Love Starts with Elle

After Elle Garvey's quarterback-turned-minister boyfriend Jeremiah pops the question, the family resolves to give them the send off of the century. But Elle's art gallery business has never been more fruitful, and her widowed tenant throws a real wrench in the works by offering a new kind of love.

Elle's living the dream, but whose dream is it?

Elle Garvy loves her life in Beaufort, South Carolina, spending summer days on the sand bar and enjoying coastal bonfires and dinners with friends. She's found her stride professionally as the owner of a successful art gallery, and she's found love with handsome, confident Jeremiah Franklin. Life is good.

Then Jeremiah accepts a large pastorate in a different state, and Elle turns her life upside down to go with him. When Jeremiah has a change of heart, Elle is hurt and her faith is shaken.

New York lawyer and recent widower Heath McCord imagines the low country cottage he's rented for the summer is the balm his grieving heart needs. That and time to connect with his little girl. He's unprepared for his beautiful landlord, Elle, and the love her friendship awakens.

But God has new blessings in store for these two grieving hearts. Can Elle trust so soon after losing Jeremiah? Can Heath release the memory of his wife and fully love again?
