The Where Love Begins series launched Melissa Tagg’s career in Christian romance. Made to Last (2013) introduces Miranda Woodruff, a home renovation TV host whose public image does not match her real life, setting up a rom-com premise with faith-based themes. Here to Stay (2014) follows with a new couple in a similar small-town setting, and One December Night (2014) closes out the trilogy.

These were Tagg’s first published novels, and they established the formula she would carry through her later series: small-town settings, characters dealing with questions of identity and purpose, clean romance, and a faith element that shapes how the characters grow. Readers who pick up the Walker Family or Maple Valley books later will recognize the same sensibility at work from the very beginning.
