Amidst the snow-covered landscape, Harper and Nate find themselves drawn to each other, despite the obstacles of their pasts.

He broke her heart once, and she won’t let him destroy the island she loves. If only her heart would get the memo that he’s the bad guy.

And he’s the man for the job. The picturesque summer hideaway is the perfect place for his capstone real estate development.

Chloe Bennett moved to the island at the lowest point in her life, finding the refuge it promised as her heart began to heal.

When she’s high above the tranquil waters surrounding Sanctuary Island, her spirit is as free as the Lake Huron breeze. If only that peace followed her on the ground, instead of the endless grief she keeps pushed down while focusing on inheriting her uncle’s thriving charter business. When a face from her past turns up, all that she’s buried deep inside threatens to spill to the surface and destroy everything she’s strived for. Weary from the relentless demands of his medical career, Colton Brunswick needs a change. Past mistakes have left him empty and numb and he no longer recognises the man in the mirror. He hopes his position as the new doctor on Sanctuary Island will give him the chance to reassess his life and heal his wounded spirit. He’d prescribe a fresh start for anyone else, so why not himself? But starting over is one thing. Confronting his past and dealing with the regret he’s carried over the loss of his best friend for so long is something altogether different. If he can’t forgive himself, how can his best friend’s sister? As Angelica and Colton navigate the waters of their tragic past, faith might just be the ally they both need.

Trusting His Promise

2024

He’s the boy who once made her life miserable…so how can he be the man who teaches her to trust again? The day Beckett Knox left Sanctuary Island was the best day of Josephine’s life. Throughout their school days, he’d teased her mercilessly, ridiculed her faith, and even played a nasty prank that left Jo reeling for years. She hasn’t thought about him since he left, focusing instead on raising her daughter and keeping the fishing charter company she runs with her dad from going under. When Beckett left Sanctuary Island at the age of 18, he made himself two he’d never come back, and he’d never believe in the God who had taken his mother from him. Wrong on both counts. Now he is heading back to Sanctuary Island to make his next Christian film. Though the island is home to some of his worst memories and biggest regrets—including the way he treated Josephine Fletcher—he hopes the trip will be a chance to make amends. When Beckett shows up, film crew in tow, Josephine makes it her mission to avoid him. Whatever trick he is playing with his apologies and attention, she’s not going to fall for it. She is certain his apologies—and his faith—are only for show. But that certainty begins to waver when Beckett steps in to help after her dad gets sick. And when she sees him connect with her daughter. But she’s been hurt by someone pretending to be something he wasn’t in the past. And she’s determined not to let it happen again. Besides, two old enemies can’t become friends. And they certainly can’t fall in love… \\\* Welcome to the shores of Sanctuary Island, where six bestselling authors of Christian romance bring you stories of love and redemption.
