Amid the Ashes

He's stealing her cat. She's guarding her heart.

When her boss crosses a line, Johanna Strand quits her job to chase her dream of becoming a social media chef. But turning a hobby into a career is harder than she imagined — especially when the only business coach available in her small Norwegian town is her infuriating neighbor… who also happens to be luring her cat away.

Gunnar Rikardson would love to avoid Johanna entirely. Her accusing glares over the cat — which definitely comes over by choice — are bad enough. But when a mutual friend begs him to take her on as a client, he reluctantly agrees.

Working together is prickly at first, but sparks start flying where neither expected them. Gunnar is still carrying the fallout from a past relationship that nearly destroyed him, and Johanna is terrified of falling for another man who might not want her back.

Both are wounded. Both are stubborn. And both might be risking everything for the chance to heal — and maybe, finally, to love again.

Amid the Ashes is Book 4 in the Seasons of Faith Christian romance series: five longtime friends, one small Norwegian town, and a reminder that God's timing is always perfect — even when love arrives in unexpected ways.
