Leap of Faith

Faith has a new landlord…

Faith Thompson never thought she'd see Chase Stevens return to the small town of Mercy. She certainly didn't expect him to come back as her new landlord, set on selling the home she's had for the past seven years. Faith never found the courage to tell Chase how she felt back when they were still friends, and she's determined to keep those old feelings dead and buried now that he's back. After all, it devastated her the last time he left, and Chase already has plans to leave again for his life in L.A. But the more time Faith spends with Chase, the harder it is to ignore the way she's always felt about him. With potential heartbreak looming on the horizon, Faith has a decision to make: does she take a leap of faith and tell the only man she's ever loved how she feels, or does she push him away and let her heart heal for good?

A long time ago, they used to be friends…

In ten years, not much has changed in the small town of Mercy. At least, that's what Chase Stevens believes when he's forced back to his hometown to renovate the unwanted house his mother gifted him. The interaction with his new tenant, Faith Thompson, however, quickly dispels him of that notion. When they were younger, Faith was a tough-as-nails tomboy and his best friend. Now, she still has the quick wit he always appreciated and her love for the outdoors, but she's not the confident young woman Chase grew up with. With his life and business back in L.A. and a divorce looming over his head, Chase should tie things up in Mercy as quickly as possible, but the desire to spend time with Faith and rekindle their friendship is irresistible. And when friendship has the potential to blossom into something more, Chase must decide whether it's nostalgia for his carefree younger years tempting him to stay, or whether he once overlooked everything that was right under his nose.
