A Christian Romance Novella for Valentine's Day

Chef Lindsey Solberg agrees to cater the church's Valentine's Day fundraising banquet as a favor to her teen sister, but she's shocked to discover the bad boy from her high school days is now Riverbend's youth pastor. Seriously? How could he have changed that much? Nick Harrison has prayed for years for an opportunity to make amends. Now Lindsey's back in Riverbend and won't give him the time of day.

EXCERPT

Madison swept a bow, handing the package over. "Here you go, sister dear."

The paper crinkled in Lindsey's hand. Something soft, not in a box. Her name was scrawled across the package with a black marker. Bold. What could it be? And from whom?

"Open it already!" Madison rocked on the balls of her feet.

Lindsey slipped the string off the package and parted the tape along the edge. She pulled the paper back until something pink and fuzzy was revealed. She lifted it up. A pair of soft mittens? That was sweet, but where had they come from?

A piece of paper drifted to the floor, and Madison pounced then unfolded it. Her eyes widened, and she clutched the paper to her chest. "Oh, how romantic!"

The drama team didn't know what they were missing without her sister. Lindsey held her hand out until Madison relinquished the note.

The paper appeared to be from a memo pad, pink with red hearts around the edges. She raised her eyebrows. Seriously?

Dear Lindsey,
Cold hands, warm heart.
Secretly Yours.

She turned it over. Nothing. No hint of the sender.

"I bet it's from Pastor Nick."

Lindsey dipped her head to glare at her sister. "I bet it isn't." Nick Harrison wasn't a romantic kind of guy. Not the Nick she remembered, for sure. Get a girl's hopes up, then dash them. Maybe it was him. Maybe he was doing it again.
