    About this ebook

    Just because something can go wrong, that doesn’t mean it should.

    Jada Stanton and several other travelers are caught in the flash blizzard of the decade in the middle of Where, exactly? Montana.

    Dr. Bretton Heathrow left behind a few bad memories to make his dream come true. Stranded motorists are the last thing he expects at dark-thirty in the morning. But one bright shining star may make the near-disaster a worthwhile inconvenience.

    Like the blizzard, Jada Stanton is the one he never saw coming.

    (Christian Romance)

    **Friend and fellow writer, Jackie Zack, more or less issued a challenge, "wondered if you'd like to write a Christmas novella." With only four weeks on the calendar, what's a girl to do?

    Rena Manse

    Hi, I'm Rena (as in Rayna). I write interracial Christian romance, and I like to think I'm filling the market for this well under-served genre. I'm passionate about igniting strong emotion through my writing, and hope you enjoy the adventure! As an ethnic female, I like to see realistic and relatable characters in my novels, and try to infuse everyday multicultural interaction to shape my characters' backgrounds and personalities. We're not always sweet or right, but we strive to hold on to God's values and not our own, and that's how we live victorious lives in today's world. I'm a musician, singer, songwriter, and consummate computer geek with a penchant for British mystery. (Really, who can resist those accents?) So join me as we get lost between the pages. Touches of color to your lives, RAM

      Short and supremely sweet! The characters are real. Jada and Brett wonderfully clear about what they want from each other.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    CHAPTER ONE

    HELP ME! In one second, everything changed. Jada Stanton jerked the steering wheel to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front. Headlights flashed, and the world around her vehicle went white.

    Headlights? Had the car in front spun around? Guiding a ton of metal blindly through the swirling snow, she threw the lever to neutral. The car continued to sail forward on its original path. Hitting something out there was inevitable.

    Father, help me.

    Smash. Jerked forward on impact, her mind couldn’t linger on what she hit. Oncoming vehicles from behind were driving straight into the same whiteout. How many vehicles had decorated her rearview mirror? Five? Six?

    Staring out at the wiles of the flash blizzard, she braced for impact. A hefty bump meant she wasn’t hit head on. She sighed. Probably just the back, right fender. At least the person behind displayed better maneuvering capabilities than she’d managed.

    Her mid-sized Acura jolted with another impact. And another. She clutched the steering wheel and peered over her shoulder. Naturally, the weather’s fury showed the same view outside all windows. White, with a chance of white. She tried to find images, lights, gaps in the completely encasing shroud. Nothing.

    Forecasts hadn’t predicted any of this severe weather in Montana. She’d listened to storm warnings since she set out from Seattle. Leave it to her to get caught in a freak storm when she didn’t know where she was going.

    Isn’t I-90 famous for whiteouts? Her sister had asked the ironic question when they discussed her making the trip over the phone. That would have been a good time to listen to Judith’s advice. But 20/20 couldn’t help her now.

    You live out there and you don’t know?

    Hey, I’m smart. I fly.

    Jada had grinned from ear to ear. I’m going to love this drive.

    It’s eleven hours.

    Stop being a worry-wart. The fourteen-day forecast looks great.

    Whatever.

    Oh, very articulate for a language post-grad.

    A post-grad who’s going to Greece! Judith’s voice screeched. Her sister probably did a happy dance in the process.

    Jada pulled the phone from her ear and laughed before clearing her throat loudly in the receiver. Yes, yes. Rub it in that you’re spending a month in Europe and see if I leave your condo standing by the time you get back.

    I’m sorry.

    Are you kidding? Never be sorry about going away.

    But this is our first Christmas apart.

    "What it is is an excellent opportunity. Don’t miss out."

    Stop it. You’re a year younger than me. Why do you sound like you’re my mom?

    Despite not having their parents for most of their lives, Jada didn’t mind watching out for her older sister. Foster care hadn’t been easy, but they’d been kept together most of the time. If it hadn’t been for one God-fearing couple setting them straight, neither of them would have made it in life.

    In all their years, Judith never gave up hope to reach out and educate children in their own languages. Jada watched her suffer setbacks, and ended up enrolling in every one of her courses years after everyone else. But at age thirty, Judith was about to complete that dream.

    "I’m never standing
