NFL running back Nate Saylor is the best in the league, a star in his own universe…until a brush with the law tarnishes his career. When his agent suggests he sign on with the Moments for Miracles Foundation, a charity organization that grants wishes to kids with life-threatening illnesses, Nate agrees with a half-hearted shrug, never expecting to be contacted. As the offseason begins, he retires to his property on the outskirts of Mill’s Landing, secluded from the press…and fans that are so quick to judge.
Shayna Grady is a single mom struggling to stay afloat financially while tending to the needs of her son, Zac, who’s been struck with childhood leukemia. A bone marrow transplant is Zac's only hope for survival, but a match has yet to be found. While they wait, Shayna plans to see that Zac’s special wish is granted…to spend a day with his hero—NFL running back Nate Saylor. Though Shayna has reservations about pairing her son with the player whose blistered more than his fair share of negative headlines, she writes a heartfelt letter to the Moments for Miracles Foundation, pleading for their help.
Shayna’s letter—and her love for her son—are a pick-six to Nate’s heart. He finds himself longing for more, but is it too late to grant Zac’s wish…and to prove to Shayna there’s more to him than newspaper headlines reveal?

My Review
Miracles & Mischief book 1 in the Miracles at Mills Landing.
I love reading Mary's books. They are always clean spiritual books. The characters are well written.
Miracles & Mischief was a great novella about a NFL running back. Nate Saylor gets himself in a bit of trouble after a game. In order to clean up his image his agent suggest he sign up to help out Moments for Miracles Foundation. The foundation grants wishes for kids with life threatening issues. He really doesn't want o be around kids possibly dying. He is still hurting from his pass. But he agrees too. His first assignment is for a little boy dying. All the little boy asked for was to meet the famous ball player Nate Saylor. Was all his mother could do was to write and ask for Nate being he was just on tv and the news in trouble. But she had to do it for her son. Can Nate prove to them there is more to him then the bad being said about him? Can he win her trust? Get your copy and find out how it all comes out.

He’s sure she’s moved on and found a new man to love...Until he unexpectedly receives a letter Misty wrote the day he left Mills Landing nearly six years ago. Jack is shocked to learn Misty was pregnant with his child—a child that must be in kindergarten by now.
Misty Larsen is determined to give her daughter a good life. She’s put a business-management degree to good use by spearheading an online Web-design agency.

But when Jack storms Misty’s doorstep one thunder-filled afternoon, clutching her letter in his hand, the past bubbles up and spills over to merge their lives once again.

My Review
Miracles & Dreams book 3 in the series Miracles at Mills Landing. This was such a awesome series very well written by Mary Manners. I loved all the characters. Never disappointed in a book written by Mary Manners.
Jack and Misty knew each other all their lives. Have always loved each other. But decisions have to be made Jack has a wonderful job and career offer along the west coast and Misty doesn't want to leave Mills Landing. So Jack leaves thinking things will work out but years go by no correspondence till one day 6 years later he receives a letter. A letter that he was to receive that day he left but it never mad it to him. What could be so important in this letter to make him jump on a plane and head back to Mills Landing???
