When Heidi Wei becomes his strongest supporter in his church planting ministry, how does Diego show his interest in her without her getting the wrong idea? Does she see him as potential husband material or just the pastor of their church? Heidi has suspected that Diego is sweet on her, but he seems to believe that his divine calling prevents him from acting on it. If it isn’t meant to be, she’s not going to push for it. Yet every time they are together, something happens between them. Have they moved beyond the platonic relationship they have enjoyed the last nine years to something more personal? When a crisis hits Heidi’s family, Diego has to balance pastoring his congregation and ministering to Heidi without losing either one. Falling in love while planting a new church is difficult for him to juggle. Which path is more important to him? Which one should he focus on?

Yet, love keeps knocking on her door... For readers who are looking for multiethnic diversity in contemporary Christian fiction, CHERISH YOU SO is Book 4 of the Savannah Sweethearts series of clean, wholesome multiethnic Christian romance celebrating faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ. Dante’s Dream… Dante Dupree has arrived. Living with paraplegia, he now has a state-of-the-art wheelchair to handle his disability, and a private jet to take him across the world to buy up smaller companies for the Hot Dupree global hot sauce empire. And the best news yet for his career: He has been handpicked to be the next CEO of Hot Dupree, Inc., and he’s going to inherit a fifth of the multi-billion-dollar family fortune. He has it all. At the end of an international business trip, Dante stops in Savannah for merger talks and to visit his pregnant sister. Exuberant and on top of his game, single and free, the center of attention among ladies, and recently voted one of the top ten most eligible young billionaires in the world, self-confident Dante suddenly finds himself in a predicament he cannot solve: he’s in love. But he can’t get her attention. She is not impressed at all with his accolades. Nadine’s Norms… Nadine Saylor is busy, busy, busy. Her job as a virtual assistant to clients traveling through six or seven time zones keeps her on her toes around the clock. The last thing she needs right now is Dante Dupree flinging signals and invitations at her, even though he did look handsome in his Lagerfeld tuxedo at his sister’s wedding eleven months ago. Nadine keeps telling herself that her calendar is full. There’s no room for romance. Dante can go find someone else to be his Flavor of the Month. When one of Dante’s professional problems intersects with Nadine’s personal predicament, they find themselves thrown together to sort out these chapters of their lives. Does Nadine accept Dante’s offer? Does Dante see Nadine as therapy? Or are they mistaken? Shouldn’t they find strength in Jesus Christ who saved their souls? Or has God put them together in this place for such a time as this?

Tamsyn’s Troubles… Tamsyn Pendegrast’s troubles can be summed up in one word: Ryan. Okay, three words: Ryan Ruttledge V. A nightmare to her historical preservation efforts, an enemy of her fledgling Tamsyn Tours travel agency and tour company, Ryan seems to have it all: funding, support, awards, and the deeds to half the properties on Rosa Pendegrast Lane in old town Savannah. Only three historic homes remain unsold. One of them is the Pendegrast family home where Tamsyn has lived since she was a baby. Savannah residents will not take this destruction sitting down. Tamsyn is sure of it. No way will they let Ruttledge Yamada Urquhart Commercial Properties turn that nineteenth century block into a ghastly sprawl of glass and steel sculpture. It’s Tamsyn’s duty to Savannah history and to the memory of the Pendegrast family in the area to educate that Ryan dude on why he should just leave the past alone. There. Her task is set. If only he weren’t so charming… Ryan’s Ruckus… Three more houses to buy, and the city block will belong to his commercial property company. Then he will reshape the area into a modernist architectural creation. One more award to win, and one more plaque to hang on the wall of his Atlanta office. Easy peasy, right? All he has to do is get past Tamsyn Pendegrast. That small town tour guide has a property he wants. One house. How hard can it be to get one house? If she sells her ramshackle old house, her two neighbors will follow. Why is she holding out? His company has offered Tamsyn three times the value of her property. That worn and weary Queen Anne style Victorian house isn’t going to last through the twenty-first century, anyway. Its foundation has been reinforced twice, and no amount of paint will restore it to its old glory. Tamsyn is simply holding on to a past that cannot be regained. She might as well give it up. And yet, Tamsyn’s tenacity intrigues him. It’s messing with his mind. And heart. Uh-oh. less

But Iris is back in town caring for her nieces and baby nephew, and she needs his help. Can Camden let go of their past history to help Iris with her present crisis for the sake of the children’s future well-being? * * * * * Iris’s Issues… When Iris Delaney’s five-year-old niece calls her unexpectedly to tell her that her baby brother has run out of diapers, Iris freaks out and catches an emergency cross-continental flight to Savannah to find that her estranged sister, a single mother, has abandoned three kids under the age of six for who knows how long. Desperate, Iris calls Ming Wei, one of her old friends in town, to help her track down the runaway mother. After all, Ming owns Savannah River Investigations, which has been in the news. To her surprise, Ming sends the last person she ever wants to see again in her lifetime. Camden’s Call… Ex-FBI agent and burned-out private investigator Camden La Salle is back in Savannah, and is in need of a job. Apparently stocking grocery store shelves is beyond his pay grade. Ming Wei has just the right job for him to ease back into his PI role: find the mother who has abandoned three little children. Happy to get a paycheck and healthcare, Camden discovers that the person who has put them on retainer is none other than an ex-girlfriend. Now he’s mad at Ming for setting him up. At first it’s awkward between Camden and Iris, but as things worsen for her two nieces and a baby nephew, the two adults must set aside their differences to keep the children together, feed and clothe them, and try to provide a somewhat normal life in the rundown rental house. But how can anything be normal anymore for Camden and Iris with their entire past catching up to them? less
