Hope Even After

Daisy Taylor has loved her best friend since high school and she knows better than to hope for more. Grief shattered Luke Masters long ago, driving him from faith and into the numbing comfort of alcohol. Either wound would be enough to keep him safely in the friend zone. Together, harboring love for Luke is pointless. When Pops died, Luke decided faith was nothing more than a crutch for the weak. The bottle became his sanctuary, his escape, his proof that he was still in control-no matter what anyone else believed. Especially Daisy. But when Luke crosses a line he can't take back, the slow, painful journey toward recovery begins. As Luke fights for sobriety, Daisy finds herself walking a razor's edge-wanting to support him without rescuing him, to hope without reopening a love she buried years ago. Their happily ever after didn't just fade ... it died. As old feelings resurface and healing tests them both, Daisy must decide whether hope is worth the risk. Will recovery strip away what little faith she has left or will it grow into something stronger, truer, and more beautiful than she ever imagined? If you believe hope can survive loss, love can grow with boundaries, and faith can rise even after disappointment, begin this redemptive story today.
