Restoring Faith - Tara Baisden L

Faith McNeil has spent her life constructing things that last-a thriving family business, intricate woodwork, and an unshakable reputation as Laurel Ridge's only female carpenter. But beneath her tough exterior lies a heart scarred by abandonment and doubt. When a health crisis sidelines her father and hidden information reveals a shattering family secret, Faith finds herself grappling with the cracks in her carefully crafted world. She's always relied on herself, but now, more than ever, she needs strength she's not sure she has. The last thing she needs is a charming distraction.

Ryan Dalton is ready for a fresh start. After walking away from his high-stakes corporate career, he's returned to Laurel Ridge to restore his grandparents' Victorian farmhouse into a cozy bed-and-breakfast. But tackling the massive renovation project on his own is more challenging than he anticipated. Enter Faith McNeil-skilled, guarded, and impossible to ignore. Hiring Faith's company for the restoration seems like the perfect solution, but Ryan quickly realizes he's not just fixing a house-he's building a bridge to Faith's guarded heart.

As sparks fly amidst sawdust and blueprints, Faith and Ryan are drawn together, and their budding relationship is tested by secrets from the past and fears about the future. Faith struggles to trust anyone-even God-while Ryan's steady faith and optimism challenges her in ways she never expected.

Set against the breathtaking Appalachian backdrop of Laurel Ridge, West Virginia, Restoring Faith is a heartfelt Contemporary Christian romance that celebrates resilience, redemption, and the beauty of second chances.
