In the space of a minute, Nick Brennan learns he has a nine-year-old daughter--and that she desperately needs his help. All this time, his high school sweetheart, single mother Josie Peretti, thought he knew about their child. And that he just didn't care. About the ill little girl--or Josie, the woman he's never forgotten. But Nick made a long-ago promise never to forsake his family the way his father did. A promise he vows to make good on now...if only Josie will bless him with a second chance.

Lakeside Family

 by Lisa Jordan (3★)

This was an emotional, faith-centered story that tugged at my heart. Josie and Nick’s journey wasn’t easy, and I appreciated that the author didn’t shy away from the pain of their past while still holding space for healing. Their shared love for Hannah felt authentic and powerful, even when the romance felt secondary to the family drama. It’s a quiet story about second chances, grace, and finding your way back to love one step at a time.
