Earth To Betsy
WaterBrook Press

Can you have your (wedding) cake and eat it, too?

Betsy Blessing is about to have it all;the chance to be senior minister of Church of the Shepherd and a long-awaited first date with her best-friend-turned-love-interest, David Swenson. But David's unexpected marriage proposal and a developer's surprise offer to buy the dying downtown church building thrust Betsy into a whirlwind of decisions. Betsy's future mother-in-law, editor of Budget Bride magazine, plans to feature the nuptials in an upcoming issue, but is Betsy ready to buy her wedding gown at Goodwill and register for china at Chips-n-Dings? And not everyone at Church of the Shepherd thinks relocating to the suburbs is a great idea. Can Betsy persuade the naysayers that she can lead them to the Promised Land?

Factor in a homeless man named Booger, a demanding parishioner with a broken hip, and David's clandestine meetings with his former fiancée, and Betsy has more than she can handle. Is happily ever after out of reach for the fabulous Reverend Blessing?

Heavens To Betsy
WaterBrook Press

Blessed Are the Fabulous.

Life would be perfect for Reverend Betsy Blessing if it weren't for parishioners who keel over during her sermons, steal money from the collection box, and set her up with ex-cons. Not to mention the very inconvenient feelings she is suddenly having for her long-time friend, fellow seminarian, and verbal sparring partner, David Swenson. It isn't until Betsy is thrust into the position of senior minister for her church, however, that she discovers the real cause of her discontent: her fear of failing has become stronger than her faith in herself.

Is it really possible to keep a good woman down? Can Betsy reclaim her confidence while reconciling her clerical robe with high heels and the right shade of lipstick? A fun-loving look at a single girl's life on the other side of the altar, Heavens to Betsy is also a hilarious and joyful celebration of strong, stylish, and faithful womanhood.

And, like his wardrobe, estate, and everything else (save the children, who have run off three governesses since Christmas), this new wife must be flawless. The heiress Miss Lambton is just that. In Julian she arouses no passion, but no one ever has. That is, until he comes face-to-face iwth a certain intelligent nymph tiptoeing through his private library...

But Lucy, who knocked him unconscious at their first meeting and spurned his gallant assistance at every turn, proved an irresistible lure on both counts. Head over heels in love with the spirited hoyden, Nicholas vowed to wed the enchantress.

A Royal Match...

Marrying nobility just wasn't her idea of happily ever after... until Nicholas proved that the magic of their love would endure well beyond the stroke of midnight - it promised to cast its spell for a lifetime.
