Mowed Over

2017

A tiny, chatty fairy artist with multicolored pastel hair. A burly, bearded landscaper who can’t get a word in edgewise. They have nothing in common, but is that enough to keep them apart? Willow Sharpe has two current relationships: her recently relocated best friend, and the fairies she draws for a living. She’s promised to create a romance for her most popular fairy, but can’t seem to make herself follow through. That changes when a local landscaper nearly mows her over, disrupting her solitary existence. Clint Kirkland doesn’t pursue relationships. Most women expect him to hold up his end of the conversation, and he’s not adept at small talk. When he meets the city slicker artist with the pastel colored hair, the only thing he knows for sure is that she makes him uncomfortable. But things get even more complicated when one of her fairy creations begins to look a lot like him. Soon the two can’t decide whether the real relationship is driving the fairy romance, or vice versa. And though they both know that opposites can attract, they have to discern whether opposites can sustain the kind of love that lasts.

Merried Off

2017

A whimsical musician who likes her situation just as it is. The world-wise single father who would like to change everything. And an extended Christmas season that might help them unwrap their common ground. Celeste Jordan has always been different – a fact that has kept her safely tucked into her familiar environment most of her life. Her job as a performance musician at a theme park keeps her busy and gives her the requisite dose of social interaction, until a man dialing the wrong phone number and a little girl’s brave act shake up her routine. Doug Kirkland’s return to Tennessee is for one reason and one reason only – his daughter, Emily. Until he gets his new life sorted out, he can’t afford to have any distractions. But after one interaction with Celeste, he knows there’s something unique about her that he can’t ignore. Soon Celeste is an integral part of Doug’s life, along with her preoccupation for Christmas. Will the two be able to overcome their differences, or will their newfound relationship fizzle when it’s time to pack up the Christmas decorations?

Author · 14 books

USA Today bestselling author Christina Coryell was born and raised in southwest Missouri, where she lives with her husband and children. She had plenty of people tell her that her degree in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing would be useless. They were probably right. Added to her dual major in History, she became the least likely candidate for nearly every career on the planet, save being a writer. That suits her just fine. Christina has written from the back hatch of an SUV, in a lawn chair while at soccer practice, in the front seat of her car, with kids climbing on her, and often with extremely loud noise in the background. At least half of her books have been written during baseball games. She believes great fiction mirrors life, and great life contains a little humor, so it's difficult not to sprinkle a little funny business throughout her work. Oh...and character is everything. She loves hearing from readers. You can find all the ways to connect with her at www.christinacoryell.com.
