The Valentine Plan
Faking an engagement… Should be a piece of (cheese)cake!
To win his parents’ competition and space to expand his cheese shop, cheesemaker Lucas Carl must get engaged before his older brother—or pretend to. Newly divorced and very pregnant, Chrysta Ball needs a supplier for her cheese-board party business. Like Lucas, she’s too goal focused to let feelings get in the way.
Author, writer
Meet Laurie
Once upon a time, many (well, not that many) years ago, a little girl with terrible handwriting had an idea for a story. She sat down to write… and she never stopped. Now a published author of essays, short stories and novels about friendship, faith, loss and above all love, Laurie Batzel continues to write... Even though her handwriting is still deeply abysmal.
A stunning story of hardship and heartbreak, Batzel’s writing is lush and lively, pulling you instantly into another time as she weaves a powerful tale of friendship, self-discovery, and love.”
Noelle Salazar, USA Today Best-selling author of THE FLIGHT GIRLS
