cover of unlikely mergerI’m so excited! The newest novella compilation that I’m a part of is Unlikely Merger published by Write Integrity Press. It’s the sequel to A Dozen Apologies and The Love Boat Bachelor. Here’s the blurb and cover:

No longer needed as her father’s nurse, Mercy Lacewell attempts to step into his shoes at his acquisitions firm. That means travel, engaging strangers, and making final decisions—nothing she feels equipped to do. If her best friend has her way, Mercy will simply marry one of the single, available men she meets, but they overwhelm her. So handsome and kind. And so many. Even if she felt obliged, how could she ever choose?

Should she shove all attraction aside and focus on her father’s business, or is God warming her heart with the possibility of forever?

It’s a great story that will release in all its splendor on July 1st, free for five days. But for now, it’s not quite finished.

Why not?

Because you, the reader, get to vote for the ending that you want.

On June 8th, the chapters will start being released one at a time on Write Integrity Press. Follow the chapters and extra blog posts, tell others, and share our links. The 11 chapters will be posted one per day through Friday, June 19. Then, you have the chance to vote for your favorite bachelor.

Your favorite bachelor wins the heart of Mercy Lacewell. So go ahead and read your chapters, pick your hero, and then voting opens the morning of June 20th.

Here, on my blog, I’ll be showcasing some of the authors of Unlikely Merger as they talk about traveling, corporations, movies, and other fun topics connected with the book. The first author will be Carole Towriss and she’ll join us on June 9th so don’t miss it.smile

Take a moment and leave a comment on any of the blog posts that pertain to Unlikely Merger and on July 1st, release day, I’ll draw from the comments for one lucky winner of a $10 Amazon gift card.

A wonderful story for free, your choice of a bachelor, and a gift card.

Stay tuned.
