Tackling a topic like addiction is hard enough without adding romance and the turmoil of deciding if loving a friend is safe enough to trust your heart, too.
Addiction, comes in many forms, drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography--so many forms even shopping!
Hope Even After by Heather Greer
Loving him was never the problem.
Living with the addiction was.
In a small Illinois town, Daisy Taylor has loved her best friend
Luke Masters since high school. But when grief drove Luke away from
faith and into alcohol, Daisy learned an impossible truth: loving
someone does not mean you can save them. Hoping for more than
friendship felt risky, especially when the man she loved stopped
believing in God and in himself.
Luke once trusted faith. After devastating loss, he decided it was
nothing more than a crutch, and the bottle became his refuge. But
when he crosses a line he cannot undo, Luke is forced to confront
his addiction and begin the slow, humbling road toward
sobriety.
As Luke fights for recovery, Daisy walks a razor’s edge, loving
someone in recovery without rescuing him, supporting him without
losing herself, and guarding a heart she buried years ago. Old
feelings resurface. Faith is tested. And the future she once
mourned threatens to reappear—fragile and uncertain.
Hope Even After is a faith-filled story of second chances,
hard-earned healing, and the quiet courage it takes to trust God
when answers do not come easily. With emotional depth and a gentle
thread of romance, this novel explores boundaries, grace, and what
it means to hope wisely rather than desperately.
Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful, faith-centered novels
like Still of
Night, Where Grace
Appears, Night
Songs, and The Divine
Proverb of Streusel.
If you believe hope can survive loss,
love can grow with boundaries, and faith can rise even after
disappointment, begin this redemptive story
today.
