Barnes & Noble sent me an email a few weeks back containing bite-sized summaries of books so that I could “speed date” them to decide which one was a fit for me and my current reading mood. Isn’t that a darling idea? Speed dating books sounded like my kind of speed dating.
I was inspired. So, over on Instagram, I’ve been providing super short summaries (10 words or less) of several of my novels. Here they are! Tiny plot snapshots.

Stay with Me: Genevieve investigates her parents’ secret while hiding her own secret.
Let It Be Me: Doctor Sebastian helps Leah uncover the facts of her birth.
Turn to Me: Luke protects Finley while they chase down treasure hunt clues.

True to You: Hero asks bookish genealogist to help find his birth mother.
Falling for You: Amateur sleuths (NFL star and model) research missing persons case.
Sweet on You: Untangling a family mystery causes friends to admit their love.

Undeniably Yours: Heiress falls for the humble cowboy who runs her ranch.
Meant to Be Mine: Heroine is betrayed by her crush, so keeps pregnancy secret.
A Love Like Ours: Injured hero has always loved his childhood friend.
Her One and Only: Female bodyguard meets her match in NFL client.
Which of those novels sounds like it might be “the one” for you? I challenge you to summarize a book you’ve read or written in the comments in 10 words or less!

I love this idea. I picked my latest release, An Unexpected Christmas Gift. Issues at her B&B lead Bree to her happily ever after.
That sounds like a wonderful Christmas story, Janetta!
My latest read, The Peasant King: God uses Jemmah and Asher and their talents for His purpose (and His glory).
Well done!
Writing: Modern woman portals to alternate world where seeing Angels is honored.
Oooh! That’s intriguing, Susan.
