Romance blossoms between initially antagonistic couples in six clean, faith-filled, enemies-to-love romances! I hope you’re blessed and uplifted by these deeply emotional and ultimately heartwarming stories of men and women overcoming real-life difficulties with God’s help, discovering lasting love and deepened faith along the way!IMPERFECTLY PROVERBS 31(from Huckleberry Lake)She’s a domestic disaster caring for her twin nieces for the summer, trying hard to become a successful homemaker, with a blog to prove it. He’s a big city reporter determined to uncover the evidence her viral blog is faked. Can Ms Klutz-in-the-Kitchen transform herself to a Proverbs 31 woman in time to stop him revealing the truth, ruining everyone’s summer and their growing love?BELIEVE IN ME (from Love in Store)All a workaholic accountant wants for Christmas is for it to be over. She has good reason to hate the season, and charmers like the Hollywood actor playing celebrity Santa at the failing London department store she has the thankless job of managing. But if accepting his dare — dates showing her the joys of a London Christmas — can create enough publicity to keep the store open, she’ll do it. Even if she risks falling in love with him in the process.A MODEL BRIDE(from The Macleans and Love in Store)When she flies from L.A. to spend the holidays in Europe, volunteering at a homeless shelter isn’t part of her plan. Nor is having to travel with a grumpy, wounded Scottish photojournalist to get the Edinburgh New Year’s Eve she hoped for. Neither is looking for love, but love finds them anyway, though they know it can’t last when their plans are taking them in different directions. Can they learn in time that God’s loving purpose for their lives can’t be denied?TEAPOTS & TIARAS (from Love in Store)When their best friends’ summer wedding in London pushes a judgmental medical missionary and a bubbly shoe-aholic saleswoman together, it’s dislike at first sight. The only thing they can both agree on is that the bride and groom’s matchmaking attempts are bound to fail. Between his pride and her prejudice, there could hardly be a less likely couple. But God has a bigger plan for them than they imagine.THE REAL THING (from The Macleans)When a disabled and cynical Edinburgh author is forced to employ a look-on-the-bright-side single mother as his housekeeper, she’s too cheerful, too loud, too everything. Including distracting. Neither intends to deceive the other, but when they meet online, safe behind names that aren’t their names and photos that aren’t their photos, they’re able to be their real selves and fall in love. Can they recognise the truth before it’s too late?HIS FATHER’S SON (from Sweetapple Falls)When a former bad boy discovers the son he believed was adopted is fatherless and disabled, he’s determined to help — and regain the trust of the only woman he’s ever loved. But for the small-town single mom, his return is twelve years too late. To become the loving family he hopes they can be, she’ll need to forgive secrets from his troubled past. Can they leave old hurts behind to face the future together, or will only a crisis heal their stubborn hearts?BONUS NOVELLA – LAST CHRISTMAS (from The Blue Door)Last Christmas, they teetered on the edge of falling in love, until a misunderstanding destroyed their friendship. This year, when an emergency throws them together as volunteers at a homeless shelter, can they see beyond their past to the future God intends for them?PLEASE NOTE: the stories set in Britain use British English grammar and spelling. Though this can look wrong to American readers, it’s correct for the UK, promise! Have fun discovering the differences of our shared language rather than judging them!
