  Promise

  Additional Info
  She was of American blood, born in the islands. He was a native islander. Their love bridged two worlds that would one day threaten to tear them apart.

  As a child, Jana Rutherford played barefoot on the sparkling Hawaiian beaches with her friend, Akela, and Akela’s handsome cousin, Kimo. But that carefreeness would change as Jana grew…and the quality of her and Kimo’s friendship grew as well into something deeper, stronger.

  It was then that Jana first heard the whispers, “He’s not her kind”-and discovered the difference people drew between a Hawaiian-born American and a native islander.

  Faced with the ignorance of others and a painful time of separation from Kimo, it would be easy for Jana’s love to grow cold. Especially with Bayard, the dashing brother of Jana’s wealthy friend, Edith, showing such evident interest. Attractive, charming, and of American stock like herself, Bayard represented a lavish, exciting world that Jana had only read about.

  But Kimo stood for all she had known and loved.

  In each intricate quilt of the Hawaiian women, a secret was hidden known only to its creator, a story contained in its design. Jana’s life seemed much like a quilt: delicately yet passionately fashioned by a creator who know how to assemble the pieces into a mysterious, glorious pattern-a life’s tale yet untold.

  In the American Quilt trilogy best-selling author Jane Peart follows three generations of a family through the stories of its adventurous young women-heroines of courage, character, and faith. Beginning in the mountains of North Carolina, American Quilt takes readers through the Civil War, across the country by wagon train to California, and finally across the Pacific to the romance and wild beauty of Hawaiian in the late 19th century. At the end of each book, you’ll find the pattern for its quilt. Follow it to create a beautiful, heirloom quilt of your own.

There, Johanna makes a living sewing her exquisite quilts-and Jo-Beth discovers a special friend. Kind, thoughtful, and deep, Wesley Rutherford draws Jo-Beth like a magnet … and their attachment to one another becomes strong. Strong enough to endure separation while Wes studies in Philadelphia. Strong enough to make their future together seem certain … until the Civil War forces a decision that places Wes at odds with friends and family.

  Can their love survive a war that will rend a nation in two? Like the pieces of silk, velvet, and ribbon in one of her mother’s quilts, the patchwork events of Jo-Beth’s life will be knit together by God into a pattern of their own-one of sorrow, joy, and grace….

  Jubilee Bride

  $17.99

  The lake held special memories of her times with Jeff. Here they had spent hours talking, feeding the swans, and skipping pebbles across the smooth surface, creating circles within circles. One afternoon in particular Faith remembered. Jeff had kissed her. It was their first real kiss. In it were all Faith’s dreams, her longings, her hopes, her loyalty and love. “Don’t ever stop believing in me,” Jeff begged. “I promise, I never will,” she had whispered. Did Jeff remember that day? For Faith, that day, that kiss, that promise were a treasured memory, cherished as a special bond between them of mutual trust and love. Could he have forgotten? It was to be a very special summer, the summer of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, the sixtieth year of the English monarch’s reign. It was the summer Faith Devlin had looked forward to with great anticipation–the pressures of her debutante year were over, Jeff Montrose was back in London, and her American cousins were coming for a family reunion at the beautiful country estate of Birchfields. It was the summer of unexpected encounters and romantic enterprises — but it was not to be the summer of Faith Devlin’s dreams. . .

  Destinys Bride

  $17.99

  Even while Randall was speaking, it was Pietro I saw, the tenderness in his dark eyes looking at me, the caress in his soft voice. In Randall’s voice there was not a shred of emotion; nor was there any in his expression. How should I respond? What should I say? I knew this was the hardest decision I would ever have to make. Either choice would demand a different price. Was I prepared to pay it? Was love enough in the one to bridge all the other differences of nationality, religion, and heritage? Was family loyalty, future security enough to decide for the other? What was my destiny? The heroine of Destiny’s Bride is Druscilla Montrose, who first meets Randall Bondurant when she is a bridesmaid at his wedding to her cousin Alair Chance. Eight years later, after Alair’s mysterious death, they meet again in a chance encounter. This leads to a strange series of events in which Druscilla debates, then accepts the position offered her by Alair’s widower. Against all advice, Dru becomes governess to her two motherless little cousins, a difficult decision because of the suspicions and accusations of family and friends that Randall might have been responsible for his wife’s death. She travels with the family to Italy. Here against the romantic background of nineteenth-century Europe, Druscilla receives two unexpected offers: One is a love that will mean giving up her heritage; the other requires a decision more important than any she has ever had to make before.

  Valiant Bride

  $17.99

  Noramary came out of the parlor into the hall. Stunned by what she had just heard, she felt slightly light-headed and leaned against the closed door for a moment to steady herself. The shock of Winnie’s elopement during the night had been followed by a second — the staggering request of her foster parents that she step into her errant cousin’s place as the bride of Duncan Montrose! “So you see, my dear, why we must ask this of you?” Aunt Betsy’s voice rang in her ears. Noramary closed her eyes, bringing back the scene that had just taken place. As her aunt had explained the dilemma Winnie’s irresponsibility had caused and what must now be done, Noramary had sat very still, eyes downcast, hands folded in her lap, hearing but not fully absorbing her aunt’s words. Now those same words burst upon her, strong and clear: “–marry Duncan Montrose!” Valiant Bride is a historical romance that brings to life a young woman’s choice between duty and love.
