Promises of Mercy: A Christian Romance (River Falls Book 5)

Judah Calvano, a renowned heart surgeon, left his faith, family, and first love behind years ago. A career-ending diagnosis forces him to return to his hometown, where he encounters Faith Armstrong—his first love—who now runs a local pie shop and has built a stable life with her teenage son. Faith has found peace through her faith and the life she's constructed. Judah's unexpected return disrupts her carefully maintained world and threatens to expose a secret she has kept for nearly two decades. When a burst pipe damages her bakery, Faith reluctantly accepts Judah's help, and their renewed closeness makes it difficult to ignore the possibility that God may be creating something new from what they once lost. When the long-hidden truth emerges, it will determine whether it brings them together or destroys them permanently. The story explores themes of redemption, second chances, and divine grace.
