About Married by Easter:
What happens when a desperate man seeks a 21st century marriage of convenience?
Chloe Wilkes’s brother
signs her up on Rent-a-Bride as a joke, but when Nigel's details end up in her
inbox, she decides to get her own back, and reply.
Neither expects to fall in
love with an arrangement that was meant to be temporary.
Excerpt:
Another
email arrived. Chloe moved the mouse to delete, but instead opened it. She
sighed. “Hello, Chloe. My name is Nigel. I read your profile and am contacting
you as we are both Christians and have a lot of other things in common. I find
myself in a bit of a fix and am hoping we can come to a mutually beneficial
agreement. I’ve attached a picture of myself and hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully, Nigel Turner.” The email ended with a verse. The joy of the
Lord is my strength. Nehemiah 8:10.
She
scrolled down the page and looked at the photo.
“Wow.”
Close
cropped wavy brown hair, a neat trimmed beard and the most amazing brown eyes
she had ever seen. He wore a grey suit and brown tie with a bright white button
down shirt. She picked up the bottle of water on the desk and drained it. Be
still my heart, the bloke is a hunk. And a Christian.
But
still a bloke nonetheless. How did she know he wasn’t a creep like the other emails
she’d received?
She
took a deep breath. She probably shouldn’t do this, but she was going to reply.
“Hello, Nigel. I don’t make it a habit to advertise on sites like this, and I
have no desire for a mutually beneficial anything with anyone. Especially when
I know next to nothing about you. This is real life, not some trashy romance
novel and a casual hook up.” She hit send.

About the Author:
Clare is a British author. She lives in a
small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she married in
1992, their three children, and unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly the black
cat. They have recently been joined by Hedwig and Sirius the guinea pigs. Clare
is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby interesting at times
as it doesn’t matter who wins.
Writing from an early childhood and
encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through
fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic
mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing,
she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the
occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a
couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of
them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent
ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand
written.
She has been a Christian for more than half
her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.
She can be found at:
She also has a newsletter. You can sign up
for it HERE. Your email never gets
passed on, and you won’t be inundated with mail either. It’s four maybe five
times a year.
Thank you so much for this :)
