Ms. Directed

by Kay Keppler

Five years ago, Abby Marsh quit architecture school and returned home to help her family when they needed her most. She had to set aside her dreams, maybe forever.

But now that her sister’s grown up and her mom’s doing better, maybe it’s time to reevaluate her situation. Maybe she could resume her education. It would be expensive and time consuming. And a lot of hard work. One thing for She won’t have time for love, even though the new park ranger is super nice. And cute.

But Venus, the goddess of love, and Mars, the god of war, think there’s no time like the present. They arrive to help Abby find her best happiness. Everything’s working out great.

Until the goddess of discord shows up.

About the author

Kay Keppler likes happy endings, whether they’re in the fiction she writes, the fiction she edits, or the fiction she reads. After all, an unhappy outcome is what the newspaper is for! Her characters are resourceful to a fault, hard-working to the extreme, and loyal to the end—qualities she absorbed growing up in a small town in Wisconsin. Resisting the character-building aspects of deep snow and cold, she now lives in California and spends her time creating happy endings.
