Book excerpt: A Word from the Author In a world filled with so many unanswered questions, its hard to find answers for the many questions without proper gudiance. We are yet faced with the missing piece of the puzzle trying to make it fit, yet everyone is searching. Without proper prayer and study of the scriptures, our perspective becomes confused. I have been expired by the anointing of such a great God to write this book. About twenty years ago, I wrote my first fiction novel but never published it. Today, my life has changed as I have been moved by the anointing of God to write. I have sought the Lord diligently for his will and direction for my life. Sometimes what we will is not always God's will. We make promises and never commit to them. We lose battles but never seek the definition of why we lost the battle and were never able to overcome it. You have decision in life, and choices, and for the most part, we choose which decisions we will make. As a born again believer of the Apostolic persuasion, I have been taught down through the years, and to this day I believe that the Lord has a destiny for my life, and whatever he has destined, it will come to birth. I currently attend Greater Grace Apostolic Faith Church, I thank God for all the men and women of God whom have made positive deposit into my life. The God we serve is a covenant God. What we will is not always his will... My prayer is that as you read this book, that the spirit of God will make a new manifestation in your life. I hope the spirit of love will begin flourishing in your life, and that the Glory of God may be revealed, and that you will experience a revelation from the God that made the heaven and the earth, who is the creator of this marvelous creation. It is my belief that when you read this book, it will have an inner effect on you as you allow it to minister to your spiritual man, and that it will change your life.

When Frances Bumgarten encounters a handsome stranger in her kitchen in the middle of the night, her first impulse is to wallop the scoundrel on the head with a bread paddle. And when Frankie discovers he is “The Fox,” a disarmingly arrogant purveyor of gossip among England’s aristocracy, she’s tempted to take a second swing . . . Never mind that Reynard Boulton, nephew of the Viscount Tannehill, is returning her inebriated uncle safely home. This chiseled intruder has sparked an infuriating physical sensation unlike anything the feisty Nevada silver heiress has experienced. In fact, the noblemen of London are so dull, Frankie’s sworn off marriage entirely. She will, however, help her younger sister win her own love match—even if it means secretly enlisting Reynard’s enquiring mind . . . But secrets, as Reynard knows too well, can be costly. For Frankie is yet unaware that a villainous duke is scheming to claim her—and ruin him. Soon they’re racing to uncover the truth—and fueling a passion that won’t stay hidden . . . This ebook contains bonus content on book research and a Q&A with the author! “Krahn once again strikes the perfect balance between sharp wit and sexy romance.” —Booklist “There’s nothing I love better than a fabulous romance that has more on its mind than just the central relationship. And oh boy, does this one deliver.” —Bookpage
