Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When her grandmother asks her to accompany her to Redbud, Pennsylvania, to restore the grand old house she grew up in, Kate jumps at the chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon her arrival in Redbud, Kate meets Matt Jarreau, the man hired to renovate the house. Kate can\u2019t help being attracted to him, drawn by both his good looks and something else she can\u2019t quite put her finger on. He\u2019s clearly wounded\u2013hiding from people, from God, and from his past. Yet Kate sets her stubborn heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light\u2026 whether he likes it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the stilted, uncomfortable interactions between Kate and Matt slowly shift into something more, is God finally answering the longing of her heart? Or will Kate be required to give up more than she ever dreamed?<\/span><\/p>\n
