Divine An Offbeat Romantic Comedy

Divine Shadwell’s love life is moving slower than dial-up Internet. She hasn’t had a date in years. Look up the word single in the dictionary and you might come across her name. With only her romance novels and a relentless inner voice keeping her company, her chances of ever being happy seem hopeless … until a handsome stranger in the neighborhood catches her eye.

Watching him jog past her home becomes a daily obsession. Peeking through his bedroom window turns into a midnight tonic. Now Divine is saying goodbye to her loneliness, about to do something she’s never done before-ask a man out on a date.

Dan Keller was born and raised in the small university town where Divine teaches. He’s intelligent, charming, and drop-dead gorgeous, igniting a spark in Divine’s heart. But as their relationship heats up, she starts to wonder if he’s too good to be true.

There must be something wrong with him, right?
Is he married? A serial killer? A passive-aggressive jerk?
What is it?

Divine is convinced Dan has skeletons in his closet, dark secrets more terrifying than her outdated clothes. But what about her? How much baggage is she carrying?

Can Divine survive family shenanigans, a bullying colleague, students from hell, bird attacks, accusations of murder, a tree fort confessional, ultra-rich ice cream, strange hobbies, and kinky secrets in order to find real and lasting love?

Or, on top of everything else, will self-sabotage ruin her happily ever after?
