    About this ebook

    Bridget Mathers could swear her love life ran slower than the wi-fi connection in her dentist's office, and that in and of itself was already an impressive feat. But she didn't mind. Patience, she had trained her mind to remember. God had his plans, and God had his time. Even so, sometimes she still couldn't suppress the twinge of disappointment she felt over the emptiness of her apartment when she headed home at night. At least, until Theo Noyes came around. 

    Theo came around and left Bridget hoping because hoping was all she could really afford to do as an employee of his dentist. Torn between pursuing her first chance at love, and the strictly bound regulations against dating in the office, Bridget only dares hope. The two take their chances anyways, but an unexpected accident has them both holding on, not just to each other, but also their relationship with God.

    This is a standalone short story with HEA ending.

      Ray of Hope - Contemporary Christian Romance - Rachel J. Moore

      Ray of Hope

      Chapter 1

      Bridget Mathers was obsessed with the colorful little bubbles in the fish tank. As an adult in her twenties, she was rightfully abashed at her choice in favorites, but she remained completely adamant about it. There was something delightfully charming about the innocent little glass tank, with its multitude of guppies and goldfish and plastic, waving seaweed.

      The fishes inside it were adorable – quite large and provided great entertainment for the children that came in. It was a wonderful distraction, she realized, from the daunting prospect of seeing the dentist, however friendly and inviting, Dr. Winters. They did, however, leave a messy smear of fingerprints all over it at the end of the day. But Bridget didn’t mind. She rather liked the quietness at the end of the work day, punctuated only by the hum of the air conditioner and the merry bubbling of the tank and its residents.

      The fish were currently being entertained by a chubby little five-year-old, whose mother watched with a careful eye from behind the creased pages of an Elle magazine. Children weren’t a staple to Dr. Winters’s office, but enough of them were around for there to be a small table and corner filled with plastic toys and books to be dedicated to them.

      Rachel, Bridget called out from behind her computer. A middle-aged lady stood up and walked towards the door, where Randy now stood, opening the door with his trademark smile and patient eyes. He was a good friend of Bridget’s, and one of the nicest nurses she knew. Rachel caught Bridget’s eye as she walked towards Randy, smiling as she did so. Bridget returned the favor. She knew most of the people that came into the office – she’d been working for Dr. Winters shortly after graduating from college, and had stayed with him for the past five years.

      A quiet click a short distance away from the desk signaled the arrival of another patient, and Bridget turned her attention away from Randy and Rachel to the entry door. She blinked. He was a new patient. That much she knew immediately; even if she didn’t know all of the patients by name, she knew their faces at the very least. It was one talent she prided herself on: being able to easily distinguish and remember names and faces.

      Yes, he was a new client, about late twenties – quite possibly a few years older than her - and he was attractive. Bridget felt her cheeks redden
