A hilarious Christian romance
from debut author Kimberly Huff.
Emma Mosley is a dreamer who seems to be wishing on someone else’s star. You'd think that
meeting the love of your life would make
you wonderfully happy. The problem is that he belongs to someone else—her
boss! Then Emma is forced into working for a nasty politician, and we wonder
if she can keep it together. With a few more surprises, including a love
triangle and a shocking political scandal, Emma's world falls apart, and she
learns that sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and admit that you
need someone.
