He’s barely holding his family together. She’s trying to rebuild hers from the ashes. When heartbreak threatens their tentative romance, will they fall apart—or fall into something more? Luke Daniels never wanted sole responsibility for managing his family’s Montana cattle ranch, but his hard-drinking father has pretty much checked out. It infuriates Luke that while he’s busting his tail to pick up the slack, his sister’s loyalty to their father keeps her from building a meaningful life of her own. Five years ago, the tragic death of Shannon Halsey’s husband sent her spiraling into a depression, but her faith and the gift of their precious newborn carried her through. Never completing the college journalism degree she’d been aiming for, she’s stuck in a dead-end receptionist job while trying to be the best mother possible for her precocious little boy. When Luke stumbles upon Shannon in dire straits, he finds himself drawn to making sure the pretty widow doesn’t give up on the life she deserves like his sister has. Shannon tells herself she can’t fall for her wannabe hero while her late husband still has claim on her heart, but how can she resist Luke’s kindness or the attention he offers her fatherless son? As friendship inches toward romance, a shocking discovery threatens their dreams of a happily-ever-after. Luke and Shannon must decide if they’re willing to risk falling again—into love, into healing, and into the hands of a God who never lets go. If I Fall for You is an emotionally rich Christian romance about second chances, hard-won forgiveness, and love that mends the deepest wounds.
