She prayed for a best friend. God sent Tyler.

Growing up in the mountains of North Carolina, Amanda Jarvis and Tyler Armstrong have been inseparable since childhood. Then, just months before graduation, Tyler's heart makes a choice his plans don't allow. He's falling for his best friend.

It couldn't come at a worse time. Memories of his abusive father drive him toward one goal: becoming a Navy SEAL. Every attempt to tell Amanda how he feels goes wrong, and maybe that's for the best. He can't ask her to share a life of danger and uncertainty. She deserves better.

When Amanda's college plans fall through and a summer job in New York launches an unexpected modeling career, her world starts changing fast. And with Tyler preparing to deploy, she's about to learn what it means to watch someone she cares about run toward danger.

Season of Hope begins The Seasons Trilogy, a Christian romance of friendship and faith. All three books are available now.
