To Bring You Back
2021
He's determined to confront the past she's desperate to forget.
When Adeline Green's now-famous high school crush descends on her quiet life, a public spotlight threatens to expose her deepest regret. After eight years of trying to bury her mistakes under a life of service, she's broke financially and spiritually. The last thing she can afford is feelings for the man who took center stage in her past-even if he does claim to know the secret to her redemption.
Gannon Vaughn and his rock band, Awestruck, have conquered the music industry, but he can't overcome his feelings for Adeline. When he hears she's struggling, he sets out to turn her life around and win back the love he lost to poor choices eight years ago.
But when Gannon's fame and their mutual regrets jeopardize their relationship anew, will grace be enough to bring them back to God and each other?
To Bring You Back is the first in the Rhythms of Redemption Romances, a series of Christian, rock star romances.

An Awestruck Christmas Medley
2021
Four hundred miles of snow-covered terrain stand between the men of Awestruck and a Christmas with loved ones.
A blizzard grounds flights and obscures highways across the Midwest, stranding the band at their latest tour stop in Chicago. But Gannon made a promise he’s determined to keep—to join Adeline in northern Wisconsin for Christmas.
Philip isn’t quite as eager for the holiday. The tour will end shortly after, and then his kids will have to leave their grandparents to stay with him full-time. He loves his children, but he’s not sure he can pull off a memorable Christmas. Does he have what it takes to be a single dad year-round?
When John caught his girlfriend in a lie earlier in the year, he gave her the benefit of the doubt. He plans to introduce her to his family over Christmas, but before they manage to leave Chicago, he discovers more troubling truths. Was he wrong to trust her?
A Christmas filled with peace, joy, and loved ones? That’ll take a Christmas miracle.

To Belong Together
2022
Fame and money have a way of complicating love.
Drummer John Kennedy can keep a beat, but he can’t hold a conversation, so he relies on actions to show he cares. Unfortunately, when he’s instantly intrigued by a spunky female mechanic, he can’t seem to convey the sincerity of his intentions. And the rejections don’t stop there. His own sister is pushing him away just when he could help her most.
Erin Hirsh’s life would be easier if God hadn’t given her a love for cars. Only her father understood her, and she’s losing him to dementia. Her brief romances have always backfired worse than a mistuned engine, and she refuses to give John the chance to wreck her heart. A rock star with a supermodel ex can’t possibly see anything in her.
At least that’s what she thinks until they find common ground in faith and their worsening family situations leave them each longing for a place to belong. Could God intend for this pair of opposites to belong together?
"Fans of Contemporary Romance will devour the second installment in the Rhythms of Redemption series. To Belong Together allows readers to slip into the colliding worlds of rockstar John Kennedy and auto technician Erin Hirsch as they battle old insecurities and search for a lasting sense of belonging. Conrad is a writer to turn to for faith-filled romance with depth and heart." —Amanda Cox, author of the 2021 Christy Book of the Year, The Edge of Belonging
"Emily Conrad delivers a contemporary romance that is pitch-perfect! With characters to root for, moving scenes to tug emotions, and a love story to swoon over, To Belong Together is as engaging as it is heartwarming. Conrad pens a richly-developed story layered with an evocative message—that the pursuit of man’s approval is an empty endeavor because our hearts are already validated, stamped by the love of God. Highly recommended!" —Rachel Scott McDaniel, award-winning author of The Mobster’s Daughter

Since his dismissal from the rock band Awestruck, former bassist and addict Matt Visser has been transformed by faith and a year of sobriety.
If he can repay his parents for one last major debt from his years of irresponsible living, he can move into the future with a clear conscience. Now if only his latest stunt hadn’t gotten him fired from the family business.
After Lina Abbey’s fiancé gambled away their wedding savings, she surrendered her hopes of a family of her own—what man could she trust enough to marry?—and moved for a fresh start in Wisconsin.
She busies herself with her jobs managing Awestruck’s social media and directing Key of Hope, a non-profit funded by the band to teach music lessons to kids from low-income families.

Unable to resist a challenge, he soon adds the goal of winning the trust of his beautiful but cautious coworker.
