Adult
Contemporary Romance
Published

Fender Barnes profits from an institution he
doesn’t believe in: marriage. He’s a talented designer, but a reluctant jewelry
store owner, thanks to his pop’s retirement. He’s cynical, he’s jaded, he’s not
entirely certain about the concept of love, but he’s happy to sell an eager
young guy an engagement ring for his fiancée to be—until moments after the
transaction when that eager guy is hit by a car and killed, and Fender’s
conscience pays a rare visit.
He retrieves the ring and decides to find the
woman his customer intended to marry. That woman turns out to be Ginger
Stevens, twenty-something ski instructor, who—despite being full of guilt and
self-doubt after the death of her boyfriend—is someone Fender finds he quite
enjoys being around. He’s smitten.
Which is all well and good, except that after
he meets her, Fender can’t do it. Though it’s right there in his pocket, he
can’t tell her about the ring. Instead, he embarks on a long, ridiculous quest
to find a way to tell her the truth he knows she deserves. Aided by advice from
Pop and the antics of his best friend Sam, Fender tries desperately to juggle
his budding romance with the reality he knows could ruin it.
Will he find love or foul it up? Can Ginger
move out of the past to embrace what the future has to offer? Meet this
unlikely pair in Beck Anderson’s heartfelt and fabulously funny second novel,
The Jeweler.
Beck balances (clumsily at best) writing
novels and screenplays, working full-time as an educator, mothering two
pre-teen males, loving one post-40 husband, and making time to walk the
foothills of Boise, Idaho, with Stefano DiMera Delfino Anderson, the suavest
Chihuahua north of the border.
