Dedicated to her high schoolers with special needs, Sadie Spencer was determined to get help for her work program even if it meant she had to be creative to find a way to talk to Andrew Knight who owned a large company that would be a perfect place for her students. She bid on him in a bachelor auction and won a date with him. She was excited she would have a chance to convince him to hire one of her students. But she soon realized that God had His reasons for bringing them together.

Experience had taught Andrew that he didn't need anyone in his life, including God. Until Sadie began to show the successful businessman how much he had to offer her students. Although the walls he'd built around his heart were slowly crumbling, would he ever find the courage to make peace with God so that he could be not only Sadie's hero . . . but her husband?

Football & Lavender by Melanie D. Snitker

What does football and lavender have in common? They are both elements in my newest book, Marrying Raven. I enjoy second chance stories, and Heath and Raven's is no exception. This book was so much fun to write! 

The icing on the cake was that a photographer friend of mine, Jennifer from Jennifer Pitts Photography, took the book's cover image. It's perfect down to the beautiful bride holding a bouquet of lavender. 

Marrying Raven will release March 29th and is available for pre-order now! 

~*~

Raven Weber hates football. As if her fiancé breaking off their engagement to follow his NFL dream wasn't bad enough, her football-obsessed family only made things worse. Twelve years later, she pours everything into her job as a physical therapist assistant. Helping others never prepared Raven for the day her ex would hobble back into her life. How can she remain professional when spending time with him only reminds her of what they've lost?

The day Heath Shaw walked away from his relationship with Raven, he’d been convinced he was doing it for her. Fulfilling his father’s dream gave him the distraction he needed to get over her. Now he’s back in his hometown with weeks of physical therapy ahead of him before he can escape the past. Running into Raven was going to happen eventually, but he didn't expect her to play a vital role in his recovery. If she's got him second guessing why he left in the first place, what effect will she have on his heart? 

Her meddling family thinks this is a second chance, while Heath's father only wants to squelch what he sees as a distraction. Raven and Heath know they should walk away, but what if they're better together than they ever were apart? 

Marrying Raven is Available for Pre-Order

Gearing Up For Fall and a Recipe by Melanie D. Snitker

Temperatures are starting to fall a little here in my area of Texas. I'm surprised, to be honest, and half expect summer to make another appearance before it's all said and done. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the cool temps in the morning. It's making me look forward to cozy shirts, the smell of cinnamon in the air, and pumpkin spice cake. 

Another reason I'm excited for fall this year is the release of Fall Into Romance, a collection of ten novellas. It's been an honor to work with fellow Sweet Romance Reads authors Shanna Hatfield, Raine English, and Liwen Y. Ho, and six other wonderful authors to put together a boxed set that's guaranteed to make you smile.

Surround yourself in the romance of the autumn season with 10 heartwarming, sweet novellas from USA Today, national bestselling, and award-winning authors with a foreword by Susan Hatler, New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author.

Each story takes you inside the heart of a small town—its people—and features adorable animal friends in need of a forever home. 

Take a trip to Romance, Oregon, where falling in love has never been easier and happily-ever-after is guaranteed!

Available for Pre-order For Only $0.99!

My novella, Finding Forever in Romance, was a blast to write! Between the sweet romance, a little boy with a lot of character, and cuddly animals that made me want to adopt them myself, it's my hope that you'll come away from reading this novella with a smile on your face.

From the time he was a child, Brent Todd has helped lost pets find healing and homes. Now, he runs Romance's Finding Forever Animal Rescue. Amid the dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, and exotic animals in his care, he convinces himself he has everything he needs. Then a beautiful woman and her son volunteer to help at the shelter. Brent soon realizes he needs more than the rescue animals to fill the empty spaces in his heart and home. 

Dedicated to raising her son, Nicole Crawford views romance as a lovely idea. But between being a single mom and the pain of her past, she refuses to dwell on something so out of reach. To teach her son about helping others, they volunteer at Finding Forever on a temporary basis. But the more time she spends with Brent, the more she realizes it'll be impossible to walk away from him and the shelter with her heart intact. 

Together, maybe Brent and Nicole will discover a forever family of their own.

• Add to pumpkin mixture and mix
• Spread batter in an ungreased 15" x 10" pan
