Can a wager to find a wife turn into a true love match?

Entered into a wager that he can wed within a week, Captain Alex Bancroft pursues the first pretty woman he meets: Miss Emma Washer. Their courtship proceeds at a furious pace, including a dalliance that might ruin them both. Before it can, Alex proposes and is stunned when Emma agrees to marry him. Alex desperately tries to keep word of the wager from his new wife, not knowing Emma has secrets of her own to keep.

As passion erupts between the newly wed pair, the circumstances of Emma’s past threaten to tear them asunder. Alex’s regiment is directed to sail to a place Emma dares not go.

She refuses to accompany him, leaving Alex with a devastating choice: leave England to fulfil duty to Queen and country or stay and revel in his newfound love for his wife?

 

Read an Excerpt

As soon as they reached the flowered arbor, Emma ducked into its shadowy depths. Its

coolness came as a welcomed surprise and the perfume of the overhanging blooms made her

head spin with the heavy scent. Alex held the swing and she sank onto it gratefully. Between the

heat without, the sudden coolness within, the intense sweetness of the flowers, and Alex’s

presence, her head had begun to spin. She glanced up at him and patted the seat by her. “Will

you sit beside me?”

“In a moment, perhaps.” He strode to the edge of the bower and peered down the path they’d

just taken. His head moved back and forth as he scanned the garden, then apparently satisfied

with what he saw, Alex turned back to her. “Good. It seems we are very much alone.”

Emma’s eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat as he dropped gracefully to one knee

and took her hand.

“We have known one another for only a matter of days, Emma, but I believe you to be the

loveliest woman of my acquaintance. Sweet, kind, beautiful…” He grinned. “And the tiniest bit

naughty, making you the perfect woman for me.”

Gazing into his deep blue eyes staring so intently at her, Emma could scarcely breathe beyond

little hitching gasps. Was this real? Was she about to hear the question she’d longed to answer

ever since seeing him…was it only three days ago? Her hands trembled in his grip. Dear God,

don’t let her faint.

Excerpt

Copyright 2022 Tricia T. LaRochelle

I’d never seen Scott so nervous. I’d seen him upset, angry, worried, and shocked—heck, I’d even seen him depressed—but never nervous. Not fun nervous, anyway. He sucked in a breath and began. “Before I met you, I had no idea what being in love was like. I thought I knew, but I didn’t have a clue. Being with you has taught me so much these past few years. Not only are you the most gorgeous creature I have ever laid eyes on …” He smirked, his eyes dancing with erotic thoughts, something I saw whenever he was “in the mood,” which was pretty much all the time. “And sexy as hell, but you are braver than anyone I’ve ever known.” A shadow fell over his face. “On top of that, and even after all you have been through, you still have the biggest heart. Being with you makes me want to be a better person.” He shook his head and exhaled. “I find myself imagining things that I never thought I’d ever want.” “Like what?” The words tumbled out of my mouth like a five-year-old with no self-control. The corners of his luscious lips twitched upward. “Well, for starters … a house … with kids … a dog. The thought of you mothering my children someday makes me believe that dreams can come true.” He looked down for a moment and shook his head again before pinning my gaze with his vibrant blue eyes. “I realize you’re too good for me. And I also know that I don’t deserve you, but fuck if that’s going to stop me from asking you the most important question of my life.” He inched closer, his irises locking me in place, his voice low and imploring. “After we graduate next spring, Sara Browne, will you do me the honor of being my wife?” My eyes welling with tears, I leaned forward and fell into his big, burly arms, his musky scent welcoming and his lips tapping tiny kisses against my head and cheek. “Of course, I will. I can’t imagine anyone else as my husband or the father of my children. So, yes, yes, yes,” I said, giddy and slightly dizzy from the emotions swirling through my head, my heart, and every cell of my body.

NBTM: To Listen of the Lord's Jesus Christ Voice

 

GENRE: Spirituality 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

BLURB:

My encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, came with his all plans, instructions,

and directions about this project. It is all perfect for me. Says the Lord, "You will write a book

from your journal." The Lord says, "I can't wait to have people get that book." The Lord wants to

reach out to people around the globe, to return to him, with repentance, and believe and accept

him by faith in order to be saved by his grace and mercy, that the Lord Jesus is a true living

God, and his spirit live within us. The Lord said, "This book, I will make it happen, and it will be

done."

My childhood has been very difficult, not knowing what my future holds in life. Almighty God

gave me guidance, and he allowed me to do what I needed to do according to my plan in life.

But not with God's plan. Living in Australia has given me opportunity to achieve my goal in life.

When I reached the point of perception in life, the Lord Jesus Christ gave me a free will, which I

should follow. The worldly living is only for today and now, or I can choose to follow Christ for

eternal life after earth with rewards in heaven. The breath of the Almighty gives me life, and new

creation.

Isaiah 55: 9: "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts." I live in Christ right now, I don't make decision for myself,

I consult the Lord Jesus and depend on him for what the Holy Spirit wants me to do. To glorify

the Lord our heavenly Father, amen!

Such as Behold I am coming soon! just a matter of time! keep looking up! be ready for a

wedding banquet is being prepared for his people! It won't be long now! Anyone makes sure

you don't miss it! The Lord Jesus is waiting for the last souls. But won't be forever! because

there's a time due!

Decide now, tomorrow will be too late.

Excerpt:

MY LOST SOUL

First, I would like to give you a bit of a background about myself. I was born in a poor family in

Ozamis City, Philippines. My mother was a Catholic believer. I am the oldest in the family. I

have five sisters and three brothers; my father was also a Catholic. Our house was next to a

chapel in this village. All my siblings, our whole family, was brought up Catholic. My mother

believed a ritual, spiritual belief that whoever of us in the family was sick, she would call her

uncle to treat the sickness. When I was sick, my mother advised a massage to manipulate

dislocated bone in the arm, or in the foot—stuff like that. Then it was healed. When my younger

sisters were ill, my mother’s uncle did these food offerings. He normally brought the food

outside the house, and right there he did a spiritual ritual somewhere in a quiet place, for about

an hour. Then, when he finished performing the offerings, he would bring the food back inside

our house for us to eat. I was only nine years old at that time. My mother taught me to attend a

festival called Santo Niño in Clarin, one of the provinces in Ozamiz, where they celebrate every

year. My mother believed it was a good thing to be involved in. As a child I did not know what it

meant, what I was doing, or why—only that my mother had told me to do it. During childhood I

counted the number of days my mother went to church, and I wanted to go to every Sunday.

However, we were not allowed to leave the house on Sundays, even to go to church. All my

siblings were involved in making rice cakes—that was our parents’ business back then. We

made them and sold in the market, in order to survive, to put food on the table for our family
