He teased her Southern accent. She mocked his faith. Five years later, they're both looking for a fresh start in the same small Alaska town -- and the second chance neither of them saw coming.

Tisha McDowell fled North Carolina to outrun her mother's disappointment, the wreckage of the family farm, and the version of herself she's spent the last year trying to become. Sea kayak guide in Redemption, Alaska seemed like the perfect place to keep going. A borrowed cabin on a quiet lake. A summer with no one watching her change. A second chance at her own faith, in private, where it can't fail in front of anyone who knew her before.

Then a charter seaplane lands on her lake -- and Chase Binford steps out.

Chase. The boy from college whose Bible verses she rolled her eyes at, whose easy faith made her uncomfortable in ways she didn't have words for, whose Southern teasing she gave back with interest because letting him see what was underneath it would have undone her. Five years older now. Just as steady. Just as inconveniently in her way -- and looking at the cross necklace she didn't have the last time he saw her like he can't quite figure out what it means.

The cabin she's borrowing is the one he wants to buy. The fresh start she's chasing is the one he needs. And the longer they spend orbiting each other under the long Alaska sun, the harder it is to remember why they were ever supposed to be at war.

With her father's health failing back home and his missionary dreams unraveling around him, Tisha and Chase are about to find out whether the love they almost lost five years ago is the one that will save them now.

The Light We Almost Lost is a small-town Christian romance featuring:

• An enemies-to-lovers second-chance romance with five years of unfinished tension

• A heroine on a quiet faith journey she's never shared with anyone

• A hero whose missionary dreams are unraveling and who needs grace as much as he wants to give it

• The breathtaking Alaska wilderness, sea kayaks at sunset, and one very contested lakeside cabin

• Family loyalty, a father's failing health, and the courage to come home as someone new

• The origin story of the Binford family that sets up the Welcome to Redemption, Alaska series

Perfect for readers who love Becky Wade, Denise Hunter, Robin Lee Hatcher, Pepper Basham, and anyone who knows the most beautiful conversions happen in the company of someone who isn't trying to convert you.
