A Promise at Redbud Creek: 1

She came home to settle an estate. He stayed to keep a promise. One summer will decide whether they can save the farm-and whether first love deserves a second chance. Hannah Marshall built her career rescuing troubled hotels. But after a sudden layoff sends her back to Redbud Creek, she discovers her grandparents left their struggling Tennessee farm to Hannah and her two sisters-along with a mortgage deadline, an unfinished dream, and more questions than money. Luke Bennett has spent years quietly keeping Marshall Farm standing. He knows every weak beam and weathered board. He also knows what it cost when Hannah left him ten years ago. To prove the farm can become the Christian retreat her grandparents envisioned, Hannah and Luke agree to one summer of repairs, guests, and hard decisions. As old wounds surface and a new career opportunity pulls Hannah toward another future, Luke must learn that love cannot be measured by silent sacrifice-and Hannah must decide whether staying can be a choice rather than a surrender. With foreclosure closing in, saving the farm will require more than a perfect plan. It will require the truth about what they still want from each other-and the courage to build a life with room for both of them.
