Box Set 1.jpg

Escape to Hope Springs…a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan where friends become family, faith heals hearts, and love lasts forever. Join the large and loving group of Hope Springs friends as they discover second chances, new beginnings, and God’s unconditional love. Once you visit, you won’t want to leave!

Not Until Forever: 
Sophie walked away from Spencer once. But when she literally walks back into him—and promptly bursts into tears—he knows his heart is in trouble. Five years ago, Spencer offered Sophie forever. But she turned down his proposal and moved away to pursue her career. Sure, he still wishes things had turned out differently, but time and distance have eased the ache. He’s plenty content with his life managing the family cherry orchard in the small town of Hope Springs, where he never has to worry about running into her. Until she comes home…

Not Until This Moment: Being stuck on a ski trip with her ex isn’t exactly Peyton’s idea of a fun vacation…but could it lead to a second chance at love? Peyton thought she had finally met “the one” when she started dating Jared. But when he told her he never planned to get married, she had to face the facts: maybe he wasn’t the one God intended for her after all. Now, she’s just trying to survive the annual ski trip with her bones—and her heart—intact. And maybe meet someone new. Unless God has other plans for her…

Not Until You: One mistake cost Nate everything. One woman stirs something he never expected to feel again: hope for the future. Nate’s star was rising in the world of Christian music. But all that was erased with a single, life-shattering mistake. A mistake that has kept him from seeing his family for seven years. Working for his ruthless father is the last thing he wants to do now. But his dad has made it clear—it’s the only way he’ll be welcomed back into the family. So Nate dutifully heads to the small town of Hope Springs. He plans to keep his head down, put in his time, and leave the moment he can. Until he meets Violet…
