Today we welcome Pelican Book Group Author, Clare Revell with another of her many fascinating titles, Fairytale at Headly Cross a Christmas Extravaganza title that is on SALE for only $0.99!!
Christmas is a busy time in the
church calendar, and Pastor Carson Armitage is still trying to find his feet in
his first job as an ordained minister. When he decides to organize a nativity
for Christmas Eve, he employs the help of Maggie Turner, Sunday school teacher
extraordinaire. She’s dedicated, smart and beautiful and Carson finds himself
falling for her. But when his past comes back to haunt him in a big way,
Christmas may not be so merry.
Can the past be laid to rest? Or
is happily ever after only a fairytale?
Extract:
Carson headed across the hall to
the lady that Trudi had pointed out. Too late he realized he didn’t know if she
were a Miss or a Mrs. And after last time, he wasn’t going to call anyone Ms.
Well, whatever her title, she was a stunning woman. Perhaps she was a little on
the willowy side, but with curves in all the right places.
She looked familiar. He’d seen
her before. Well, obviously. In church on a Sunday he chided himself.
Carson sneaked a look at her left
hand as she draped her coat over the back of a chair. “Miss Turner?”
She turned and looked at him.
“Yes?”
He held out a hand, her voice
familiar, but he was sure he hadn’t spoken to her before today. “I’m Carson
Armitage. I understand you organize and teach the Sunday School classes for the
children.”
Her eyes flickered for a moment.
He could almost see her mind whirling as if trying to place him. Just like the
way his mind was trying to work out where he’d seen and heard her before. And
it wasn’t from church either. It was somewhere else.
“Yes, I do. It means missing the
service each Sunday morning, but I try to make the evening ones.”
“That’s good to hear.” He paused.
“This is going to sound really corny, but have we met?”
“You have a dog,” she said
absently. “I’ve seen you in the park. You’re Mr. Border Collie.”
Of course. The blonde woman who
was so upset earlier that afternoon. “Miss Sheltie. But it’s more than that.
I’m sure I’ve heard your voice before. Have we spoken on the phone or something
like that?”
His voice died in his throat.
That was it.
Color flooded her face. Had she
made the connection at the same instant he had? “Oh, no. Please tell me I
didn’t ring you this afternoon by mistake.”
“I wish I could, but, yes, I’m
afraid you rang the church office and I answered the phone.”
