A Selah Award Finalist
Joel Bennett has always known Serena Hayes as his sister’s gregarious best friend. In the three years since Lacey began college, Serena became a regular houseguest, but lately, she’s absent more than not. When Joel discovers she’s in an abusive relationship, protectiveness from within roars to life.
With only a part-time job to support her and nowhere to go, Serena fears leaving her current relationship would jeopardize her chances of graduating college. After a brutal attack leaves her no choice, she courageously moves out. On her journey toward regaining confidence, self-worth, and independence, Joel falls in beside her, encouraging her. The way he emulates Godly love and compassion draws her close—not just to him, but to the God who can satisfy her longing for love better than any man,
Attraction sizzles between them, but events from their pasts cast shadows of doubt. When the unthinkable happens, can Serena open her heart to a second chance at love, or is she destined to be alone?

“A Worthy Heart took me on an emotional journey as two wounded-but-worthy hearts found healing. But the second installment of the series held more than a happily-ever-after ending because woven within the pages was the poignant reminder of God’s relentless, unfailing love for all of us. I truly enjoyed Joel and Serena’s story all the way to the last satisfying page, and I can’t wait to see what comes next from this talented author.” ‘
