Home Sweet Home

Victoria Tremont is tired. After years of maintaining a busy, surface-level social life, she realizes that something is missing: a real connection—someone who sees beyond her charming exterior and falls in love with her true self. Although she’s always been the center of attention and her flirtations rarely miss their mark, she’s starting to feel empty amid the noise of parties and shallow conversations.

Everything changes on an ordinary day at the café where she works, when a man walks in—different from anyone she’s ever met. Handsome and reserved, he doesn’t respond to her charms the way most men do. His indifference leaves her puzzled, but it also sparks her curiosity. Who is this man who won’t fall at her feet? She soon learns that he runs a ministry that builds affordable housing for people in need—a noble mission rooted in faith and service.

Intrigued and determined to catch his attention, Victoria comes up with a new plan: she’ll volunteer for his organization. It doesn’t matter that she’s not religious or that she’s never really set foot in a church with conviction. To her, pretending to be a “church person” isn’t so different from pretending to like football or a guy’s friends—something she’s done plenty of times before to win someone over.
