The loyal one
(Book)

"The New York Times bestselling author of the Walnut Creek series crafts a moving and evocative novel of secrets, friendship, and second chances--perfect for fans of Kathleen Fuller and Beth Wiseman." When Katie Steury hires Harley Lambright to remodel her rundown house into a bed-and-breakfast, she does so with trepidation. Though they are longtime friends, they've recently had a rocky relationship, thanks to her being partly responsible for his latest breakup. But while they may not always get along, she needs someone to trust with her secrets, and Harley is nothing if not trustworthy. Katie has always reminded Harley of a bright hummingbird--she moves a mile a minute, and she possesses a very sharp beak. He's hesitant to accept the job because of his history with Katie. But when he realizes that Katie's been hiding her mother's hoarding, he agrees to help because it's clear she needs someone on her side. Both soon discover that clearing the debris in an old house can lead to some cleanup in their lives, too. As the house gets a second chance, so does their relationship. Now all they have to do is open their hearts--and pray that their new bond will stand the test of time. --,Provided by publisher.
