Ranked: #248 in ChickLit Josie had it all sorted out. Everything that happened in her life, happened due to a strict plan. There was no space for the Unforeseen, especially not in her vocabulary. Working a fulfilling career in a day-care center, she'd been saving all her money the past few years for her future with Dominic. Their relationship was just as ordinary as her life, part and parcel of her daily routine. But when Dominic leaves her out of the blue, none of Josie's plans seem to work out anymore. The future that has been planned in the minutest details is suddenly replaced by a blank space. Realising just how dependent on Dominic she was, Josie finds herself in a position, she never wanted to be put in. She becomes a stranger to herself, not knowing who she is or wants to be. Left without a single plan, a single dream for her future. Aimless and lost in her own life. Broken-hearted, Josie comes to the only decision that seems tolerable at this very moment: Escape. Escape from her life, escape from herself. With only a suitcase and her savings, savings wasted on her lost love, Josie starts traveling around Europe. With the help of new friends and a charming man from England, Josie slowly rediscovers herself and the meaning of love.

***WATTPAD FEATURED Nov 2017*** Penniless, hungry, and stranded at a truck stop just before Christmas, Jane Johnson has few options. So when rescue comes in the form of three Kentucky hillbilly brothers--two of them mute--she reluctantly accepts. When they hire her to paint a dilapidated nineteenth-century hotel in middle-of-nowhere Nebraska, she expects nothing more than a few days' work and a meager paycheck. Instead, as the days turn into weeks, she discovers the true renovation is taking place within the brothers--and herself. Initially drawn in by the men's unexpected kindness and droll humor, she's mystified at their reticence to discuss their past. When shocking revelations about their family entwines with her own, she questions all she knows about her history. Soon she must decide if digging for answers is worth tormenting the men who befriended her. "The Marvels of Prairie Creek" is the first installment in a romantic women's fiction serial featuring the most off-the-wall leading man you'll ever meet. If you like slow-burn romances, wry-humored men with mysterious pasts, and true-to-life characters, then you'll love Lynne Mickley's witty tale of life in a small Nebraska town. ***Iron Lace Awards 1st place winner, The Monthly Elimination Awards 1st place winner & Grand Finale winner***

Now in the midst of his best friend's wedding, would fourteen days be enough to bring her back? Or has she moved on so far, he is too late to save her from the clutches of healing?

It doesn't matter (actually it does matter a lot) whether you proceed from here or not, thank you. Time Did Not Heal. Copyright © 2017. All rights reserved.
