Preachin' to the Choir
http://www.devinedestinies.com/978-1-4874-2136-6-preachin-to-the-choir/
Jonathan could do nothing to stop his wife’s losing battle with cancer. With twenty years into the ministry, he can't believe the Lord would leave him with both an empty nest and empty spot on the other side of the bed.
Kat, music teacher and mother of grown twins, feels settled in small
town Texas. Life may be dull, but it's predictable, unlike her life with
her late husband. Kat concludes a happy, committed relationship with a
male is impossible, so she makes peace with herself and with God. If
nuns can live celibate, why can't she?
One Sunday, Jonathan spies a golden beam of light descending upon Kat while she is directing the choir. Why hasn’t he noticed how beautiful she was before? From here on out, Jonathan knows he’ll be preachin’ to the choir, but will Kat—and his congregation and their children—let him?

Country Boy, City Girl
http://www.devinedestinies.com/978-1-4874-2135-9-country-boy-city-girl/
City girl Veronica "Ronnie" Hawthorn has
found peace at last in the Missouri Ozarks town of Green Springs. She and her
young daughter, Natalie, are excited at the prospect of running their own
arts-and-crafts store in an old farm house. But when city girl Ronnie
"falls" into her handsome neighbor's arms, she is surprised to
discover that country boy Dave Darden is one of the most eligible bachelors in
America.
Dave is intrigued by his sexy new neighbor and
simply adores "Nat," but his need to run every business he encounters
efficiently gets in his way of impressing Ronnie. She wants to run her
store--and her life--her own way without Dave's (or anyone else's) meddling.
Can they get past their pride and acknowledge their love for each other?

The Stocking is actually a historical short story--set about 130 years ago, but it's more of a "contemporary" than a "fantasy" romance and is rated PG.
