The Prayer List Mix-Up
Emma Holloway is dependable, organized, and very good at keeping her private thoughts exactly that—private.
Until one disastrous church email changes everything.
Instead of sending Luke Mercer the volunteer schedule for Cedar Haven Community Church’s upcoming Harvest Welcome Weekend, Emma accidentally attaches her private prayer journal. And unfortunately, Luke opens it before she can stop him. Even more unfortunately, one of those prayers happens to mention his smile.
Emma would like to disappear permanently behind the church supply-room door. Luke, however, handles her mortifying mistake with an unexpected kindness that makes forgetting him even harder. Soon they’re working side by side through volunteer disasters, bakery runs, small-town interruptions, and more than a few moments neither of them can explain away as friendship.
But the prayer Luke accidentally saw revealed something deeper than a secret crush. Emma has spent years believing that being useful, dependable, and easy to need is the safest way to be loved. Luke has his own questions about success, belonging, and whether the life he left behind is really the life he wants back. As their friendship grows into something neither planned, they’ll both have to decide whether love requires having everything figured out—or simply having the courage to be known.
Filled with witty banter, cozy small-town charm, gentle faith, lovable church characters, heartfelt romance, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, The Prayer List Mix-Up is a clean Christian romantic comedy about unexpected love, honest prayers, and discovering that sometimes the biggest mistake can become the beginning of something beautiful.
Perfect for readers who love: clean romance, Christian romantic comedy, small-town love stories, slow-burn chemistry, church-community humor, wholesome romance, and happily-ever-afters.
