Book excerpt: A kidnapping in the depths of the Colombian jungle. A genie with an agenda. And a rescue mission gone awry. Grace has used two of her three wishes from an ancient genie she stumbled across in an antique shop. Despite these "wishes," her life hasn’t turned out as planned. Now, she's casting her final wish—an adventure to surpass all her adventures and help her forget the loss she's suffered. But there's a reason people say 'be careful what you wish for.’ Constance is a ghost who's been portraying a genie and "granting wishes" for millennia. But her ability to see the future and gain a favorable outcome has brought heartbreaking results for Grace. Determined to bring Grace both an adventure and a second chance at happiness, Constance leads Grace into the bowels of the Colombian jungle. And into danger the genie hadn’t predicted. Wade was photographing the Amazon rainforest in hopes of using them to boost awareness about the fires, when en route back home, a Colombian detour lands him in the pit of guerrilla fighters who intend to squeeze ransom money out of him. The rescue attempt by Grace and her genie sidekick falters, leaving Wade to wonder who’s rescuing whom and if they’ll escape the jungle alive.

The Romancing the Spirit Series are clean romance tales that can be enjoyed in any order. *** “Completely entertaining, action-packed, and humor expertly infused into the short but wonderful read.” — Bookbub Reviewer “I have read all of the books in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them and this one is no exception. At [the] heart all of these books are romantic suspense stories but there is always a paranormal twist that makes them a great fun read.” —Bookbub Reviewer “I thought Gracelynn and Wade's story was a hoot. It had action, adventure, and a "genie".... The story was a bit different in a good way and widely entertaining and easy to get sucked into to see how it would end. Loved the mix of romance and paranormal.” —Bookbub Reviewers

Book excerpt: A gripping story of how an entire family, deeply enmeshed in Mormonism for thirty years, found their way out and found faith in Jesus Christ. For thirty years, Lynn Wilder, once a tenured faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation: God knew him personally. God loved him. And the Mormon Church did not offer the true gospel. Micah's conversion to Christ put the family in a tailspin. They wondered, Have we believed the wrong thing for decades? If we leave Mormonism, what does this mean for our safety, jobs, and relationships? Is Christianity all that different from Mormonism anyway? As Lynn tells her story of abandoning the deception of Mormonism to receive God's grace, she gives a rare look into Mormon culture, what it means to grow up Mormon, and why the contrasts between Mormonism and Christianity make all the difference in the world. Whether you are in the Mormon Church, are curious about Mormonism, or simply are looking for a gripping story, Unveiling Grace will strengthen your faith in the true God who loves you no matter what.
