This preacher man is giving her something to believe in.
When country singer Dixie Pearl’s van breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee, it feels like rock bottom. Sharp-tongued Dixie prides herself on her independence, but after recent health struggles, her dream of making it big has never felt more out of reach.
It’s pure luck that the burly bearded man who hauls her out of the ditch is a beloved local minister. Dixie’s used to dive bars, truck stops and 2:00 a.m. brawls, not kindhearted preachers—especially one this hot.
For Jack Carter, being hospitable comes with the territory, but there’s something extra-special about Dixie. He’s dealt with his fair share of, um, quirky parishioners. But nobody’s ever challenged him like firecracker Dixie, stirring an attraction Jack’s not sure how to reconcile with his life of devotion.
Dixie wants nothing more than to get out of town and back to Nashville, but the white-hot sparks between her and Jack are almost enough to make her want to stay…but only if she can fit their worlds together without letting go of the dreams she refuses to leave behind.
Hot for Preacher is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A delightful take on the grumpy/sunshine trope, this cute rom-com from bestseller Marsh (The Code for Love) finds jaded aspiring country singer Dixie Pearl breaking down in the tiny hamlet of Wickham Hollow, Tenn. She's spent more than eight years touring dive bars and living out of her ancient van, which has finally given up the ghost. Gorgeous, cheerful local preacher Jack Carter ("like if a lumberjack and a rescue golden retriever had a baby") comes to her rescue, offering his guest room while Dixie plans her next move. Jack's moved by Dixie's predicament because his family lived out of their car for a time when he was growing up, the memories of which still give him panic attacks. The pair's chemistry is undeniable, and though Jack is interested in a relationship, he agrees to Dixie's proposal of a no-strings-attached one-night stand. Afterward, Dixie dashes off a frustrated, self-deprecating song about how she's not the kind of girl to settle down with a preacher and posts it on social media—where it instantly goes viral, leaving Dixie anxious about what Jack will think when he sees it. Marsh's plotting is taut and her prose is often laugh-out-loud funny, with comedy partly coming in the form of Jack's judgemental chinchilla, Georgia Peach. It's a joy.
