Blurb for Finding Mr. Perfect by Yvonne Lehman:

ELIZABETH (Lizzie) MARSHALL has watched her best friends fall in love and marry.  Even Aunt B in her 60’s found a new love. Lizzie longs for Mr. Perfect and has dated many eligible men from the Christian Dating Services. Her efforts led to nothing and she has no one special. She prays that if she’s destined to remain single she will accept it. To prove her sincerity she promises God she will not keep the date already set up. Then…the most wonderful-looking man she’s ever seen steps into the Pirate’s Cave and she’s tempted to retract that prayer.

ZACHARY (Zach) GRANT is an actor, playing the part of a pastor named Rev. Dr. Preston Bartholomew. Because he’s wearing a clerical collar and before he can reveal his identity Lizzie mistakes him for a real clergyman. He continues the charade, finding her intriguing and he is amused. Lizzie pretends to be a pirate at the Pirate’s Cave Restaurant, so what’s wrong with his pretending? However, when his secrets are revealed, Lizzie isn’t laughing.

THERE’S A NEW TEACHER IN TOWN

Charlotte Nelson arrives in the tiny mountain town of Plumville, Arkansas, with big ideas. She wants to mend the decades-old town feud by throwing a Christmas pageant. But it soon proves to be a challenge, especially when three of her students are determined matchmakers. She’s in no hurry to settle down—certainly not with the rugged, handsome sheriff.

Sheriff Asher Thomas can handle most trouble that comes his way, but Charlotte’s flashing eyes and black curls are a threat of a different kind. Soon she’s taking over his time and his thoughts. Will Asher change his bachelor ways for love?

She resides in North Georgia.
 
Blurb for The Doctor’s Bride (Harlequin/Heartsong, Nov 2013) by Patty Smith Hall:
 
Dr. Joshua McClain is headed west
First stop: Hillsdale, Michigan, to break the marriage contract his late mother arranged between him and Katie Clark. Years ago, Katie left him behind in Charleston. But after a train crash, he comes face-to-face with Dr. Kathleen Clark, his childhood friend all grown up.
 
When Josh shows up in town, claiming they’re betrothed, Katie refuses to consider an arranged marriage. She’ll marry for love or not at all. Besides, he’s headed for Kansas Territory; her practice is here in Hillsdale. So why are they both finding it hard to break their betrothal and say goodbye.
