Passion From The Heart Deborah Lynne

At twenty-five, Erika Arceneaux receives a substantial inheritance that allows her to follow a dream she has had since she was a teenager - to build a retirement community where senior adults can live safely and comfortably.



Erika feels certain that God is leading her to renovate an old, abandoned motel. The owner, Margaret Richardson, believes in Erika's dream and wants to sell the property to her, but her son has other plans for it.



A powerful business man, Nathaniel Richardson III, has only one motive in life and that's to make money. Over his objection, Margaret sells the property and reconstruction begins. Almost immediately the project is plagued by vandalism. It becomes clear someone is trying to sabotage Erika's dream.



Meanwhile, despite their differences, Erika and Nate find themselves drawn to each other. She can't stop thinking about him, but can she trust him? And can she justify pushing forward with her plans with danger all around?



Erika isn't like any of the women Nate has ever known. He realizes he is not only falling in love with her, but that he longs to know the God who gives her such joy. He must decide whether his love for her and his hunger for the Lord can overcome his love for power and money.
