Running from the Storm

Grief brought her to Mexico. A storm of secrets will keep her there.

Chandra Fenimore needed an escape. After the devastating loss of her parents, a mission trip to the remote village of San Isabella seems like the perfect chance to rebuild her soul through service. But she didn't count on Andrew Gunderson.

Andrew is a man defined by wreckage. A hot-tempered construction manager haunted by a tragic accident two years ago, he guards his heart with walls thicker than the buildings he constructs. To him, Chandra is just another outsider who doesn't understand the weight of his ghosts.

When a catastrophic accident on the job site nearly repeats history, the shockwaves shatter Andrew's carefully maintained facade. As the dust settles, Chandra uncovers the heartbreaking truth about the man behind the anger. In a place where faith and sorrow collide, they must both decide if they are willing to stop running from their pasts long enough to catch the grace standing right in front of them.

Julia Colquitt Allen delivers a poignant, slow-burn romance about the courage it takes to love again when everything you've ever built has come crashing down.
