Accepting Elijah’s Heart (The Grande Pearl Series, book 1)

Former bad boy opens his heart to a grieving widow…

Elijah Cooper grew up in church but without a relationship with God. Something he didn’t think he needed until he did. When Eli offers Reina support in a crisis, a friendship develops that could blossom to more. But with his troubled past, he is not interested in a love match or a ready-made family.

After her husband’s untimely death, Reina Blackwell can’t trust the ground she walks on not to crumble beneath her. She’s certainly no longer trusting the God who created it. Not after he shatters her world leaving her alone to mourn and raise her son.

With scars too deep to heal on their own, can Eli and Reina find the faith they need to give and receive love?
