Shelter In His Arms
In the shadows of sacrifice, true strength isn’t found in standing alone, but in the courage to lean on someone else.
When Sheriff’s Deputy Reed Dunbar responds to Hannah Gentry’s emergency call, he never expects to find his path to redemption in her quiet strength. Haunted by a past tragedy where he failed to protect a young mother, Reed has dedicated himself to safeguarding Laurel Ridge—and keeping his heart sealed behind walls of guilt.
Hannah has surrendered her photography dreams to care for her wheelchair-bound mother, building a fortress of self-reliance that leaves no room for vulnerability or love. But when her mother’s health crisis shatters her carefully constructed world, Hannah faces an impossible choice: maintain her fierce independence or accept the shelter offered in Reed’s arms.
As mounting medical bills and unspoken fears threaten to overwhelm them both, Hannah and Reed must confront their deepest wounds to discover if faith can truly heal what’s broken. In the embrace of their close-knit Laurel Ridge, West Virginia community, they’ll learn that sometimes the strongest shelters are built by two damaged hearts coming together.
