Falling again for your first love, this time for keeps... As a mere assistant to a bestselling author, Olivia McLaughlin has yet to live up to the Most Likely To Succeed label given to her in high school. But now, this small-town Texas girl has a chance to prove herself by pulling off an extravagant St. Patrick's Day garden party in Houston. If she succeeds, she'll be promoted to business manager for her boss's multi-million dollar publishing empire. Unfortunately, Olivia only has seven days to organize the event, and the garden looks like the set from a horror movie. And worse, the sexy landscape designer her boss hires to help is none other than Cody Kavanaugh, Olivia's high school boyfriend. The one she ran out on the day after graduation. But her hormones don't realize it's been years, and they light up as if those steamy teenage sessions in Cody's truck were yesterday. From the way he's looking at her, it's obvious Cody feels the same. But physical is all they can indulge in because Olivia is an ambitious, big-city career girl while Cody is still a laid-back, small-town guy. Now, Olivia must decide which she can't live without--the job that will make her a success or the man offering her a second chance at love. NOVELLA - approximately 33,000 words

Most people have prayed for something or someone in earnest, seeking God’s will, only to be left confused by God’s response. Sometimes we ask, “Why would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?” In Amazed and Confused, Heather Zempel tackles this question head-on by exploring the book of Habakkuk. When the prophet Habakkuk prayed that God would bring change to the backsliding nation of Israel, this issue came to the forefront. Habakkuk begged God for revival and that He would turn the hearts of faithless people back to Him. God’s answer to Habakkuk was, “Take a look at the nations and watch what happens! You will be shocked and amazed” (1:5, The Voice). The vision God gave Habakkuk was one of warfare and exile. How do you respond when God answers your prayers in a way that seems out of line with his character and promises? Amazed and Confused proceeds systematically through the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet’s prayer, God’s response, and the prophet’s journey from confusion to worship. This interactive Bible study is the perfect choice for those who are hurting and confused about God’s responses to their prayers. Features include: Helpful guidance on a question without an easy answer Practical tools for studying the Minor Prophets Easy-to-understand, accessible language
