11-book Pleasant Hearts & Elliot-Kings Christian Suspense Series which unwraps the journeys of four orphaned Christian sisters, all in their thirties, and told they'll never marry. To them, marriage did appear too distant as each struggled to build a career while single, and communication between the sisters was less than stellar. But when God stepped in, He showed that He could turn their struggles into triumphs—if they let Him.
