The Amish Author’s Christmas
November 9th, 2022. Filed under: Wednesday's Wonders.
What will happen when an undercover author stays in an Amish home to do research for her next novel—but doesn’t tell her new Amish friends she’s writing about them?
On the outside, Ivy Everwood seems to have it all—money, fame, and a seemingly successful author career. Truthfully, she’s alone and unhappy, and her career is actually about to fall apart. What Ivy needs is inspiration and a new perspective.
After seeing a brochure for Isaiah’s Amish Buggy Rides in Unity, Maine, Ivy knows instantly that’s where she wants to set her next romance novel. Ivy calls to inquire about staying with an Amish family, and she’s stunned when Isaiah Miller invites her to stay with his family.
The Millers have no idea Ivy’s agent wants her to write a novel about them. When Ivy shows up at Isaiah’s house, she doesn’t expect his parents and sisters to welcome her, treat her like family, and ask her to spend Christmas with them since she has no family of her own. As she grows closer to the family–especially Isaiah–guilt eats at her.
She doesn’t expect to feel at home for the first time in her life…or to fall in love.
Will Ivy have the courage to reveal the truth before it gets out on its own?
The Amish Author’s Christmas is a new standalone novella with its own happily ever after.
ISLAND BREEZES
What starts as a “simple” deception turns into an uncomfortable bunch of lies. You know how one lie can lead to another and multiply.
It was a great idea to jump start her flagging career. Stay with an Amish family for a couple weeks so she could write a novel about them.
There’s a problem with that. The longer she’s with the Miller family the more she begins to care about them. And the guilt grows even as she sends a few chapters to her agent.
Ivy knows she needs to tell the Millers the truth but doesn’t know how to begin. She’s especially concerned that the family will be upset and send her packing.
