Finding Hope through Love’s Lost Star

Finding Hope through Love’s Lost Star by guest blogger Caitlin M. Smith

The past can be a pesky fly, relentlessly buzzing in our ears. It tries to define us, claiming that we can never escape the people we once were. We can’t start fresh, and we can never be free from mistakes we’ve made.

This is what Cecelia Burbin [Cece] experiences in my debut romantic suspense novel, Love’s Lost Star. Cece’s life was one of abuse, pain, and crime until the day that everything changed. In this inspirational story, Cece’s past comes back to haunt her, interrupting the joy of her new life. The timing of this interruption couldn’t be worse: the night before her wedding.

Check out the book blurb below:

Cece Burbin thought she knew what love was—people using you to get what they wanted. Until she met Jason Porter. But on what should have been the happiest day of their lives, Cece wakes up on a riverbank cold, alone, and in pain. After realizing she lost her voice, Cece becomes desperate to find a way to communicate with someone that she needs help. Freeing herself, she sets off in search of the only man she has truly loved. But as she struggles to find her way back home, her past quickly begins to creep back. The gang she thought she had left behind was never that far away, and the crimes she has committed are coming back to haunt her. Can God truly love and forgive her for all she has done?

Jason is just as frantic to find his missing bride. But when he receives a note saying she left him for another man, his world is shattered. How had he missed her change of heart? Jason struggles to trust God in this heartbreak, battling uncertainty about the future he thought he had. But when he meets a strange woman who claims to be a private investigator, he discovers a clue that could change everything. Unaware that time is running out, the abandoned bridegroom sets off in search of love’s lost star.

Love’s Lost Star is a story of shame, forgiveness, and God’s unconditional love. It is one of fresh starts and new beginnings. If you’re looking for hope, or are feeling like you’ll never break free from your past, I encourage you to pick up Love’s Lost Star. A fresh start is possible, and it can begin today.
