Stopping Traffic

A back-to-school sweet romance. A heartwarming, inspirational novella where the characters’ spiritual growth leads to a happily-ever-after.Candace Clark has a phobia about crossing the street, and for good reason. As fate would have it, her daughter’s principal assigns her to crossing guard duties as part of the school’s Parent Participation program. With no choice, Candace begrudgingly accepts her stop sign and safety vest, then reports to her designated crosswalk. Once Candace is determined to overcome her fears, God opens the door for a blessing, and Royce Kavanaugh enters her life, a firefighter built to rescue any damsel in distress. When a spark of attraction ignites, Candace and Royce soon discover there’s more than one way to stop traffic.From one reader:I love Pat Simmons and her ability to repeatedly write meaningful stories. She is a sentimental romance writer who pays close attention to the details of her characters’ voices. By the end of the story, you feel like you know these folks. Candace had some fears and issues to overcome as residual emotions from her previous marriage. But when her future husband found her, he laid his cards out on the table. No gimmicks. No games. I respect Pat’s mature approach to love, faith, and relationships. At the end of the day, there is always a nugget of a message to take away from her message.
