Cover Reveal (and a giveaway!)

October 16, 2020 By Becky Wade

Oh, happy day! It’s time to reveal the cover for Let It Be Me, book #2 in my Misty River Romance series!

My Misty River Romance series is tied together by a group of middle school kids who were trapped underground by an earthquake while on a mission trip to El Salvador. The media broadcast their story, and for eight days Christians pleaded with God for their safety.

When a rescue team dismantled the building that had buried the kids, no engineer or architect could explain why the diagonal wall above the children held in place. According to the laws of science, the wall should have crushed them. Instead, it protected them. Believers the world over knew that God had heard their prayers and intervened. Thus the kids were dubbed the “Miracle Five”.

They’re all adults now, bound together and marked in irrefutable ways by the tragedy they survived.

There’s Natasha, married mother of two and inexpert knitter.

Genevieve, Natasha’s sister, famous Bible study author and speaker.

Sebastian, foster kid turned doctor with a chip on his shoulder and an inability to trust.

Ben, a high school science teacher who’s as easy-going as he is loyal.

Luke, convicted felon, who blames himself for his brother’s death in the earthquake.

Novel #1, Stay with Me, focused on Genevieve. In novel #2, Let It Be Me, I have the pleasure of telling Sebastian’s story.

Here’s a peek at the plot…

Former foster kid Sebastian Grant has leveraged his intelligence and hard work to become a pediatric heart surgeon. Even so, his career success has failed to fill the hole within him. When he meets high school teacher Leah Montgomery, his fast-spinning world comes to a sudden stop. He wants a chance with her, but then learns that his best friend has long had feelings for Leah, and realizes he’s not going to get that chance.

Leah’s a math prodigy who’s only ever had one big dream — to achieve a PhD. She willingly put that dream on hold to raise her brother, but now that he’s on the verge of going to college, she’s determined to avoid any obstacles in her path. Especially romance.

After Leah receives surprising results from the DNA test she submitted to a genealogy site, she asks Sebastian to help her comb through hospital records in order to uncover the secrets of her history. The more powerfully they’re drawn to one other, the more strongly Sebastian must resist, and the more Leah must admit that some things in life — like love — can’t be explained with numbers.

Here’s Let It Be Me’s cover…

Let It Be Me will release on May 4th, but you can already pre-order the paperback at Amazon or place it on your “Want to Read” shelf at Goodreads!

The below giveway is now closed. Big congrats to Danie, the winner!

    Oh but this sounds like it will be a wonderful series. I love how you came up with the series. God is so wonderful and creative that as writers there is a lot to choose from. Thank you

    • Becky Wade says

      October 16, 2020 at 7:15 am

      Lori, I started off with two families series (the Porters and the Bradfords) back-to-back. When it came time to plan this series, I wanted to find a new way to connect the characters. 🙂 I’ve really enjoyed exploring how each of them were uniquely impacted by the earthquake.

  5. Amy M. says

    October 16, 2020 at 7:15 am

    Looks good, but really, really, REALLY wish we could see more of Sebastian’s face. But that’s just the shallow male-lovin-cover part of me. 🙂

    • Becky Wade says

      October 16, 2020 at 7:20 am

      I hear you! At least, this way, you can imagine the rest of his face any way you’d like it to be…. ? 😉
