The Wedding Box
The Wedding Box
MARRIAGE
Not even a bridal-veil-stealing dog can ruin Haley and Ben’s wedding day. And when Haley’s beloved Aunt Nan gives them a gift that’s not to be opened “until your first big disagreement,” Haley is sure the box will sit gathering dust for a lifetime. After all, she and Ben are the perfect couple. Aren’t they?
MAKING UP
But life comes with stresses. Architect Ben’s career dreams are rooted in losses from his past, while bakery owner Haley has her own firmly-set – and conflicting – plans for how to get to a happy future. Each time they decide to open the gift, though, something stops them, pushing them to solve the issue themselves, and before long, the mysterious box takes on almost mythic proportions. They can’t imagine what’s inside that could fix every marital woe, but they want to save it as long as possible.
MIRACLES
What happens when a problem comes along that can’t be solved and no gift could ever fix? This one might just take believing in miracles.

Return to Destiny
Cara Collins thought her first love would last forever. But when Tyler broke her heart and left town the very next day, her world crumbled – adding another crippling loss in a long line of them. Ten years later, though, she’s worked to build a life for herself centered on her hometown of Destiny, Ohio – the community that has never let her down.
Tyler Fleet never planned to come home to Destiny, but when his career as an NFL quarterback fell apart before he ever got to prove his talent on the field, the lake house he built outside his hometown seems as good a place as any to lick his wounds. He never dreamed the girl he reluctantly left behind would come walking back into his life by accident, nor did he expect her to help him discover a new purpose in life by cajoling him to take over as the coach for his old high school football team.
Can Cara count on him to stay this time, or will he always be lured by a bigger life than the one their small town has to offer?

The only person available to help is his ex’s best friend, Suzanne. It doesn’t hurt that Suzanne is far more attractive than he ever realized, but he’s never been one to settle, and he sure isn’t going to start now.
