When Plans Go Awry

Best-laid
Plans Book 1

by
Denise M. Colby

Genre:
Historical Christian Romance

Olivia Carmichael escapes her past
to become the next schoolmarm in the small ranching community of
Washton, California. Her plan? Live a quiet spinster life alone,
never to depend on anyone again.

Luke Taylor selected a
mail-order bride to help raise his two younger sisters and protect
his broken heart. His plans don’t include being responsible for the
beautiful new schoolmarm, who threatens his resolve between his need
to stay away and his need to ensure her safety.

Along the
way, Olivia’s carefully laid-out plans are challenged at every
turn, and Luke’s mail-order bride is not what he expected.

With
the help of the entire town and its wily rooster, can Luke and Olivia
learn to trust again?

Passionate
about all types of stories—whether they are from songs, theatre,
movies, or novels—Denise M. Colby loves history and constantly
finds herself contemplating how it was to live in the 1800’s.
Combining her love of learning about history, and reading, Denise
writes Christian historical romance novels. Her first novel, When
Plans Go Awry, is the first novel in her Best-laid Plans series.

Born
and raised in Northern California, Denise moved to Southern
California for college and to dance in the parades at Disneyland,
where she met her husband thirty years ago. A mother to three boys
and soon to be daughter-in-love, Denise loves to read, watch movies
with her family, sing 80’s and musical songs, tap dance, and spend
date nights with her husband at ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’.
She treasures the written word and the messages that can be conveyed
when certain words are strung together. An avid journal writer,
Denise usually can be found with a pen and notepad whenever she’s
reading God’s word.

Every
year Denise chooses a word to focus on. She shares her learnings
about that word throughout the year on the two blogs she writes for.
