Mercy's Promise (The Promise Series Book 1)

Two broken hearts. One desperate arrangement. A second chance neither expected.Glenn Ward survived the war, but he is losing the battle at home. His wife is dying. His twin newborn sons are fighting to live. And the faith that once steadied him now feels hollow. Anger is easier than prayer. Control is easier than hope. When he hires a wet nurse to save his boys, he tells himself it’s only practical. He doesn’t need comfort. He doesn’t need God. And he certainly doesn’t need love.Anika Coltrane buried her husband and her infant daughter on the same day. Grief nearly destroyed her, but she has a young daughter who still depends on her strength. Taking a position with the Ward family offers shelter and security — nothing more. She cannot afford to risk her heart again. Not after losing everything.But under one roof, sorrow recognizes sorrow. Late-night cries turn into quiet conversations. Shared burdens grow into fragile understanding. To move forward, Glenn must confront the anger he carried home from war, and Anika must dare to trust again. Together, they must decide whether faith is something they’ve lost… or something worth fighting for. Read more
