Savannah artist Abilene Dupree keeps her personal life out of her commercial paintings except one. That one painting has now brought Londoner Lars Cargill back to the coastal town and into her art world. Can she hold the handsome Englishman at bay before he invades her personal space and paints his way into her heart?
A multiethnic contemporary Christian romance, DRAW YOU NEAR is book 3 in USA Today bestselling author Jan Thompson's Savannah Sweethearts series of sweet, clean, wholesome, and inspirational contemporary Christian romances set in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the small beach town of Tybee Island by the Atlantic Ocean.
Lars’s Labor…
While on vacation in Savannah last year, Lars Cargill bought a small watercolor painting for his estate in England. The more he stared at the artwork, the more he wanted to meet the woman in the painting.
This summer, Lars returns to Savannah to find the elusive real-life Lady and the Sea. Problem is, the artist says she doesn’t exist.
Of course, he doesn’t believe her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be showing up in her art classes and following her around. He doubts she has the heart to turn him away, not when he shows her that he has artistic potential.
Abilene’s Art…
Abilene Dupree is busy trying to make a living as an artist and art teacher in Savannah. She sells commercial art, not personal stories. Although much of her heart goes into her paintings, she doesn’t reveal her soul, not even to the clean-cut guy with cute dimples who is searching for the woman in her Lady and the Sea painting.
She keeps telling Lars that the illusive woman in the painting doesn’t exist. Well, the more she tells him that, the more she begins to believe her own words.
Before she could give him the real answers he seeks, Lars’s own past shows up and he has to leave Savannah. Will their relationship be like an unfinished painting?

Diego Flores has been interested in his best friend’s younger sister since their college days, but his calling to grow Riverside Chapel takes up most of his time. When Heidi Wei becomes his strongest supporter in his church ministry, how does Diego show his feelings for her without giving her the wrong idea?
Does she see him as potential husband material or just the pastor of their church?
Heidi’s Hurdles…

Yet every time they are together, something happens between them. Have they moved beyond the platonic relationship they have enjoyed all these years to something more personal?
When a crisis hits Heidi’s family, Diego has to balance pastoring his congregation and ministering to Heidi without losing either one. Being in love while pastoring a church is difficult for him to juggle. Which path is more important? Which one should he focus on?

Single thirty-something Sebastian Langston hires his sister’s best friend to become his fake girlfriend in an attempt to win back the ex-fiancée he lost to a billionaire.
The second novel in USA Today bestselling author Jan Thompson’s Seaside Chapel Christian small town beach romance series, Step with Me is a romantic comedy gone wrong. It all begins in Sebastian’s mind and he stubbornly carries out his plan. Will it succeed?
Publisher's Note: This is an expanded second edition of the novel that was first published on April 5, 2017. If you purchased this novel prior to September 13, 2020, please redownload the updated version of the ebook via the "Manage Your Content and Devices" page. Thank you.
The desperate jilted man…
Sebastian Langston cannot believe that his ex-fiancée would leave him again. They’ve broken up so many times that he doesn’t think much about it until he sees Talia with a billionaire. Now he wants her back.
The restaurateur cooks up an idea in which he hires a beautiful girl who can make Talia jealous. His sister tells him it’s a very bad idea, but Sebastian doesn’t listen. He figures that poor starving harpist Emmeline O’Hanlon needs money and is willing to help him reach his objectives.
“It’s past time for Talia to make the right decision. I don’t want to wait forever. I want a big wedding, a long honeymoon, and a house full of kids. What? Why can’t I nudge her in the right direction? Yeah, I know she’s already dumped me and moved on with whatshisname, but an ex can dream, can’t I?” — Sebastian Langston, owner of Saffron on Jekyll restaurant and Sage Café on St. Simon’s Island
The dreamy rent-a-girlfriend…
When her best friend’s older brother asks her if she wants a summer job, harpist Emmeline O’Hanlon has no idea what she is getting into. However, her van dies, her rent is due, and she is forced to take the job.
The short-term business agreement would only last one summer, or so Emmeline thinks. More than money for music school, she needs Sebastian’s funding to search for her long-lost brother. Sebastian is enlisting one of the top private investigators in the region to find Claude. In return, all she has to do is smile and make Talia jealous. How hard can it be?
“He says all I have to do is go out with him to be visible enough for her. He gets her back, I find my brother, and I go to grad school. A win-win. Yeah, he’s cute and has a kind heart. And she doesn’t deserve him. Oh, did I just say that?” — Emmeline O’Hanlon, harpist and music librarian of the Sea Islands Symphony Orchestra
The duet that can’t go wrong…
So it begins, this ill-advised scheme to drive his commitment-phobic ex-fiancée to the altar. Sebastian thinks his plan-on-a-whim would succeed because it has to. He will turn thirty-four next September and he wants to be a father by the following summer, preferably to a passel of Talia’s future children.
As they keep up the ruse, Emmeline’s ethereal harp starts to sound like siren songs that distract Sebastian from his goals. Pretty soon, he’s rowing away from his lane and begins to forget his original purpose for hiring her…
If you enjoy this novel, you might also enjoy the rest of the Seaside Chapel series and its sister series.
A father of two, widowed billionaire Diehl Brooks falls in love with his personal chef, but complications from his unfulfilled first marriage threatens his chance for love a second time around.
Welcome back to another Seaside Chapel beach romance novel set on St. Simon’s Island on the Atlantic Coast and the neighboring fictional Seaside Island, where the rich and famous hide away.
A selfless personal chef…
Skye Langston is a personal chef for residents and vacationers in the St. Simon’s Island area. When she finds out that her friend Brinley’s vacant beach house will be occupied for the summer, Skye is elated because she helped design the chef’s kitchen in that oceanfront house several years ago, and would love to cook in it again.
However, when Skye realizes who she will be cooking for, she is hesitant. She has heard a lot about Diehl, the once bad boy on the island, but they moved in different social circles. Now their worlds intersect in his beach retreat. Single again, the billionaire is available, but Skye resists wanting him.
Seeing him almost every day changes something about her view of him, but Skye tells herself she is only being kind to the widower, as the Bible asks Christians to be kind to one another.
A single-again billionaire…
A prodigal son who has wandered away from God, businessman Diehl doesn’t know how to come home. After being tragically widowed, he works himself aground at his father’s company, believing that a packed schedule would bury his grief. He leaves his two school-aged children with a nanny, and eventually agrees to let them stay with his in-laws. His own parents are in a tug-of-war to spend time with their grandchildren.
Diehl burns out at work, and is forced to take a summer sabbatical before they let him ruin the multi-billion-dollar family business. Reluctantly, he moves into his sister’s beach house on St. Simon’s Island to unwind and find himself. It has room for his two kids to stay with him, and it’s close enough to his parents’ home on Seaside Island for them to spend time with their grandparents.
In the beach retreat, his casual friendship with his sister’s personal chef quickly turns into something romantic, but his past shows up to collect yet another pound of flesh.
A splintered family…
Diehl might be newly single again, but his first marriage has long tentacles. When secrets from his unfulfilling marriage-of-convenience threaten his present happiness, Diehl is convinced he is not good enough for Skye. She is so beautiful and so pure that she does not deserve the stains and sins of his past life. Why would God bless him with love a second time around when he failed the first time?
In the middle of his emotional angst, Diehl’s children throw his life into a tailspin. Even as Skye’s singing voice soothes Diehl’s soul, Diehl doesn’t believe in happy endings. How can God give him sweet promises of a better tomorrow when his life is so bitter right now?

