Risking Love
Book 4 of the Maple Run series
Two people in Maple Run find that attraction is easier to acknowledge than the vulnerability a lasting relationship demands. Past disappointments have taught them to protect themselves, even when those defenses threaten a promising connection. Faith, honesty, and the support of their close community invite them to risk trust without any guarantee that love will be painless. Hopeful and intimate, this Christian romance suits readers who enjoy interconnected small-town series, emotionally cautious couples, supportive friendships, and courtships where courage means allowing another person to see the wounds beneath composure.
