Fault Lines: coming February 9th, 2027 (eBook, KU, paperback, audio).

By Jordan Rolsma, Ph.D.

Not every fault line stays buried.

Ivy O’Malley thought she’d left Mercury Ridge behind for good.

After a traumatic brain injury altered the course of her life, she built a career across the country, determined to keep moving forward. When a sudden layoff leaves her with few options, a short-term contract coordinating the expansion of the BetterBrain TBI Center in her hometown, of all places, becomes an offer she can’t afford to refuse.

Ivy’s return to Mercury Ridge threatens to shatter the new reality she fought so hard to construct, especially when she discovers the project’s lead architect is Caleb Morrison, her high school sweetheart. Caleb offers Ivy a second chance at a story they never got to finish, but the past has plans of its own, and the ground beneath them isn’t as steady as it seems.

Set in a small town on the edge of change, Fault Lines explores the cost of love when old secrets resurface and the courage to rebuild in faith after every foundation has been shaken.
