The Prayer Thief
Ellie Grace
When Magnolia "Maggie" Chen returns home to open a coffee shop next to Cornerstone Community Church, she finds herself drawn to Sam Kowalski—the new community outreach coordinator with a color-coded calendar and an uncanny ability to solve everyone's problems.
Maggie has her own every morning, she slips anonymous prayers into the church's wooden prayer box, sharing her hopes, fears, and growing feelings for the methodical man who researches cat psychology and organizes harvest festivals with military precision.
As their relationship blossoms through early morning coffee dates and community crises, Maggie begins to notice something miraculous—prayers around town seem to be getting answered. Mr. Patterson's arthritis improves, families find unexpected opportunities, and her small community feels more connected than ever.
But when a shocking revelation threatens to destroy everything they've built together, both Sam and Maggie must learn what it truly means to love, forgive, and trust again.
Can their love survive when the foundation it's built on crumbles? And in a town where everyone knows your business, is redemption possible when you've made the worst mistake of your life?
A heartwarming tale of second chances, small-town community, and faith that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the power of love. Perfect for fans of cozy romance with depth and heart.
Features a judgmental cat with excellent taste in romance, the most organized man in small-town America, and coffee that might just save souls.
