Mistaken Destiny. Brenner Falls Series, #4

After fourteen years away, Rick Russo never thought he'd come back to Brenner Falls-much less as a changed man.  Following years of drug addiction and life on the streets, his newfound faith has given him a second chance, including reuniting with family and a role in the church youth ministry. But first, he needs a steady job...which he finds at The Grateful Fork, a restaurant favored by locals.   Kelsey Brewster has her hands full juggling her online job and caring for her sister, Molly, while their parents serve on a nine-month mission.
The highlight of her week is taking shifts at The Grateful Fork since food is her passion. She never expects to be drawn to a man with a past like Rick's. When the owner's niece steps in to manage the restaurant, it goes downhill. As Rick and Kelsey fight to save it from her mismanagement, their friendship grows-as well as their attraction. But Rick thinks Kelsey is out of his league. Kelsey doubts her appeal since her close friends have gotten married, but she can't even get a date. After a spontaneous kiss, Rick pulls away, convinced he isn't good enough for her.
As his ministry flourishes, he's forced to face the question: has he fully accepted the grace he preaches to others? Just when Rick and Kelsey's relationship gets on track, a near-tragedy shakes Rick's confidence, leaving him questioning his calling-and his place in Kelsey's life. With the future and love on the line, can they trust that God is writing a greater story than they ever imagined?Book 4, Brenner Falls Romance SeriesGood Gifts (book 1), Custom Made (book 2), Embracing the Broken (book 3)
