Midnight Prayers

Ava Daniels lost everything: her fiancé, her business, and her confidence. Buried under debt and shame, she's adrift in her old hometown, desperately clinging to a thread of faith while doubting her purpose. Dr. Michael Reid is a trauma surgeon who saves lives daily, but the guilt over failing to save his own mother is slowly killing his spirit, replacing his faith with crippling burnout. Strong on the outside, he's hollow inside. Two broken souls, driven by separate needs, find themselves kneeling at the same altar rail at a New Year's Eve Watchnight Service. Unaware of the other, they pour out their deepest pain to God, their prayers for healing and surrender, creating an undeniable, silent covenant at the stroke of midnight. Their path to connection is slow and fragile, built on shared spiritual honesty rather than romantic fanfare. But when life deals them simultaneous, crushing blows—Ava facing a devastating legal threat, and Michael hitting a wall of soul-deep grief—they pull away, fearing their brokenness is contagious. The only place left to run is back to the altar. Midnight Prayers is a deeply moving story about the profound power of God's timing and the courage it takes to lay down control. It's a reminder that true love begins with forgiveness, and that our greatest failures can be redeemed to become our most powerful second chances. Discover how two surrendered hearts find their new beginning, not through their own strength, but through the overwhelming grace of God.
