Once upon a time, I was a rebel. And I have the tattoos to prove it.

Then there was the spiked hair—the shade of which changed monthly—“colorful” language that can’t be found in your everyday sixteen-count crayon box, a pack-a-day habit, less-than-modest wardrobe, and an obsession with guitar-trashing, drum-bashing music.

Did I mention I’m also a preacher’s kid? That’s right. And like the prodigal son after whom I modeled myself, I finally saw the error of my ways and returned to the fold. Today my life is all about “lead me not into temptation.” When I’m not serving as Women’s Ministry Director at my father’s church, I’m working at Gloria’s Morning Café. I even have worthy goals, like saving enough money to buy the café, keeping my Jelly Belly habit under control, and never again hurting the people I love. No more parties. No more unsavory activities. And no more motorcycles! You’d think I was finally on the right track.

But since my dad’s replacement hired a hotshot church consultant to revive our “dying” church, things aren’t working out as planned. And now this “consultant” says I’m in need of a little reviving myself. Just who does this Maddox McCray think he is? With his curly hair that could use a good clipping, tattoo that he makes no attempt to hide, and black leather pants, the man is downright dangerous. In fact, all that’s missing is a motorcycle. Or so I thought… But if he thinks he’s going to take me for a ride on that 1298cc machine, he can think again. Harriet Bisset is a reformed woman, and she’s going to stay that way. Even if it kills me!

Then there's the enigmatic Dr. Clive Alexander.  Despite his insistence that Kate is perfect just the way she is, he wants to change her in his own way.  So, what's a single, thirty-something woman to do?  It's a tough call.  For as much effort goes into improving her appearance, even more is needed to jumpstart her "on hold" relationship with God.

STEALING ADDA 
Paperback: 462 pages 
Publisher: Navpress Publishing Group (March 5, 2006)
Genre:  Christian Romance 
ISBN: 1576839257

It had been a long time since New York Times best-selling author -- and historical romance writer extraordinaire -- Adda Sinclaire had experienced more than a fictional dose of romance, but when publisher Nick Farnsworth walks into her life, everything changes.

Life for Adda ironically reads more like a country song than a bodice-bursting, breathless affair.  For starters, she has no actual romance in her life.  That might have something to do with the fact that her husband -- correction-EX husband -- ran off with Stick Woman, whom everyone knew would never be more than a mid-list author anyway.  To add insult to injury (and another verse to the country song), he not only took their dog but gave it to her.  If this isn't enough, Adda's come down with a horrible case of writer's block and finds herself the unwitting target of a romance cover model's misdirected (and completely unreciprocated) amorous advances.  Just when she catches her breath -- and quite possibly the eye of a certain fabulously good-looking man -- her arch-nemesis gives the pot one final stir.
