The Charm Bracelet — Susan Page Davis

When Lisa Archer's charm bracelet is caught in a mall escalator, she is rescued by a flippant but dashing EMT. Steve Rollins seems to understand only too well Lisa's mixed feelings toward her escort, Dr. Bryan Cooper, who gave her the bracelet. When Lisa and Steve meet again, the sparks fly. Steve is sure Lisa hates him, and Lisa can't help comparing vibrant Steve to mediocre Bryan, although Steve makes her furious every time she sees him. She tells Bryan she no longer wants to wear the charm bracelet, angering Bryan, and both are injured in an auto accident. When Steve responds to the emergency call and finds that Lisa is one of the accident victims, his guilt weighs him down. Will he have the chance to ask Lisa's forgiveness and start over in his clumsy attempts to win her heart? With a lot of prayer and some manipulation from Steve's sister, he may be able to charm his way into Lisa's life. This romantic novel has elements of Christian faith. The e-book also includes a bonus short story, “Wandering Irises,” by Susan Page Davis.
