MY STUBBORN HEART PB

'A beautiful story that proves sometimes falling in love is a matter of faith. Becky Wade creates characters readers will love.'
--Lisa Wingate, national bestselling author of 'Blue Moon Bay' and 'Dandelion Summer'

Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When her grandmother asks her to accompany her to Redbud, Pennsylvania, to restore the grand old house she grew up in, Kate jumps at the chance.

Upon her arrival in Redbud, Kate meets Matt Jarreau, the man hired to renovate the house. Kate can't help being attracted to him, drawn by both his good looks and something else she can't quite put her finger on. He's clearly wounded--hiding from people, from God, and from his past. Yet Kate sets her stubborn heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light... whether he likes it or not.

When the stilted, uncomfortable interactions between Kate and Matt slowly shift into something more, is God finally answering the longing of her heart? Or will Kate be required to give up more than she ever dreamed?

--Deeanne Gist, bestselling author of 'A Bride Most Begrudging' and 'Love on the Line'
