The Chapel at Mercer Cove : A Small Town Christian Romance (The Sisters of Wrenhaven Island Book 3)
About
Wren Mercer has spent her whole life learning to leave first. This summer, a windswept island is about to give her every reason to stay.
Wren left Wrenhaven Island years ago and swore she’d never come back. A wedding photographer who keeps a bag packed by the door, she has spent her life safe behind the camera — because the person in the picture is the one who gets left, and Wren decided long ago it’s safer to do the leaving. Now she’s home for one season only: a summer of weddings at her sister’s inn, a contract with an end date, a ferry ticket already booked.
Caleb Hale never expected to put down roots on a barrier island. A widowed carpenter raising his little girl alone, he came to rebuild the island’s storm-broken chapel and quietly stayed for the peace it gave them both. When the prickly wedding photographer turns up to shoot the very weddings he builds the spaces for, Caleb tells himself he isn’t looking — until his five-year-old, Birdie, decides Wren is hers, and he starts to wonder if Wren might be his second chance too.
Through one storm-struck summer, Wren and Caleb are thrown together wedding after wedding, and the careful distance she keeps from everyone begins to close. But Wren has a ferry date circled and a lifetime of running in her bones, and Caleb has a daughter who can’t bear to be left by one more person. When the season’s biggest wedding collides with the worst storm of the year, Wren has to choose between the exit she’s always trusted and the family that’s quietly becoming home.
Will Wren stop running long enough to let herself be found? Or will she board the ferry and leave behind the best thing she never let herself want? The Chapel at Mercer Cove is a heartwarming, faith-filled second-chance romance and the third book in The Sisters of Wrenhaven Island series — clean, Christ-centered, with a happy ending and no cliffhanger.
Clean and wholesome Christian romance with faith at the center, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
