I’m Julie Lessman, a debut author with a passion for God and a passion for romance. Since the age of twelve, I’ve been in love with the idea of being “in love.” It happened the moment Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks.  Suddenly I was a goner, spellbound by the emotional ebb and flow of romantic relationships.

As an adult, I quickly learned that true romance is spiritual as well as physical and emotional. And one pass through the “Song of Solomon” in the Bible told me that God was the biggest romantic of them all, deeply passionate in His love for each of us. Through my love affair with Him, I have discovered that romance can transcend to another dimension where romantic passion and spiritual passion merge, creating a 3-D love story: the hero, the heroine, and the God that brings them together. I hope you enjoy my stories … and may they bring you closer to the Father’s heart.

Hugs,

Julie

• "Indeed, there's a lot of passion of all sorts in this book, from honest physical attraction to deep, abiding love, to pain given and experienced. Needless to say, this isn't one of those stories that, by the time you finish it, leaves you indifferent or unchanged of heart.

• "This is moving to the top of my list of favorite books of all time ...  What an emotional roller coaster ride! I got whiplash from the plot twists and the changing of the tides.  I loved this story. It's daringly innovative and the most fabulous debut I've ever read.  Without the love of Christ in our hearts, we are truly deprived of the most intimate love there is. This story delivers that message with such perfection, I want every woman who has not married yet to read this book!"
