Free to Believe

A small-town single dad romance where artistic healing, fierce second chances, and gut-deep emotion collide.

She designs fairytales for everyone but herself.
He teaches music to keep his daughter’s life on beat.
Neither expects their second chance at life to start with each other.

After her engagement implodes, wedding dress designer Emily Freeman is left stitching her life back together from scraps. Her creativity is gone. Her confidence is cracked. And the future feels like a pattern she’s too afraid to cut.

Then one unexpected phone call reignites something she thought she’d lost forever—hope.

Her family can’t guide her back to her artistic fire, so Emily sets out to rediscover it on her own. What she finds is so much more…

Jacob Madison walked away from a promising music career the moment his baby daughter was placed in his arms. Now a full-time teacher and single dad, his world revolves around keeping rhythm with a teenager who’s starting to slip out of tune.

But nothing prepares him for Emily—the poised designer with an icy shell and wildfire underneath—the woman who knocks his carefully built life offbeat with a single look.

Nothing is what it seems…

To claim the future she’s always wanted, Emily must face the two fears she’s run from her entire life—love and loss.

And she’ll have to face both while protecting the people she cares about from the hardest truth she’s ever carried.

Herself.