Some years into Reuben’s incarceration, the FBI Art Crime Team and INTERPOL offer him an early release from prison and a second chance for a new life in Greece if he helps them to catch a bigger criminal. Reuben agrees, and is now a free man.
Until they require his services again. This time, he must visit his own family's past in order to help private investigator Helen Hu find her missing mother and twelve Petros eggs, keys to the lost Amber Room…
Helen’s Havoc…
Past memories have never been darker for Helen as she deals with a long-lost secret that her mother has hidden from their family for fifteen years. Afraid that it will shame her daughter, Mama Hu tries to fix what she has done and redeem herself. Unfortunately, as Helen fears, she disappears.
The best way for Helen to rescue her mother is to go underground where thieves and robbers live. Her only ticket into that nefarious world is another art thief. He says he is reformed. Is he, really?

He agrees to help because he is a friend of the pastor’s eldest daughter, Tallulah, who seems to believe strongly in charity work.
Unexpected moments…
Women’s Ministry Director Tallulah Fitzpatrick is not only ministering to single moms in the Atlanta area, but she is also on the Midtown Chapel committee to plant a new church in the small town of Lakeside in North Georgia, where her grandmother still lives.

Unavoidable crossroads…
Are Gus and Tallulah just flirting with each other for the summer, or will the romance last into the winters of their lives?

Enjoy the hometown atmosphere and the warm southern beaches of St. Simon’s Island and the idyllic Golden Isles along the Atlantic Ocean.
The muse who collects old violins…
Businesswoman and historic preservationist Brinley Brooks is home for the holidays on St. Simon’s Island to spend time with her parents and brother, and to accept her life as a single woman, not to get into another dead-end relationship.
But when Ivan plays that second movement out of one of Bach’s orchestral suites on his violin, it is as though her heart is finding a second movement in her love life. Or is she just lonely?
One thing leads to another, and Brinley ends up attending Sunday services at Seaside Chapel, that oceanfront church known for its wedding chapel and beach weddings.
And everywhere she goes, Ivan seems to be there…
The musician struggling to play one…
Six years ago, Ivan McMillan was a budding crossover violinist, but that career was cut short when Grandpa Otto died. Ivan came home to St. Simon’s Island to live with Grandma Yun and her broken hip.
Now he has found a new road back to the orchestral stage. The last thing he needs is a detour he cannot afford.
But Brinley. Ah, Brinley.
So pleasing to look at…
So pleasant to be with…
The minuet of their lives…
When one of his worst nightmares comes to pass, Ivan feels obligated to show Brinley what it means to be a Christian living through adversity.
But trusting God is the last thing on his mind as the crisis affects his career, his life, and worse, his relationship with Brinley. He can’t let her see him afflicted like this.
Nope. He sure can’t.
What is a man to do?
