Blueprints of Grace
(2026)(The sixth book in the Later in Life Romance series)
A novel by Peter Jaksa
Some blueprints are drawn on paper. Others are written on the heart.
At fifty-one, architect Diana Brooks believes her best work is behind her. After a quiet divorce and years spent designing award-winning buildings that never quite filled the emptiness in her own life, she accepts a pro bono assignment that seems simple enough: design a new women's shelter for her church.
But Grace Haven is far more than another construction project.
Working alongside Michael Donovan—a compassionate social worker who has spent six years fighting to make the shelter a reality—Diana discovers that every floor plan begins with someone's story. As blueprints become walls and foundations support places of healing, she learns that true architecture isn't measured in square feet, but in dignity, hope, and the courage to begin again.
Together they must navigate community concerns, construction challenges, and their own carefully guarded hearts while building a place where women and children can rediscover safety, belonging, and tomorrow.
Filled with authentic midlife romance, quiet faith, unforgettable friendships, and the warmth of a community choosing compassion over fear, Blueprints of Grace is an uplifting story about second chances, purposeful living, and the beautiful truth that God often builds our greatest blessings one faithful step at a time.
If you enjoy heartfelt Christian romance, mature characters, slow-burn relationships, and stories where hope is built with both grace and hard work, you'll fall in love with Blueprints of Grace.
