Dare to Love My Grumpy Boss


Book Description

All's fair in love and dares unless your friends dare you to find your Marriage Match. I met the perfect guy aka Mr. Right. Too bad he worked for a rival company on the other side of the country. And saying we'd met is a bit of a stretch. More like we had a string of flirty email exchanges. However, I can't say no to a dare...or our digital chats. When our companies merge, thankfully, I don't lose my job. The remaining (un)lucky employees are sent on a corporate wilderness survival retreat. When the bus leaves me behind with Mr. Wrong, it's certain disaster until I discover his identity. No way. Shaw Dawson worked hard to get to the top. Wronged by business partners and in relationships, he's cautious about who enters his trust triangle. He's the kind of guy to play it safe even though he feels a connection to me that's stronger than Wi-Fi. Yes way. Flirting with a guy from another company seems innocent enough until I learn he's my new (and very grumpy boss), making dating off-limits. Despite our proximity, distance grows between us. Will he redeem himself and prove that he's Mr. Right after all?




Dare to Love Your Husband Well


Book Description

What does it look like to love your husband well, according to the Bible? It doesn’t mean being a “perfect” wife. After all, if we were perfect, we wouldn’t need Jesus! And it doesn’t mean living up to every single one of your husband’s expectations—nowhere in the Bible will you find a command to give up who God created you to be in favor of who your husband wants you to be. So what does it mean? Dare to Love Your Husband Well is an interactive devotional and journal designed to lead you to a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God and with your husband. Each day includes a Bible verse, a short prayer, a journaling prompt and space for meditative writing, and a dare. That’s right, a dare! Because getting to a place of deeper intimacy can be scary—it requires vulnerability and risk taking, and probably some tough soul searching. What are the blocks keeping you from the kind of marriage God designed? Are there idols in your life that you need to lay down in order to make room for the blessings God has in store for you? Or maybe you have a vague sense of dissatisfaction that you’ve never taken the time to define, never mind figure out what to do about it. Sometimes loving your husband well means telling him what you need. Are you afraid to speak out loud what you really want from your partner and best friend? With Dare to Love Your Husband Well, you will be challenged to pray for your husband, to recognize his strengths, to voice your desires, to discover his unique needs, and to experience the kind of intimacy God intends for your marriage.

The Respect Dare


Book Description

"A long and happy marriage." It sounds like the end of a fairy tale--an illusion that modern times have exposed. And it is, if marriage depends on a constant stream of romantic emotion, or even on copious amounts of time or money. Thank the Lord, none of those are necessary. Two thousand years ago, Paul gave women the key to a successful marriage, and it can be summed up in two words: unconditional respect. It's not popular. It doesn't sound fair. It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life. The book is filled with stories of struggle and success, and many practical applications of respect that have dramatically impacted marriages. Give it forty days. Experience the intimacy God intended and discover what he can do in your heart and in your marriage when you choose to show respect his way.




One Little Dare


Book Description

Truth or dare? I always choose a dare. And no matter the dare, I always follow through. Even if it means walking down a busy street in my bathrobe and hair curlers. Or recreating that iconic When Harry Met Sally deli scene while on a crowded subway. Or hitting on a handsome stranger in a bar. And then ... marrying that stranger. While in Vegas. But the one thing I'm not supposed to do is fall in love with this man. That wasn't part of the dare. Only my heart never got that memo.




Dare to Love the Guy Next Door


Book Description

A dating dare? It could turn out to be the perfect match or it could be worse than a slap on a sunburn. Me, little ol' Paisley Jones, envisioned glitz and glamour with my movie star fiancé until a humiliating, public scandal explodes in my life like damp confetti. I escape to the family cottage with an ocean view and am not looking for love until a dare and a crazy seagull send me next door. Griffin Sanders was a late-blooming goofball, but now, as a competitive surfer and business owner, not much stops him. However, when an injury keeps him out of the water, he's stuck on dry land. Turns out his teen crush is hiding out in the neighboring cottage. That would be yours truly, but I don't recognize him at first. Big waves. Big surprise. Quirky and independent, I never quite fit in the celebrity world. I'm not sure where I belong until I get on a surfboard. But it's hard to tell if the popular surfing instructor is just another guy seeking fame and fortune, the silly kid from my childhood summers, or someone I can ride the waves with. Will we take the plunge or will our affection for one another drop like the tide?
