Fifty-three weeks is plenty of time to find a wife. One week to plan, fifty-two to execute.
Career-obsessed Mark is history. From now on, my heart is open and ready for a family. No more fifth wheel. No more working alone through dinner in restaurant booths.
Solo Mark is out. Family man is in. As with every challenge, I've divided the task into a step-by-step process. While on holiday in Hadley Springs, Nebraska, I drafted the twelve-month plan. I included a detailed description of what I'm looking for and a spreadsheet for the expected timeline. Project: Find-A-Wife will commence as soon as I return home to Phoenix.
It's all well and good until I join my cousins on a blizzard walk for a few donuts.
Who knew a chance encounter with a scrubs-wearing, sweet-smiling, schedule-wrecking woman would derail my life so efficiently?
To Do...
1. Review the plan
2. Drink coffee
3. Find a wife
Description:
Planning for Nickie is a contemporary Christian romance set in the fictional small town of Hadley Springs, Nebraska. This holiday romance follows two characters from very different worlds who collide during the Christmas season and discover that God may have bigger plans for them than they imagined.
Mark Brader is a disciplined and ambitious editor from Phoenix who arrives in Hadley Springs to spend the holidays with his cousins (Cordy and Diana from Waiting for Gilbert, Holidays in Hadley Springs, Book 1). His tidy life plan includes climbing the publishing ladder and finding a wife within the year. What he doesn't plan on is meeting Dr. Nicole Nickie Brader, a dedicated small-town physician with deep community ties. Despite sharing the same last name, the two are not related-a mix-up that fuels comedy throughout the book.
Beneath Mark's orderly exterior, lies a struggle with anxiety and panic. Nickie, with her medical training and compassionate nature, becomes an unexpected ally in his battle. Their relationship deepens as they navigate chaotic family gatherings, a Christmas gala, and a near-tragic car accident.
Planning for Nickie is a wholesome, inspirational story for readers who enjoy small-town charm, faith-based romance.
