BLURB:
Doctoral student Hannah Wagganer has big dreams of leaving her hometown of
Glen Arbor behind to teach at a large university. That is, until Jasper
Morgan, the new mail carrier, arrives in town. Not only does he send Hannah’s
heart racing, but he creates an instant bond with her cat, Jingles.
While Hannah is busy preparing for the church’s candlelight Christmas Eve service and running the family store, she keeps bumping into Jasper—right in front of the prying eyes of the locals, who suspect there’s more going on than business as usual.But then, a series of unexpected blessings occurs that changes the town’s focus: first, an anonymous donor pays to have the church furnace repaired, and then other locals suddenly find solutions to their problems. Is it coincidental, or the work of a secret angel?

EXCERPT
“I’m not sure about this color,” Naomi, the preacher’s wife, informed Hannah. “I
look like a wad of pink chewing gum.”
“No you don’t.” Hannah tied a brown snowflake scarf around the woman’s neck. The
color brought out the richness of her dark eyes. “Lovely.” Heavy footsteps
sounded on the wooden floor behind them. Turning, she spotted Jasper coming
their way. “I’ll be right with you.”
“Take your time,” he said.
“Hmmm. I was wondering if you’d run into him yet,” Naomi said, backing into the
changing area. “I’ll take the sweater and the scarf,” she announced.
“Pastor Amos will do a double take when he sees you at the candlelight Christmas
Eve service.” She laughed, envisioning the older man letting out a low whistle
for his wife. Married forty years, they still managed to maintain an endearing
fondness for each other.
“Speaking of the service, you’re planning to help us decorate the church,
right?”
“I wouldn’t miss it,” Hannah said, strolling over to a small table where Jasper
was thumbing through a stack of woolen socks. “See anything you like?”
He lifted his gaze. “As a matter of fact, I do.”
Hannah’s chest tightened while he held her stare. Swallowing hard, she noticed
how his eyes sparkled like water when the sun danced across the waves. And how
the color of his skin resembled the sand dunes.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Cherry resides in the Mitten State with her husband of 19 years and a tabby cat
named Caden. A true Michigander, she points at the palm of her right hand when
telling people where she lives, drinks Vernors ginger ale when she’s under the
weather, wears shorts and a sweatshirt at the same time, and measures distance
in minutes, not miles. She also cheers for her favorite football team, the
Michigan Wolverines. Go Blue!
A confirmed night owl, Cherry wholeheartedly agrees with whoever said, “I could
be a morning person, if morning happened around noon.” It’s no surprise then she
prefers to write in the evening. She’s a bit of a pantser writer, meaning she
dreams up stories without using an outline, so every day is an exciting
adventure as she waits to see where the characters lead her next!
A lifelong avid reader, Cherry turned to writing as a creative outlet. Drawing
partly from her own experiences, and partly from her wild imagination, she
weaves romantic tales with a smidgen of religion and a hint of mystery. Cherry’s
first novel, The Fearful Heart, debuted in 2014, and she has never looked back.
She continues to grow as an author, learning more about the writing craft with
each book.
Author's Note: Secret Angel is regularly priced at $0.99. It’s the first book
in my Secret Series.
