The Heart I Rescue

A Prequel to the Steadfast Love Series

She lost everything… and buried her heart beneath the wreckage.

When Niki is forced to work with the man who made her high school years unbearable, she braces for frustration. Kyle—a once-cocky tormentor turned skilled helicopter pilot—never forgot her, or the guilt he carries for who he was back then. But faith changed him, and now he longs for redemption—not just in her eyes, but in the life he’s building.


Their mission? Developing a revolutionary flight control system—her brilliant code, his expert flying. But as the pressure mounts and exhaustion sets in, Kyle sees his chance. Not just to prove he’s changed, but to be the one who catches her before she crashes.


She’s spent years keeping her heart locked away, but something about him—the quiet strength, the faith that guides him—pulls her closer than she ever intended. Kyle prays she’ll find the peace that saved him—and maybe even find room in her heart for him too.

The Air I Breathe

Steadfast Love Series Book 1

One moment of weakness. One chance at redemption.


Single mom Kelly Sutton thought she had left her past struggles behind, but starting over in Arizona brings them rushing back. Determined to rebuild her life near her daughter’s father, Kelly is blindsided when panic attacks threaten to unravel her carefully laid plans. In her darkest moment, help comes from an unexpected source—Matt Dixon, the kind yet overburdened roommate of her ex.


For Matt, juggling a demanding career, seminary classes, and an internship at church leaves little room for distractions. But when Kelly’s vulnerability sparks something deeper in him, his perfectly organized life takes a sudden turn. Can he find space in his heart for love without sacrificing his calling? And can Kelly trust herself—and Matt—enough to embrace a second chance at happiness?


This tender Christian Contemporary Romance explores themes of faith, resilience, and the courage to love. Will Kelly and Matt find their way to each other—or will their dreams pull them apart?
