A devastating accident had almost destroyed Jay's will to live. No bit of sunshine could tempt him to believe in goodness, but then Rachel swept into his world and opened the curtains. She showed him how much he'd missed by abandoning God, how faith could empower him. Jay searched his soul to express his gratitude?and growing love for her.

After a disappointing relationship, heiress Libby Carlyle needed to change her life. So she winged a prayer heavenward and traded places with her less privileged best friend. No sooner did she step into her new waitress shoes than Libby fell in love with her very stern, very handsome boss, Carson Davies. If she could only find a way to reveal her true identity...

Determined to succeed, Carson ran himself ragged and relied only on himself. When he looked up from his blinders, he noticed a beautiful woman working for him. Suddenly he wanted to be with her and share her faith in God. But did he dare trust these budding feelings, or the voice inside that urged him to believe?
"Interesting read, with plenty of romance and a light faith message."
