Kate Landry Has a Plan
Forty-year-old café owner Kate Landry has carefully organized a life that leaves little room for romantic surprises while she helps raise her niece in New Orleans. The return of Micah, a former crush now working as a librarian, collides with Mardi Gras energy and an ex-fiancé who refuses to remain neatly in the past. Kate's plans begin to look less reliable as family needs and old feelings demand choices she never scheduled. This contemporary Christian romance offers New Orleans flavor, second chances, humor, family responsibility, and a heroine learning that control is not the same as security.
