Excerpt from A Dare and a Prayer
Cover Reveal for A Dare & A Prayer!
Let me just start off by saying—this is one of my favorite books I have ever written!
Sweet mother of Job, I haven’t had this much fun writing a novel since I wrote A Passion Redeemed, Charity and Mitch’s story, which is pretty telling since Henry is their son.
Why?
Well, there are a number of reasons, but the biggest one is that it is soooo much fun taking a bad-boy womanizer with many vices to a noble and faithful man who loves only one woman and one God. And trust me—with Henry, it’s no easy feat!
Here’s the jacket blurb:
He’s a hotshot who takes up a dare.
She’s an aspiring missionary who wants to beware.
But will love become a gamble
with a dare and a prayer?
Lieutenant Henry Dennehy is a cocky and carefree fighter pilot in the Pacific Theatre of WW2, known for scoring big, both in the sky and on land. But when his buddies offer a bet he can’t refuse to turn the head of the “untouchable” nurse at 369th Station Hospital—a woman who’s shot down more flyboys than the enemy—he’s bound and determined to win. Problem is, if he wins the dare, will he lose at love?
Lieutenant Amy Leigh MacArthur was on her way to the mission field when she detoured to fight for her country instead, an Army nurse whose interest lies only in healing the wounded and teaching orphans to read. Certainly not in men, and definitely not in Henry Dennehy, the boy who ridiculed her years ago as a shy and homely teen. But when Henry pursues her and won’t take no for an answer, Amy finds a way that gives him no choice. Until, that is, love does the same for them both.
