Nearly Beloved

Hell has finally frozen over. Gertie's getting married!

Or… is she?

When a charming gold-digger by the name of Cliff Dow comes to Sinful and steals from their friend, Marie, the Swamp Team 3 decides to get even by publicly shaming him at the "When Hell Freezes Over" wedding of the century.

And everything's going according to plan until… Well, this is Sinful after all.

Meanwhile, a mystery woman also arrives. She says she's a FEMA representative. But Fortune thinks otherwise. She's met her before. But where? More importantly, is she friend or foe?

Nearly Beloved (Sinful Stories Book 3) takes place after the events of Hurricane Force, Book 7 of Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune series.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR: Nearly Beloved was first published on April 26, 2016 as part of the Miss Fortune Kindle Worlds program (which ended in July of 2018). It is now part of the Miss Fortune World published by J&R Fan Fiction. I wish to thank Ms. DeLeon for graciously allowing other writers to explore their own writing in a most Sinful way.

Sinful Stories is a series of stories written by Shari Hearn within the Miss Fortune World featuring Fortune, Gertie and Ida Belle. They may be read in any order; however, they do follow the timeline of Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune series with regard to Fortune's relationship with Carter. With the earlier books in the series, Carter doesn't know Fortune's true identity. As Jana DeLeon's series changes with regard to Fortune's continued threat from Ahmad, future stories within Sinful Stories will reflect those changes.

Currently, the stories within Sinful Stories include:

Nearly Departed

Mutiny on the Bayou

Overdue

Nearly Beloved

Rematch

Leaving Sinful

Murder on the Sinful Express
