Flames of Faith by Malory Ford

Single dad Rob Jameson’s life revolves around four things: his faith, his daughter Brynn, his job as fire chief, and the rest of his family. Throw in a rookie on the force causing problems and a whole host of issues with Brynn’s mother, and he barely has time to even consider romance.

Lexi Grant blazes into town fueled by anger over the wrongful imprisonment of her uncle and the simultaneous loss of her job and apartment. When she stomps into the police station to speak to the detective assigned to the case, she stops short at the sight of her college flame and one great heartbreak.

Rob and Lexi’s relationship burned with the feelings they had for one another, but their explosive ending aided by the failure to reckon with their own pasts nearly broke them both. Now, Lexi’s back in Magnolia Island for the foreseeable future and comes face to face with a precocious little girl with her daddy’s eyes. She doesn’t know what to think, but their hearts pull them together the same way they did in college. Can time really heal all wounds, or are there some loves you just never get over?

Flames of Faith is a second-chance story of faith, romance, family, and the beauty God can bring about from our brokenness and pain. It is the second in a five book series, with each individual book following one of the Jameson siblings in their lives and loves. There is an overarching plot line that will span the whole series, but each individual book will have its own happy and satisfying ending.
