His Autumn Neighbor: A Small-Town Christian Romance

A handsome veteran with readjustment problems. His best friend’s little sister. And the child who shows up on the doorstep of the home they reluctantly share.

Will Burton’s been warned to stay away from his best friend's little sister, but no worries. They’re polar opposites, plus he’s sworn off women. So sharing a farmhouse with displaced kindergarten teacher Allie Walker won’t be a problem. Sure, Will used to be a player with women, but his time in the military changed him. Now, all he wants is a peaceful, solitary, rural life. He’ll just avoid the pretty schoolteacher.

Until a traumatized little boy shows up on their doorstep, guarded by a very protective dachshund. Turns out Will is a father… and he has no idea how to take care of a child.

Allie’s busy setting up the new farm-to-school program, but she’s never been able to turn down a child in need. She agrees to help Will learn how to be a daddy. The troubled veteran tugs at her heartstrings, but Allie is committed to the single life. She’s totally satisfied playing aunt to her siblings’ kids and beloved teacher to the kids she works with.
The problem is, playing family draws burly, taciturn Will and outgoing Allie dangerously close.

Can they overcome their aversion to love in time to save a little boy… and themselves—from a lifetime of loneliness?
