The Prodigal Comes Home

After ten years away, former wild child Zoey Decker returns to Mirror Lake to care for her ill grandmother. It seems no one will let her forget her teenage rebellion – and the tragic consequences.

Except Matthew Wilde, the church's handsome new pastor. Matthew sees the kind, caring Christian Zoey has become. But spending time with her could hurt Matthew's reputation in the close-knit community.

And her name will never appear on the town matchmakers' list of possible wives for him. But Matthew has his own list, with only one name – Zoey.
