Love Of A Good Amish Woman
$8.99Warm and uplifting, Rosalind Lauer welcomes readers back for the third time to Joyful River, Pennsylvania, a faith-filled Amish community living side-by-side with the English world as they both overcome culture clashes with compassion, love, and abiding trust in Gott’s plan.

But when widow Collette Yoder steps in to help run his house, he never expected to find himself drawn to her no-nonsense practicality and easy smile. Love the second time around may prove to be the greatest gift of all!
Collette Yoder’s path hasn’t been easy since her husband abandoned her–and she recovered from a near-fatal injury. But now-widowed, she feels blessed to provide for her children, especially when her new job means helping the also newly widowed Bishop Aaron Troyer straighten out his too-busy life. She simply won’t let herself hope too much that their friendship could blossom into much, much more . . .
Aaron Troyer can only thank Gott that he’s finally found help. With a thriving congregation and two lively daughters growing up fast, the bishop has more demands on his time than hours in the day. And he’s long admired Collette Yoder’s quiet courage and ability to find joy in the smallest things–an inspiring example for three visiting Englisch girls. But amid unforeseen trouble and strife, Aaron may realize that his admiration for Collette could lead to a lifetime of joy together . . .

Secret Rooms And Stolen Kisses
$14.99How do you know when you’ve met the one? For some, it’s love at first sight. But things don’t always work like that. Sometimes people take time getting to know one another before sparks begin to fly. And people can even fall in love with someone they once considered their enemy. Tara Castro finds herself getting all caught up in the magic of discovering a secret room and falling madly in love with someone she initially despised. Is it possible for her to find a soulmate in someone she once thought was heartless? She wouldn’t expect to do that, but stranger things have happened. Tara was living in an apartment above a former jewelry store, just across the street from her father’s gym on Bank Street. In fact, it was the same apartment her parents lived in when they first got married. She grew up in that neighborhood, and it was her dream to open a dance studio and art gallery where the jewelry store had once been. Her plans seemed perfect and she was ready to pitch them to the new owner of the building, Trey Harper. It would be their first time to meet and nothing went as planned. Tara’s first impression of Trey was that of a heartless businessman who didn’t seem to care for the dreams or lives of those around him. Though she was discouraged and somewhat hopeless about her dreams coming true, Tara persevered. As time passed, the discouragement and distrust morphed into sparks and the wonderment of true love. She would soon discover God had greater plans for her than she had ever imagined, and along the way she would uncover some secrets the building had been hiding for years.

Unhiding Of Elijah Campbell

Relative Justice
$18.99For the attorneys at Cobb and Cobb, the pursuit of justice is about more than legal expertise; it’s a family matter.
David Cobb is not a typical lawyer–he’s more interested in dispensing God’s wisdom than pertinent legal advice. High-stakes litigation is way outside his comfort zone.

David’s sister-in-law, Katelyn Cobb, is a rising star attorney in a prestigious Washington, DC, law firm. The courtroom is her second home. Could she help? Would she even consider it?
Life’s circumstances compel the lawyers to face, not only patent piracy, but personal obstacles and struggles that threaten to rip apart the fabric of the family. The fight for Zeke requires all the relatives to unite–for justice.

Do Over : A Novel
$16.99Sometimes dreams come true. Other times, the best outcome begins with an epic fail.
Career-driven McKenna Keaton has devoted her life to attaining the senior partnership at her law firm. Not only that, she once walked out of a gusty hailstorm–in which she got a run in her pantyhose and a bit of tree branch stuck in her hair–straight into an elevator with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So asking a man on a date is nothing. But the past four days have been the worst of her life and have called everything she thought she knew about herself into question. Besides, she can’t remember her last real date–one that didn’t involve using a blind date as an opportunity to get a stranger’s perspective. (It’s like sharing fondue with a jury!)
But a real date? And with shy, nerdy Henry Blumenthal, McKenna’s high school rival for valedictorian who took three hours to beat her at chess in high school? Scratch that. He’s Hank Blume now, the famed documentarian, Durham’s darling son, who has attained all his dreams and more, and also happens to look like he stepped out of an Eddie Bauer catalog.
Whereas McKenna is a disgraced workaholic from New York on unpaid leave, accused of a white-collar crime she would never commit, succumbing to panic attacks, watching her dreams unravel. At age thirty-eight–and destined by the family curse to die before she turns forty, it appears–it’s absolutely the wrong time to have a major crush on a man.

As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him not just becoming pivotal to her work but her life. There’s no doubt about it. She’s falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.
