“Thank you, Lyn, for inviting me to talk about my debut novel, Small-Town Bachelor<\/i><\/b>. Claire Sheffield embodies many traits of today\u2019s Christian women. Loyal, generous, patient, hard-working\u2014Claire blends them all. She\u2019s trying to land her dream job as veterinary technician at the local zoo, all while fostering young otter twins and working long hours for a local vet. On top of that, her sister\u2019s wedding was ruined by a tornado and the injured best man, who happens to be gorgeous, is recovering next door.<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t know about you, but I think any single lady who has been a maid-of-honor wouldn\u2019t mind if the gorgeous, trustworthy best man moved in next door. But maybe that\u2019s just me!<\/p>\n

Claire longs to be first in a man\u2019s life, and until Reed shows up, she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s possible. Besides that, Reed lives in Chicago while she lives in Lake Endwell, Michigan. Surrounded by family and only thirty minutes from the local zoo, Claire won\u2019t consider moving, not even for Reed.<\/p>\n

\"Small-Town<\/a><\/p>\n

Still, Claire is drawn to his work ethic, his quiet faith, and his generosity in helping rebuild the town. The more time she spends with Reed, the more time she spends praying for direction. In the end, she has to make the toughest decision of her life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we cling so tightly to our vision of the future that we close ourselves off to God\u2019s blessings. I, personally, have wrestled with this, and Claire does too. When Claire surrenders to God\u2019s will, she finds out God has bigger, better plans for her than she ever imagined.<\/p>\n

We show our greatest strength when we trust God\u2019s will. As 2 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV) says, \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\u201dThanks again, Lyn, for letting me be your guest!”–Jill<\/p>\n

Small-Town Bachelor<\/i><\/b> ~<\/p>\n

A Place to Call Home<\/p>\n

When Reed Hamilton arrives in Lake Endwell for a family wedding, he expects to do his part as best man then head back to the big city. But when a tornado postpones the wedding, the town is in shambles and Reed is injured. Thankfully maid of honor Claire Sheffield offers him one of her cottages to recuperate in.<\/p>\n

Dedicated to her family and her dream job at the zoo, Claire is all about roots. She’s this city slicker’s opposite, yet as they help the town rebuild, Reed is captivated by her stunning looks and caring ways. He can’t ask Claire to leave the life she loves for him, but he also can’t imagine ever leaving her behind\u2026<\/p>\n
