A Place Where Love Finds You: A Small Town Christian Romance (A Place Called Home Series)

She had protected her heart so well, she almost forgot what it felt like to use it.

Laurel Whitfield is good at her life. Her Nashville design career is finally hitting its stride, her faith is steady — if a little managed — and she has learned, after one devastating mistake, exactly how much of herself to give and how much to keep safely tucked away. She is fine. She is capable. She is completely in control.

Then she arrives at her grandmother’s lakeside property for the annual Whitfield family reunion — and says something she cannot take back.

It’s a small thing, really. A careless comment to her grandmother GG that sets off a chain of assumptions Laurel doesn’t quite correct in time. Suddenly the entire Whitfield family believes she has brought someone special to the reunion. And the man next door — the quiet, steady architect who rented the neighboring cabin for a working retreat and somehow keeps showing up at the fence line — is looking at her with the kind of eyes that see straight through careful management to whatever is underneath.

She wasn’t supposed to notice him.

Amos Reid didn’t come to Sycamore Cove for a reunion. He came to finish a project, keep to himself, and return to his life in exactly the order he planned. He is patient, grounded, and utterly unhurried — a man whose faith runs through everything he does rather than sitting politely on a Sunday shelf. He wasn’t supposed to get involved in the warm, chaotic orbit of the Whitfield family.

But GG has other ideas.

Because GG has been praying — for six years, every Thursday morning, with the particular patience of a woman who knows the difference between wishful thinking and God’s arrangements — for exactly this. And now she is watching something unfold in her own backyard that looks very much like an answer.

As the reunion week deepens and the family closes in with their warm, relentless affection, Laurel finds herself face to face with everything she has been carefully avoiding — her faith, her fears, and a man who is precisely what she told herself she would never trust again.

Because the last time she believed in someone this much, she was completely wrong.

What if this time she isn’t?

A story about the prayers someone else prays on your behalf, the courage to come back from the guarded life, and the love that finds you when you finally stop running from it. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn romance, rich family dynamics, and faith-filled love stories where the walls come down one honest conversation at a time.

A Place Called Home Series — interconnected standalone romances about finding where you belong. Each book features a new couple and can be read on its own.
