Restoring for Love: A Christian Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664246898)

Dave Carmichael and his daughter Peyton had been renovating homes for several years and were considered as among the best designers in the city of Calgary. When Peyton's aunt Julie, a realtor who lived up north, contacted them with an opportunity to restore a Lodge 300 miles away in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Dave was skeptical and thought it would be too far away. Peyton was excited though. She knew it would be a huge project, but they enjoyed doing flips, and she would be able to spend time with her aunt and enjoy the outdoors. Dave was finally persuaded and they purchased the Lodge in the small town of Rocky View. Little did they know that it would change both of their lives.

Peyton drove the motorhome, packed with tools and equipment for the three-month month period that they were expecting to stay at the site. Dave was driving his pickup. The weather was stormy that day, and Peyton lost Dave along the way. What she didn't realize was that not long after they left home, he was in a serious accident and was taken back to the city in an ambulance. Peyton couldn't reach him online and continued to the Lodge on her own. When she was finally able to speak with him, he said he wouldn't be able to continue with the project, and she would have to do it on her own.

Tom McCauley is a handsome young man who is single and the owner of a log home company in Rocky View. He is good friends with Julie and her husband Ed, and is a Christian, involved in church activities and well respected by the people in town. Julie is often trying to find a partner for Tom because he is over thirty and he would like to marry if only he could find the right one. When Peyton tells Julie and Ed about Dave's accident, they are horrified but promise to come and help her with the restoration. Julie contacts Tom to help as well, and when the two of them meet, it is the beginning of their relationship.
