Seven Days Don Beard

Lt. Collin McIntyre, divorced father of two, was more than ready for some time away from the stresses of firefighting. He and his brother Shane load up their families and head down south to the small community of Beach Breezes on the Alabama gulf coast for a quiet, relaxing vacation. Having hidden behind a thick shell of protection for a long time now, he's content to spend the days alone, unwilling to risk being hurt again.

But that is not meant to be.

Within an hour of stepping onto the white sand beach, his life is forever altered when his path intersects that of Maggie Montgomery, a beautiful, redheaded recluse hiding behind walls of her own making. Having left a painful past in St. Louis, the city of her birth, she's determined to live an isolated life on the coast. Turning her back on God, who she thought had deserted her, she wants to simply exist with no attachments to anyone.

But that's not meant to be either. God has bigger plans for both of them.

Follow Collin and Maggie as they travel down this road laid out before them. Can they break through their protective walls and learn to trust again? Will they even survive the week and find love?
