Synopsis

A modern Mail-Order-Bride type story!

Early Spring 2019 – An unexpected inheritance offers the possibility of a great future for Quinton Thomas, a divorced man with full custody of his five-year-old daughter Zinnia. It comes at the exact time when he is trying to decide whether to re-up for another three years in the army or muster out, and it seems like a message from above. He decides, along with his best friend, army pal, and now business partner, Levi Smith, and a friend from Quin’s past, to see what they can do with a broken-down old residence in his hometown, Louisville, Kentucky. However, the massive undertaking quickly becomes more than they can handle and they realize they need outside help.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati-born Angelica “AJ” Andrews, newly widowed and caring for her six-year-old son Nate, finds herself suddenly scrambling for a place for her and her little boy. With few choices and time running out, Angelica makes a quick decision to answer a help-needed ad on Craigslist regarding transforming a large, nineteenth-century home on two hundred acres along the Ohio River into a functioning bed and breakfast. She would have to relocate to Kentucky, but with her knowledge of architecture and design, and soon-to-be homeless status, the opportunity seems heaven-sent. She fires off an email, signs “AJ Andrews”, and is quickly offered the position.
God has plans to bless these two, but it will take some maneuvering to get them together as well as heal the hurts from their pasts.
Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways, using strange methods and odd instruments—like a Craigslist ad and a dilapidated old house.
You never know what might be down the road in life, do you?
If you enjoy a good, clean romance with lots of history and ties to the past, including a treasure trove of journals from an amazing matriarch, and endearing characters, with the feeling of a Hallmark movie—only with a fresh plot line—then New Love at Honey Landing is for you!
