"What a magnificent story of love, forgiveness, and redemption. Another must read by Valerie M. Bodden!"
He’s the boy who once made her life miserable…so how can he be the man who teaches her to trust again?
The day Beckett Knox left Sanctuary Island was the best day of Josephine’s life. Throughout their school days, he’d teased her mercilessly, ridiculed her faith, and even played a nasty prank that left Jo reeling for years. She hasn’t thought about him since he left, focusing instead on raising her daughter and keeping the fishing charter company she runs with her dad from going under.
When Beckett left Sanctuary Island at the age of 18, he made himself two promises: he’d never come back, and he’d never believe in the God who had taken his mother from him.
Wrong on both counts.
Now he is heading back to Sanctuary Island to make his next Christian film. Though the island is home to some of his worst memories and biggest regrets—including the way he treated Josephine Fletcher—he hopes the trip will be a chance to make amends.
When Beckett shows up, film crew in tow, Josephine makes it her mission to avoid him. Whatever trick he is playing with his apologies and attention, she’s not going to fall for it. She is certain his apologies—and his faith—are only for show. But that certainty begins to waver when Beckett steps in to help after her dad gets sick. And when she sees him connect with her daughter.
But she’s been hurt by someone pretending to be something he wasn’t in the past. And she’s determined not to let it happen again. Besides, two old enemies can’t become friends. And they certainly can’t fall in love…

Do you love Jesus, books, and love stories?
What a coincidence—I do, too!
I knew we'd get along well.
​
A little bit about the types of books you'll find here: I write emotional books about real Christians dealing with real problems of life, love, and faith. Your heart might crack a little bit for these characters because their problems are our problems, their hurts are our hurts, their deepest needs are our deepest needs. But I promise your heart will always be put back together by the end, and you'll walk away feeling uplifted and reminded of the power of love—not only romantic love but, more importantly, the love our heavenly father has for each of us. A love so great that he sent his son to pay the price for our sins so that we would have the promise of eternal life.
​
Motivated by that promise, my desire is to show the power of love in the lives of my characters. Don't forget to grab your free book below to get started. I can't wait to go on this journey together.
