THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS

No way would Sheryl Kyle trust in men–or heaven–again. Her heart had been broken a hundred different ways, her once-sunny soul shadowed by unanswered prayers. Now she hid behind a cynical, citified shell, where neither God nor man could hurt her.

And that's where rugged rancher Mark Andrews found her. He'd come to take her home to Sweet Creek–to make peace with her stepfather before it was too late. Mark embodied strength. Offered tenderness. And urged Sheryl to let faith, forgiveness…and love…guide her way. Would Sheryl run? Dare she stay?

Welcome to Love Inspired™–stories about life, faith and love that will lift your spirits and gladden your heart. Meet men and women facing the challenges of today's world and learning important lessons about life, faith and love.
