The Porch Swing Pact
(2025)(The first book in the Porchlight Promises series)
A Story by Lila Montgomery
The Porch Swing Pact: Porchlight Promises — Book One
A clean and wholesome contemporary small-town romance full of faith, second chances, and the quiet grace of coming home.
The porch swing creaked like an old friend calling her name.
When Amelia Hart left Sweetwater Ridge for the bright lights of Nashville, she thought she’d never look back. But after her career, her relationship, and her confidence all come crashing down, the only place she can think to run is her grandmother’s quiet old house—the one with the chipped paint, the sagging shutters, and the porch swing that once held all her dreams.
She never expected to find Wes Carter still here.
Wes was the boy who once sat beside her on that swing, the boy who promised her—under the stars and fireflies—that no matter where life took them, they’d always find their way back home. And here he is now: older, steadier, and somehow still able to see right through her defenses.
All Amelia wants is to piece her life back together quietly, maybe reopen her grandmother’s long-shuttered bookstore, and figure out what comes next. But nothing stays quiet for long in Sweetwater Ridge, and Wes seems determined to help her whether she asks for it or not.
As Amelia scrubs dust from the shelves and breathes life back into the little shop that once lit up the town square, she begins to realize she’s not just rebuilding a store—she’s rebuilding her faith, her future, and maybe even her heart.
Wes remembers the pact they made all those years ago. And if Amelia lets him, he’ll help her keep it.
But old wounds run deep, and Amelia isn’t sure she deserves the kind of love that stays.
On the creaking porch swing of her childhood, under a sky full of stars and grace, she’ll have to decide: can she trust God to turn her mess into a message? Can she trust Wes to stay?
And can she believe that home—and hope—were here all along?
The Porch Swing Pact is the heartwarming first book in the Porchlight Promises series by Lila Montgomery, perfect for fans of clean and wholesome romance, small-town charm, and uplifting Christian fiction. Filled with tender moments, gentle humor, and timeless truths of faith and second chances, this is a story of finding your way back—to home, to love, and to the God who never lets go.
Come sit a spell. Feel the breeze. And remember the promises that matter most.
