After Everything

Some lies are meant to protect. This one might destroy them both.

Five years ago, Soren Halverson watched the woman he loved die in a fiery explosion—and blamed himself for every flame. He's spent years drowning in loss, chasing the bottom of a bottle and the edge of something darker.

Officially, FBI agent Lacey Willette is dead. Faking her death was the only way to survive… even if it meant abandoning the man she loved without an explanation.

But when she stumbles upon Soren in danger, instinct overrides caution.  What begins as a desperate intervention becomes something deeper. As old wounds reopen and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, Soren and Lacey are forced to reckon with questions neither are prepared for—about forgiveness, about calling, and about whether faith can survive after everything.

But the past doesn't release its grip easily, and the dark secrets that forced Lacey into hiding are closing in. The man who once tried to kill her is still out there—more ruthless, more determined—and this time, he won't stop until he finishes what he started. To save her, Soren must step into a life he turned away from—and a faith he's long abandoned.

This emotionally intense story weaves faith-centered second chance romance with heart-stopping suspense and redemption that doesn't come quietly—it fights, it heals, and it dares to believe that after everything, God can restore what was lost. Buy today!
