The Billionaire's Gift (The Billionaire Club #5)


Johanna Evelyn - 2020
    Can they both put their trust in God’s timing? Joshua Banks has never been on a second date in his life. The examples he grew up with caused him to close his heart to anything resembling a relationship. But when his meddling friend invites a woman from her church to accompany him to a ball, he finds himself wanting more from the forced upon him blind date. All his plans go out the window when she unexpectedly kisses him. But when she tells him her reasons, she leaves him with more questions than answers. He throws caution to the wind in order to untangle her secrets only to find she’s what he needed to rebuild his faith in humanity. Kara Bell only agreed to go out with a stranger as one last act of service. She doesn’t expect the undeniable connection. Knowing a relationship between them isn’t possible, she does something out of her character. But the stolen kiss leads to hope that died long ago. Now she’s racing the clock to mend his broken spirit. But she’s afraid her attempt to bring him happiness will do the opposite. She pushes past her doubt in order to do the impossible. But can she accomplish her goals before God calls her home? Author’s Note: This story is close to my heart. The heroine in the story suffers from the same disease that has taken up residence in my own body. Kara’s story is emotional, and I hope impactful. I tried to handle the issue delicately. This is my story and although the journey might be rough, it ends happily.
