Book Description

"This was a fabulous, fantastic, best ever Christmas book. WOW!" -Advance reader She's a fixer... He's about as broken as they come... Can they learn to turn to God for healing and hope this Christmas? Leah has always been a fixer. That's why she decided to foster a troubled teen. And it's why she's determined to give him the perfect Christmas. It might also be why she feels compelled to reach out to her grinchy, reclusive neighbor Austin. But she'll have to be careful that reaching out doesn't turn into something more--she's been hurt by crossing the line from friendship to romance once, and she's not willing to let it happen again. After losing his leg, his friend, and his faith in Afghanistan, Austin figures he's about as broken as they come. For Austin, Hope Springs is simply a stopping point--a place to rehabilitate his leg, get over the burden of his PTSD, and get back into shape to redeploy. He has no desire to get to know anyone while he's here, least of all the meddlesome--if sweet--woman next door. But when she calls on him to help her make Christmas special for her foster son, something compels him to relent. Soon, his heart belongs to both of them. But what if Austin is too broken for even Leah to fix? Can the two of them learn to turn to God for hope and healing--and maybe even a chance at love--this Christmas? Not Until Christmas Morning is a heartwarming Christian romance filled with faith, love, and the reminder to trust God "even if." *** "Not Until Christmas Morning is such an inspiring and uplifting book that you won't want to wait until Christmas to read it! I loved this story of how God can make something beautiful out of broken people and their painful circumstances. If you've ever been angry with God about the suffering in your life or the lives of loved ones, then this book will give you hope. Highest recommendation!" -Advance reader *** While the books in the Hope Springs series are linked, each features a complete romance about a different couple and can be read in any order.

"One of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read! I chuckled, cried, smiled, oohed, aahed and had tummy dips - a delicious rollercoaster ride! ... Definitely in my top 5 books for 2020!!!" -Goodreads Review She's waiting for her someday. He thinks his has already come and gone. After spending the past five years caring for her ill grandfather, Grace Calvano is eager to honor his memory by turning his stately old house in Hope Springs into a bed-and-breakfast. All she has to do is fend off her mama, who keeps pressuring her to come home to Tennessee, marry the new youth pastor, and start raising a passel of children. Sure, Grace wants to settle down and marry someday. But only when God sees fit to send Mr. Right her way. Until then, she's content to wait. After a career- and relationship-ending injury, former NFL quarterback Levi Donovan is sure his someday has already come and gone. Returning to Hope Springs for the summer to help out at his dad's construction company is not his idea of a bright future. But maybe it will be a chance to make up for lost time with his brother--and to make his dad proud at last. The day Levi shows up to help renovate her bed-and-breakfast, Grace is sure of one thing--she and God must have gotten their wires crossed when she asked him to send Mr. Right to her doorstep. Because the motorcycle-riding, football-playing bad boy is the very definition of Mr. Wrong. But as they get to know one another, Grace is challenged to rethink everything she thought she wanted. Can she and Levi move past their own plans to let God give them the someday neither has dared to hope for? Filled with faith, humor, and deep emotion, Not Until Someday will make you laugh, tug on your heart, and carry you away in a story you won't want to end. *** "The characters were so real and believable that I kept thinking about them when I wasn't reading the book!... Filled with so much humor, playfulness, demonstrations of God's love and grace interwoven into a really engrossing and emotional story." -Advance Reader *** While the books in the Hope Springs series are linked, each features a complete romance about a different couple and can be read in any order.
