Longing: A sweet, contemporary Christian romance
About this audiobook
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes the next chapter in Bailey Flanigan's journey--a story of love, longing, and the choices that shape our hearts.
After months of silence from Cody Coleman, Bailey Flanigan begins to spend more and more time with her Hollywood co-star Brandon Paul. Nights on the town in New York City and long talks on the balcony of Brandon's Malibu Beach home make Bailey dizzy with new feelings and cause her to wonder if her days with Cody are over forever.
Meanwhile, Cody's work coaching a small-town football team has brought him and his players national attention. In the midst of the celebration and success, Cody finds himself much closer to a woman who seems to better understand him and his new life.
Despite the distance and the new people in their lives, neither Bailey nor Cody can fully let go of what they once shared. But when tragedy strikes, will it be the catalyst that finally brings them back together--or the moment that proves some love stories are never meant to be?
Perfect for fans of contemporary Christian romance, this novel includes discussion questions for book clubs.
Longing is the third book in the beloved Bailey Flanigan series, featuring members of the popular Baxter family from Kingsbury's Redemption series, now streaming online.
