There is redemption waiting in Pistacia Hills.
From the award-winning author of The Sweet Experiment comes a sequel with even more drama-and an even more satisfying redemptive ending.
Alyssa's new relationship status-gasp! fiancée!-has her reevaluating her set of principles surrounding love and sex. Finding that her flirtatious, noncommittal habits are no longer compatible with her long-term goals, she begins to confront demons from her past. Alyssa's struggle with lust and temptation takes her where she never intended to go-until losing everything causes her to look elsewhere for meaning.
A surprising interaction with a lady from Payton's church introduces Alyssa to a new way of seeing and living life, and she finds herself being pursued by the very same Hound of Heaven that claimed her best friend during their junior year. And this God has surprising plans for her . . . plans to restore what Alyssa thought she had lost forever.
Lovers of a good redemption story will wince, groan, ache, laugh, and cry happy tears as they see the truth of the Gospel come alive in this second installment in the Redemption in Pistacia Hills series.

Alyssa Holmes has a reputation . . . Yes, that kind of reputation. At least, she did, until she swore to herself to put it all behind her when she met the One. Now, she's making plans for a future with Wyatt Vanderzanden, the greatest-and most gorgeous-guy she's ever met. Okay, maybe she still parties just a little. But her history of hooking up with strangers? That's over for good.
There's just one problem. The summer before their senior year, Wyatt has been going to church. And he's got some strange new ideas. And these ideas are driving a wedge between them. When tragedy strikes, Alyssa is left wondering if their relationship is strong enough to survive. These doubts, combined with unexpected chemistry with a couple of guys who are absolutely off-limits, push Alyssa to the edge.
Once she finds herself crossing the line, Alyssa turns to the last place she expected to find strength and hope, as well as something she never thought she would want . . .
To be made new.
