Life
doesn't always go as planned; sometimes it goes better. Callie Green thought
her life was planned out until her fiance leaves her at the altar, upending her
perfect plans. She is spiraling out of control when she meets JD, a man who
offers a love she has never known, but she is too blinded to see it. When she
realizes JD is what she has been missing, she has no way to find him. All she
can do is pray and hope that God sends him back to her.

Excerpt:
What does he mean he can’t marry me? This had to be
some kind of joke. My shoulders slumped forward and my knuckles holding the
phone turned white. “That’s it? That’s all? What does this mean? What am I
supposed to tell everyone out there?” There were nearly two hundred people
waiting in the sanctuary.
Shaina lowered her head, unable to meet my eyes and
bit her lip again.
My eyes narrowed to slits as I crossed the room and
grabbed Shaina’s arm, eliciting a yelp of either surprise or pain. I didn’t
know which, and at that moment, I didn’t care. “What aren’t you telling me?”
Her eyes narrowed to slits. “There’s someone else, isn’t there? Who is it? If
you know Shaina, you have to tell me.”
When Shaina lifted her head, tears glistened in her
eyes. “I’m so sorry, Callie.”
I dropped my arm and stared at Shaina. My mouth
hung open like a barn door as I tried to understand what she was saying. She’s
sorry? What does she have to be sorry for? It’s not like her fiancĂ© left her.
It’s not like—Anger flared up in me as the realization set in. The world
flashed red, and my nostrils flared. A vice grip squeezed my heart as the
loathing flooded my body. I’ll kill her. I’ll strangle her with my bare hands.
My hands curled into fists and my lip quivered even as my words came out more
like a snarl than a statement. “You? How could you?”
