    About this ebook

    THE PASTOR'S WIFE

    Reverend Tony Karelli knew the Lord worked in mysterious ways, but this was ridiculous. Before he could correct his new congregation's mistaken assumption that he was engaged, an irrepressible old flame popped up, offering to pose as his fiancée. And Claire Waters's impromptu bargain wasn't the only thing Tony couldn't resist .

    The last thing freewheeling Claire expected was to fall for a steadfast man of the cloth. Somehow, the whole town believed they were headed for the altarand it was becoming all too easy to carry out the charade. Claire's long-term plans didn't include marriage to a ministerbut a Higher Power just might have other ideas .
