Thea Jennings has her life mapped out—finish school, take care of her mother, and keep her faith strong. Dating isn’t on the agenda, especially not with a wealthy, guarded businessman like Finley Beau. But when a few chance encounters turn into something deeper, Thea finds herself drawn to the man who challenges everything she thought she knew about love, faith, and belonging.

Finley has spent his life building walls, shielding himself from a past filled with expectations he never asked for. But Thea is different—she sees beyond his wealth, past his carefully curated life, and into the man he’s trying to become. She believes in a love that’s guided by faith, and while Finley is finding his own way back to God, he’s terrified he’ll never be enough for her.

As their worlds collide, class differences, family pressures, and unresolved wounds threaten to pull them apart. Thea refuses to settle for anything less than a love rooted in faith, and Finley isn’t sure he’s worthy of the gift she’s offering.

Will they find their way to each other, or will doubt and fear drive them apart?
