The Restoration of Grace [A Contemporary Christian Romance]

A high-stakes architect. A rugged contractor. And a crumbling chapel that might just be the only thing that can save them both.

Evelyn Wright had it all—a soaring career in Atlanta, a prestigious mentorship, and a name synonymous with architectural perfection. But when a structural failure in a high-profile project is pinned on her, she loses everything in a single weekend. With her reputation in ruins and her confidence shattered, she flees to the quiet, mud-slicked hills of Cedar Creek, Tennessee, to oversee the restoration of a century-old church. It’s supposed to be a simple job to hide away and lick her wounds.

Caleb Miller, a widowed contractor and devoted father, doesn't have time for city girls with fancy binders and rigid blueprints. He knows the "Jesus House" better than anyone, and he knows that Cedar Creek needs a miracle, not a corporate consultant. He’s spent years bracing the walls of his heart against another loss, but the arrival of the stubborn, brilliant Architect threatens to bring the whole structure down.

As they work side-by-side to beat a sixty-day deadline, they uncover more than just rotted beams and rusted nails. Between the discovery of hidden wartime letters and the laughter of a little girl who needs a mother’s touch, Evie and Caleb must decide if they are willing to look past the cracks in their own lives.

When a massive structural discovery threatens to shut the project down—and a tempting offer of reinstatement calls Evie back to her old life—she is forced to choose: return to the "perfect" life she thought she wanted, or stay and build a home on a foundation of grace.

A heartwarming story of community, redemption, and the beauty found in second chances.
