Say Yes: A Small Town Christian Romance (One Year to Change Everything Book 1)

About

She came to Maine to start over. He has spent sixteen years refusing to start anything for himself.

Claire Whitmore has spent her life saying yes to everyone but herself. After a panic attack finally forces her to walk away from her Boston wedding-planning career, she buys an old hardware store in a Maine harbor town, sight unseen, and decides to turn it into the bookshop she’s always wanted.

Then she meets Jesse Callahan.

He’s the contractor hired to renovate her crumbling building, a lifelong Maine man with a loyal dog, a dry sense of humor, and a habit of saying exactly what he means. Claire expects arguments over budgets, ceilings, and the dangerously soft back wall.

She doesn’t expect to fall for the man who is quietly rebuilding her shop while carrying a dream of his own he’s been too afraid to pursue.

As Claire learns to set boundaries, find faith, and build a life that belongs to her, Jesse must confront the truth he’s spent sixteen years avoiding: staying faithful doesn’t have to mean staying stuck.

But when an unexpected offer threatens the bookshop she’s come to love—and a painful misunderstanding puts the future of their relationship at risk—both of them will have to decide what they’re willing to say yes to.

Sometimes changing your life doesn’t happen in one brave decision.

Sometimes it happens one small yes at a time.

Say Yes is Book One in the One Year to Change Everything Series—a collection of heartfelt standalone Christian romances about the unexpected ways one year can change a life, a heart, and the meaning of home.
