ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Loving Grace
Author: April Smith
Publisher: Ambassador International
Release Date: March 20, 2018
Genre: Christian Fiction, Young Adult Romance

Grace Summer lands herself in a melon load of trouble when she becomes torn between the boy of her dreams and the boy almost next door.

As the newly crowned Watermelon Queen, she is thrust into the spotlight, meets the dreamy Warren Hartley, and continues trying to get over an accident that rocked her world. Mix in working with Beau Baron who Grace happens to fight with just about as much as breathing and the metaphorical sparks fly.

Like most things in life, Grace must learn to take the good with the bad. While the good is the handsome and fun Warren Hartley, the bad is Beau Baron—or at least being around his annoying and rude self way more than she would like. For Beau, Grace is nothing more than aggravating and an irritating reminder from the night of the accident.

Tensions soar as Grace and Beau fight to love themselves and maybe, just maybe, each other.

 EXCERPT

“YOU’LL BE GONE FOR TWO months!”

I can’t stop myself from shouting. Gramps and I are walking to the cemetery to put flowers on the headstones. When I was little, I used to think of it as a sea of gray stone. It seemed like it went on forever. We’ve come here a lot over the years. It used to be just to visit Grandma, but now there are three more stones besides hers.

“Grace, I need to go. The pastor who was going to go just got really sick. He won’t be strong enough for the trip. Besides, your busy season will be starting with the Midwest Watermelon Association.”

We sit on a bench under the oak tree. Usually, we tell stories we remember about Grandma, Mom, Dad, and Luke. Not today, though. I’m too busy coming to terms with Gramps going halfway around the world.

“They need me.”

“So do I.” I can’t keep the frustration out of my voice.
