Abigail's Promise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966093190)

She came to restore a church. He came to bury his past. Together, they'll save a town.

In the shadow of Colorado's rugged mountains lies Clear Springs, a silver mining town where hope has all but vanished, until missionary Abigail Whitaker steps off the stagecoach, determined to fulfill her parents' legacy by restoring their abandoned church.

Jonah Brooks has spent four years burying his past beneath the rhythmic clang of his blacksmith hammer. The war-hardened veteran has carefully constructed a solitary existence where memories can't find him and faith can't challenge him. The last thing he needs is a Boston missionary with fierce determination shining in her eyes.

When Abigail's restoration efforts begin to unite the townspeople, she discovers she's not just rebuilding a church, she's dismantling the invisible chains that mine owner Silas McGrant has wrapped around Clear Springs. As McGrant's threats escalate, Abigail refuses to abandon her mission, even as danger shadows her every step.

Against his better judgment, Jonah finds himself drawn to Abigail's courage and unwavering faith. The walls he built after losing everything during the Civil War begin to crumble as he steps into the role of reluctant protector. But in a town where silver determines who thrives and who suffers, their growing connection could be their greatest vulnerability.

As things escalate and secrets buried in the mountain's depths threaten to surface, Abigail and Jonah must decide what they're willing to risk. Not just for the town's freedom, but for a second chance at the love Jonah doesn't believe he deserves.
