The Porch Swing at Dusk
(2025)(The third book in the Porchlight Promises series)
A Story by Lila Montgomery
The Porch Swing at Dusk
Porchlight Promises — Book Three
By Lila Montgomery
Savannah Blake never thought she’d find herself back in Willow Springs. Not after everything she’d left behind. Not after all the big-city dreams she chased into disappointment and dust. But when life in Nashville comes crashing down, she’s left with nothing but a suitcase, a worn porch swing, and the little white house her grandmother has kept just the same all these years.
Willow Springs hasn’t changed much — the quiet streets, the scent of honeysuckle on the evening breeze, the way the townsfolk still remember everyone’s business. And sitting on that porch swing at dusk, Savannah wonders if she really has it in her to stay this time.
Then she sees him.
Graham Porter.
The boy she once shared summer nights and shy smiles with, now grown into a steady, quiet man who never left, never stopped tending the garden, never stopped believing in the kind of faith and belonging Savannah’s heart has forgotten how to trust.
As summer unfolds, Savannah finds herself drawn into a rhythm she thought she’d lost — early mornings in the kitchen with her grandmother, afternoons helping Graham in the community garden, evenings spent on the porch swing watching the stars come out. And slowly, tenderly, the walls she’s built around her heart begin to crack.
But staying means more than just putting down a suitcase. It means facing the whispers of those who still doubt she can stay put. It means confronting the parts of herself she’s been running from for years. And it means daring to believe in the quiet kind of love that blooms where it’s planted — the kind that comes not in grand gestures, but in steady hands, patient hearts, and the unwavering grace of God.
When the annual summer festival lights up the square, Savannah must decide: will she leave again, running back to the life she thought she wanted? Or will she finally stay, trusting that the One who planted her here knew what He was doing all along?
The Porch Swing at Dusk is a tender, faith-filled story of second chances, quiet love, and finding home in the most unexpected places. Fans of clean and wholesome romance, heartfelt Christian fiction, and small-town charm will feel right at home on the porch swing of Willow Springs — where love waits patiently and grace never lets go.
Come sit for a spell, feel the breeze, and discover what it means to finally come home.
