A novel by Betty Woods
She’s learned not to trust men. He’s determined to change her mind.
After years of betrayal and disappointment, Angelique DuBois has built a life rooted in safety, family, and firm boundaries. At Oakridge, she devotes herself to caring for the aunt and uncle who gave her the love she never knew.
Then Nathanael Williams arrives, along with the rumors that follow him.
Sent away from Charleston while scandal threatens his reputation and his family’s business, Nathanael plans to wait out the storm and return home. But the longer he stays in Tennessee, the more one thing becomes clear. Earning Angelique’s trust may be the greatest challenge he has ever faced.
And the most important.
Angelique has no intention of believing another charming man. Not after everything she has endured. Yet Nathanael’s steady presence, quiet faith, and growing compassion begin to chip away at the walls she has so carefully built.

Because loving Nathanael means leaving behind the only home she has ever known and the family she cannot bear to lose.
As past wounds resurface and family secrets come to light, Angelique must decide if she can trust not only Nathanael, but also God’s plan for her future.
Will she choose the safety of what she knows, or step forward in faith toward a love she never expected?
