Before
we get into the questions, here are the other things you needed:
A
Christmas Worth Billions:
The
only thing Lily wants is for her children to have a nice warm home, and to make
sure her family’s diner survives. When handsome billionaire David walks in and
leaves a rather generous tip, he not only helps her little family, he also
gives her something she hasn’t had for a long time—hope.
After
the loss of his beloved wife, David moves to a small town in New York, hoping
to escape the memories, along with the pressures of his life as the president
of the largest ad agency in the country. The last thing he expects when he
meets with his pastor is to run into the woman who will change his life
forever.
David
is willing to shower Lily with everything she needs, but Lily isn’t sure she
can handle the kindness after everything she’s dealt with in the past. Will her
bad memories keep them from being able to have a future together? Or will he be
able to convince her that love is what makes life worth living?

The bell over the door
rang, and the man from the church the night before came in. Lily’s heart
fluttered, and she considered hiding in the back, but she took a deep breath
and walked over to the counter. “Hi. What can I do for you?”
“Hey, how’s it going? I
didn’t know you work here.” He smiled.
“I own the diner, but I’m
usually in the back.” She wanted to check her hair to make sure it wasn’t a
mess, but she kept her hands on the counter. He was just another customer.
Another customer who was extremely good-looking.
He sat on the barstool.
“Ah. I guess that makes sense. Can I get a coffee and some toast?”
“White or wheat?” She
wrote down “coffee” in the notebook.
“Surprise me.” He rubbed
his hands together.
Lily smiled and went to
the kitchen to fill the order. She prepared the pieces of toast and poured his
coffee before heading back to the counter. “Here you go.”
He laughed. “One white and
one wheat. Clever.”
“Thank you.” She nodded
and moved on to the next set of customers. She couldn’t help noticing that he
kept glancing over at her, and she felt her face redden.
When he was finished, she
walked over and picked up the cash he’d left to pay for his food. Her stomach
dropped when she saw the hundred-dollar bill wrapped up in the smaller bills.
She looked around to find him, but he’d already left. On the receipt, he’d
written,
Buy something for those
beautiful children of yours.

David
Lily’s eyes filled with
tears as she rolled the money up and shoved it in her pocket, and put the rest
into the register. She wanted to give it back, but Mary and Patrick needed
coats. She closed her eyes and said a quick prayer of thanks before moving on
to the next customer. She’d pay David back. Someday.
Jaclyn is an Idaho farm girl who grew up loving to read. She
developed a love for writing as a senior in high school, when her dad jokingly
said she was the next Dr. Seuss (not even close, but very sweet). She met her
husband, Steve, at BYU, and they have six happy, crazy children who encourage
her to keep writing. After owning a bookstore and running away to have
adventures in Australia, they settled back down in their home in Utah. Jaclyn
now spends her days herding her kids to various activities and trying to
remember what she was supposed to do next. Her books include Ring of Truth; A
Christmas Worth Billions, Fashioned for Love; Endless: A Modern Cinderella
Tale; The Princess and the Prom Queen; Magicians of the Deep; the Luck
series--Stolen Luck, Twist of Luck, Best of Luck, More Than Just Luck, No Such
Luck, and Just My Luck, a novella.
