Better than Fiction: (A Christian Dual Timeline Novel)

Imagining him was harmless...until it wasn't.

Romance novelist Meghan Townsendâ€™s marriage is slipping, and no amount of prayer seems to help. She aims to recapture her husbandâ€™s waning attention by getting in shape and finds escape by crafting her own fictional love story. Taking inspiration for the hero from a new friendâ€”the attractive, spiritual, and attentive Curtis Jamesonâ€”she pours her yearnings onto the page, and craves the kind of pulse-pounding romance found in her book, Racing Hearts...

In 1916 Corona, California, motorcars are all the rage, and racing them is what Meghanâ€™s hero, Russell Keegan, does best. But when his competition vandalizes his car, the only mechanic available is a greasy woman in a manâ€™s overalls.

After a racing accident claimed her fatherâ€™s life, Winifred became the sole breadwinner for her family. She is disdained as a female mechanic, but her daddy's trade is all she has left. Can she swallow her hatred of the races and take up Russell's offer of big bucks to fix his car, or will she lose everything to mounting debt?

Under Meghan's skillful pen, these two embark on a thrilling, adventurous romance. But she finds that writing those love scenes with Curtisâ€™s face in mind takes her heart places it shouldnâ€™t go. Will she realize in time that real life can be better than fiction?

EXCERPT

1916
Russell watched as Winifred left the Ford and approached with slow, almost reverent steps. As she walked the circumference, studying every angle of his car, he studied her.
Washed in light, patches of clean skin glowed pale through the grime on her face and neck. A single curl hung forgotten against the side of her gaping mouth. Having made a complete circle, she came around the back of the Cat and took measured strides along its side. Her fingers hovered above the wheel and followed the curve in a worshipful caress.
If he didnâ€™t know her to be an unfeminine creature, he might think she were trying to seduce him.
Unbidden, the feel of her fingers ran a similar trail along his bare shoulders. He swallowed hard and squirmed in his seat. Something was wrong with him if a figureless woman in filthy coveralls set his mind on such an unchristian path. With a grunt, he shook off the images, jammed the handbrake into place, and jumped from the vehicle.

Present Day

Steveâ€™s game had ended long ago and Meghan was still tapping away on the laptop. Smiling, she closed her computer and nestled into her propped pillows with a dreamy sigh.
There was something about historical romance. A different time, a different way of life, but the same spark between a man and a woman.
A sharp snorting broke her from her reverie. Her gaze traveled to her husbandâ€•snoring loud enough to send the city into evacuation.
Meghan turned and studied the strong angle of his nose, the outline of his lipsâ€•even if they were hanging slack and flapping with every rattling breath. To be fair, sheâ€™d gotten pretty lax with her own appearance until a couple months ago, and Steve had never said a word. Of course, he hadnâ€™t looked at her the way he used to in a long time, either.
She reached out and ran a finger along his arm. Would he stir and pull her close?
He smacked his tongue on the roof of his mouth, then turned the other way.
Dejected, Meghan rolled onto her back.
Looked like all the sparks tonight were reserved for Winifred and Russell.
