IF I DON'T COME HOME: A Christmas Novel of Faith, Love, and Courage

Christmas in the Holy Land was supposed to be quiet. For Paige Ellison—one of the most recognizable actresses in the world—it was meant to be a rare escape: ancient streets, sacred ground, and a few days away from cameras, expectations, and noise. Israel at Christmas felt like the one place where she could breathe again. Merrick Brenner is there to make sure she stays safe. Trained, composed, and deliberately unobtrusive, he’s used to reading environments before danger announces itself. Jerusalem feels layered but manageable. Bethlehem feels reverent. Almost peaceful. Until it doesn’t. When Paige disappears in broad daylight near Manger Square, there are no demands, no explanations, and no margin for delay. What began as a carefully planned journey becomes a race against time through a city shaped by history, politics, and unseen threats moving with precision. Merrick knows the signs. He also knows when official channels are already falling behind. As authorities hesitate and options narrow, he faces an impossible decision: wait for permission—or act before Paige is lost for good. Isolated and under calculated pressure, Paige is forced to draw on a faith she’s never had to test like this before—one that refuses to disappear even when everything familiar is stripped away. Set against the tension of Christmas in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, IF I DON’T COME HOME is a clean, emotionally rich thriller about love under pressure, courage when the cost is high, and a faith that doesn’t promise safety—but sustains hope when the world turns dark. Perfect for readers of romantic suspense, Christmas thrillers, and stories where faith is forged in action—not slogans.
