Love at the Lake

She's still holding on to the past. He never planned to fall in love.

Years after fleeing her small Nebraska hometown, Mercedes Capanuchi has built a quiet new life in Phoenix, Arizona—far from the tragic accident that still haunts her. Keeping her head down at work is safe… until the company's annual retreat at the lake places her squarely in the spotlight—and under the watchful, all-too-attentive eye of her confident, capable boss.

Determined to move forward, Mercedes steps outside her comfort zone—only to find herself drawn to a man she shouldn't want. Shayne Moore is everything she's tried to avoid—charming, steady, and far too easy to trust. But with her ambitious supervisor clearly setting her sights on Shayne, and the unexpected pull between them growing harder to ignore, Mercedes knows getting close could cost more than her carefully guarded heart.

And when the fiancé she left behind suddenly reappears, Mercedes must decide if she can fit back into her former life… or if her heart is leading her somewhere new.

Shayne Moore is confident, capable, and completely in control—or so he believes. Keeping his professional and personal lives separate has always been easy… until Mercedes. Helping her come out of her shell feels harmless enough—until admiration turns into something far more complicated.

Drawn together despite their better judgment, Mercedes and Shayne find themselves fighting a growing connection neither of them expected—and neither can ignore. But when a sudden danger at the lake forces them to confront what truly matters, they must decide if they're willing to trust God—and each other—with their hearts.

Because sometimes, healing begins where fear once lived… and love shows up when you least expect it.

Love at the Lake is a heartwarming Christian romance filled with second chances, gentle humor, and a faith-filled journey toward courage, healing, and true love.
