Book descriptions:

My Novella: Buried Deception

Mount Vernon archaeology intern and widow Samantha Steele wants to provide for her children without assistance from anyone. Security guard and ex-cop Nick Porter is haunted by his past and keeps his heart guarded. But when they discover an artifact at Mount Vernon is a fake, Nick and Samantha need to work together, set aside their stubbornness, and rely on each other or the results could be deadly. Will Samantha relinquish her control to a man she hardly knows? Can Nick learn to trust again? And will they both allow God to excavate their hearts so they can find new love?

And a personal note from Mary…

If you enjoy Christian fiction, may I say that you will love Gina’s style! We met each other through ACFW, the American Christian Fiction Writers website, back when she was just getting her Writer…Interrupted webring started. Soon I was drafted to be a part of that, and it’s been quite a journey. Now Gina’s webring is an ezine dedicated to helping writers and authors grow in the craft and in the Lord, amidst everyday real life challenges. Gina’s been a blessing in my life as I’ve waded the ups and downs of balancing writing with homeschooling.

Tomorrow, Gina will be guest blogging here at Home-steeped Hope. She’ll share some insight she’s gained on her own journey of faith to God’s will for her life. See you then!
