Cassi, a beautiful, energetic, career-driven young woman, is the head buyer for
a prestigious art gallery in California. Jared is a handsome returned
missionary, who works as a buyer for an exclusive New York gallery. Sparks fly
as the two come head to head in a bidding war for a hideous but very expensive
Indian Buddha from the Kushan period. Each is determined to win, but others also
want the Buddha—at any cost. Thugs, jewel thieves, the FBI, or Jared's beautiful
and alluring boss . . . who will end up with the statue? During a string of
hair-raising exploits, Cassi and Jared are forced to develop a tentative
friendship that deepens into romance. Will they survive long enough to see it
through?
Rachel Ann Nunes, author of the best-selling Ariana series, has crafted a
wonderfully intriguing and romantic drama in this fast-moving novel, bringing
two idealistic young people together from opposite edges of the continent and
allowing them, in their own way, to find an unexpected connection to the gospel
and to each other. In the end, their very lives depend on the trust they've
developed. If you love romance and excitement, you'll be captivated by A Bid for
Love.
What Others Are Saying
I love this book as well! My mother got this book signed, and then she let me read it! I was so amazed at how good that book was organized and set up. I love how Cassi and the guy are fighting over a Buddha (sorry, I don't remember the guy's name.)

I am definetly not into romance novels, but a friend had me read it and it is so AMAZING that I had to re-read it multiple times. It has such a great story line and really invites the spirit into where ever you may happen to be.
