A sweet romance about forgiveness, redemption, and love the second time around.

Kelsey and Philip were close friends in high school until she wised up and severed all ties with him. Twelve years later, Philip Ashe's reputation around town as a ladies man gives her even more cause to be wary of him. Unfortunately, as Julia's bridesmaid, she's paired with Philip and subjected to his outrageous flirting.

Not even a tornado can spoil Neil and Julia's wedding. But it does cause substantial damage in the area, and Kelsey volunteers to go with Pastor Garrett Stone's team to help those affected by the storm. Surprisingly, Philip steps up too, which forces her into unwanted proximity with him again. She tries to ignore him, but when Philip's kindness and generosity peek from beneath his shallow, devil-may-care façade, she remembers why she fell for him in the first place. But Philip's not a Christian, and her friends at Bethel Church caution her not to be 'unequally yoked' with him, even when he asks her to help him with a wonderful plan to help the needy in Coldwater.

The battle at Bethel rages as Kurt Haney and other legalistic deacons try to undermine Garrett's leadership and his teachings on grace. Haney's cruel words in the past drove Philip away from Bethel. Will his obnoxious behavior continue to reinforce Philip's negative attitude about the church? Or will Philip finally accept Christ so Kelsey can allow herself to love him again?
