A Fathers Promise (Gracedale Chronicles #5)
Miriam King

Leah has spent her life tending to others with grace and strength, but never once has anyone chosen her in return. When Ezra begins to let down his guard, Leah dares to hope that, for once, love might find her too. But just as something tender begins to grow between them, Ezra retreats—haunted by grief, and pressured by whispers around town.
Then a charming newcomer arrives, drawing attention—and perhaps Ezra’s affections—with ease. Leah steps back, ready to disappear into the background once more. But Ezra’s children, especially his eldest son Daniel, refuse to let her go. As Daniel wrestles with his own anger and longing for stability, the family must face a hold on to the past, or fight for the woman who just might be their future.
