No Leap Day this year
Celebrate anyway with a story:
Leap of Faith Day
The ninth novella in the series.
Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.
Her life a mess, EMT Belle Carlisle wants a fresh start. She's lived in Holiday a few years and likes it well enough. She's happy, mostly. 'Be Bold' is her personal aphorism, but it was never intended to include asking a man on a date.
Born and raised in Holiday, Vince Timmons is certain the prettiest EMT on the planet could never be interested in a younger man. Besides, his life is a mess. Not to mention the woman he pursued for over a year humiliated him in public. The last thing he needs is to fall for another woman who doesn't want him.
Man looks on the outward appearance and judges accordingly. God looks on the heart...

All four novellas, 9-12, are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Brain Dump
How often do you catch yourself saying, "I should ______." Don't should on yourself.
Change the way you think about things and then change how you respond based on the new thought.
It's making a difference for me.

16. Once a Cowboy (The Raffertys of Last Stand Book 3) by Justine Davis contemporary western romance. I love her characters and stories.
17. Forgotten Kisses (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Cindy Roland Anderson contemporary romance. A part of me grew impatient with the insecure heroin because she reminded me too much of my own struggle with trust. I did enjoy the story by the end.
18. The Last Christmas (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Annette Lyon contemporary romance. An unexpected tale with the blessedly expected Happily Ever After.
19. Truth or Dare (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Julie Coulter Bellon romance. Sweet romance. Loved it.
20. Holiday Bucket List (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Sarah M. Eden romance. Delightful!

6. Caroles on the Green (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Joyce DiPasterna medieval romance. I'm not sure I could like the heroin, but as I learned about her I understood her better. Loved the story.
7. A Winter's Knight (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Donna Hatch Regency romance. I love Donna Hatch's stories. This one is no exception. Delightful.
8. A Fortunate Exile (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Heather B. Moore historical romance, set in 1901. God takes what was meant for ill and creates a way to joy.
9. Redemption (Saint Squad series) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. Her books are always page turners, and I lament them being over too soon, only because I enjoy them so much. This book was one I was hoping she'd write, and she didn't disappoint.
10. Fairy Christmas (Silver Bells Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology) by Lucinda Brant Georgian (1767) romance. A sweet romance with a bit of a surprise. Delightful.

Rule #1: Stop lying, especially to yourself. Before baby became a word, the term was fetus, in Latin. Fetus = Baby It's a baby.
