Mistletoe Mission by Stacey Weeks


Mistletoe Mission / Stacey Weeks
Book two set in Mistletoe Meadows.

Blurb:

While her own relationships always end up doomed, Emily Colt is still determined to create happily-ever-afters through her wedding and event planning business. In hopes of expanding, she enters her latest project--staging the Christmas wedding of the year--into a town-wide contest. But between crossing paths with the first man to break her heart and dodging a saboteur, she doubts success is within her grasp.

Jilted pastor, Luca Wilson, fled to the mission field to escape a broken heart. All the hurt rushes back when he returns home to officiate his cousin's wedding, and he finds Emily--the girl to whom he once promised forever--organizing the celebration. 

Despite Luca's lost faith in love, their unforeseen reunion rekindles a spark, and Luca vows to help Emily save her struggling business. But to succeed, they will have to learn what it means to trust each other and believe in the God of Christmas miracles.

Extract:

Luca Wilson hesitated on the porch steps of Mistletoe Manor. Ever since Stephanie had broken off their engagement to marry her high school sweetheart, he’d avoided everything wedding related. But right now, Luca had nothing on his calendar except his cousin’s wedding, and the irony rubbed him raw. The only job for this wannabe pastor who had lost faith in romance was to perform a wedding ceremony for two lovebirds. Fantastic.
As he lifted his hand to knock, angry voices drifted out. They were arguing about — flowers? He leaned in, so intent on listening, that the heavy footsteps leading up to the door failed to register until it was too late.
The door opened, and Luca fell in.
He landed on his knees. Hard.
“Luca!”
Luca’s knee throbbed. He shifted, planting the sole of one foot on the ground so he could hoist himself up. As he lifted his head, he froze. Emily, the first girl he ever loved, the girl to whom he once promised forever, stood in front of him, pale-faced and trembling.
“This s the minister you secured?” A fussy woman with hair piled high and too much make-up glared down at him. “What kind of wedding planner did I hire?”
“Hey,” Travis laughed. “Down on one knee like that, it looks like you’re about to propo—"
Luca leaped up and silenced Travis with a glare.
Emily turned away, but not before a look of hurt flashed in her dark eyes.
His hypocrisy slammed into his gut like a fist. All these months he had been angry that Steph had broken her promise to him, but long before that he had broken his promise to Emily in a similar fashion. It didn’t matter that the circumstances had differed. The outcome had been the same.
Emily cleared her throat as she tucked a stray chunk of dark hair around her ear. She focused her attention on Alice. “I had nothing to do with hiring Luca.”


Freebie:
As a special bonus, I’ve written a free short story that takes place in the summer months between book one (Mistletoe Melody) and book two (Mistletoe Mission). It’s called Under the Summer Mistletoe
