Life doesn't always go
as planned; sometimes it goes better. Callie Green thought her life was planned
out until her fiance leaves her at the altar, upending her perfect plans. She
is spiraling out of control when she meets JD, a man who offers a love she has
never known, but she is too blinded to see it. When she realizes JD is what she
has been missing, she has no way to find him. All she can do is pray and hope
that God sends him back to her.

Excerpt:
What does he mean he can’t marry me? This had to be some
kind of joke. My shoulders slumped forward and my knuckles holding the phone
turned white. “That’s it? That’s all? What does this mean? What am I supposed
to tell everyone out there?” There were nearly two hundred people waiting in
the sanctuary.
Shaina lowered her head, unable to meet my eyes and bit her
lip again.
My eyes narrowed to slits as I crossed the room and grabbed
Shaina’s arm, eliciting a yelp of either surprise or pain. I didn’t know which,
and at that moment, I didn’t care. “What aren’t you telling me?” Her eyes
narrowed to slits. “There’s someone else, isn’t there? Who is it? If you know
Shaina, you have to tell me.”
When Shaina lifted her head, tears glistened in her eyes.
“I’m so sorry, Callie.”
I dropped my arm and stared at Shaina. My mouth hung open
like a barn door as I tried to understand what she was saying. She’s sorry?
What does she have to be sorry for? It’s not like her fiancé left her. It’s not
like—Anger flared up in me as the realization set in. The world flashed red,
and my nostrils flared. A vice grip squeezed my heart as the loathing flooded
my body. I’ll kill her. I’ll strangle her with my bare hands. My hands curled
into fists and my lip quivered even as my words came out more like a snarl than
a statement. “You? How could you?”
