Finding Mr. Write

2014

Jeremiah Jacobs moved to the Ozarks for a fresh start. He knows no one and has no plans to get romantically involved with anyone. Ever. He’s already had his heart ripped out once and once is enough. Besides he has contractual obligations that prevent him from talking about work - and what woman would want to be involved with a man who has to keep his job a secret? When he attends his first local writers’ group meeting, he finds the leader so intriguing, his instant attraction to her threatens to complicate his currently uncomplicated life. Dorrie Miller has never been good enough. Not for her father or any of the guys she’s dated in the past. She’s pushed beyond her father’s disapproval to have a good career while pursuing her dream of becoming a published novelist. The Christian Authors Network – Dedicated to Inspirational Distinction, or CANDID, is hosting their annual conference in Indianapolis and who’s rumored to be in attendance? The super reclusive, super-star author, Mya Elizabeth Linscott. The hunky new member of her local CANDID group, Jeremiah, wants to carpool to Indy. Dorrie can handle not making a fool of herself for eight hours each way. Right? But she never imagined doing a favor for someone during the conference would leave her accidentally married to the gorgeous guy she barely knows. How will she get out of this mess, married to a near stranger? Does she want to? Will her insecurities and Jeremiah’s secrets tear them apart? Or can she trust that, all along, God’s been helping her with Finding Mr. Write?

Finally Mr. Write

2014

Eighteen months. That's how long 30-year-old Josh Wilson has to get married. He's been widowed less than a week, but Bo Jamison, Josh's late father-in-law, tied his inheritance to his marital status. Josh would be fine without Bo's money, but failing to meet the stipulations means Bo's wife and Josh's daughter get nothing. And Josh can't live with that. Stephanie Jamison is only twenty, but her blog on purity is extremely popular. She'd planned to move in with her best friend in Serenity Landing, but the friend eloped, leaving Stephanie with no place to go. The nanny job offered by her great-uncle right before his death seemed to be the perfect solution. Until she found out she'd be living two rooms down from the boy she used to have a crush on. Josh barely remembers the girl who fell off the stage at drama camp. Though he's fairly sure Bo was trying to set him up with Stephanie, he has no choice but to accept her help. Despite his late father-in-law's interference, it's too soon to move on - and Stephanie is much too young. Or he's much too old. Or both. Besides, he has the Serenity Landing Comedy Club to save. When circumstances spiral out of control, they have two choices - get married or lose everything. On the line are Stephanie's blogging job she loves and the inheritance Josh needs for his mother-in-law. It's the only way he can keep the club going and his employees paid. They grow closer, but will they ever believe he's Finally Mr. Write?
