Mother of Rebellion by B.K. Boes
Mother of Rebellion
by
B.K. Boes

The breaking was only the beginning...
Rebellion brews as nations struggle for power. Survival is pitted against compassion, duty against faith, and loyalties against love. 
The Schism, a war that raged a thousand years ago, left the continent of Leyumin broken. Near constant war and destruction define the millennium afterward, but the heavens have promised reunifcation and with it peace. Now, two nations vie for dominance and the title of Unitor. One does so through politics and manipulation, the other through brute force and self-proclaimed pure blood. 
Five unlikely people will shape the things to come: a slave-wife, a warrior, a guardian of history, a disciple, and a young nobleman. As they embark upon their journeys, their decisions sow the beginnings of change, and the consequences they reap prove to be more than they're prepared to handle.
Meanwhile, all wait in anticipation for the Unitor to emerge as the future looms uncertain.

In a small town called True Love, anything is possible.

Penelope Galbraith is set to take over her parents' business, Inn True Love. She has huge plans to expand the property. The town's tourist business is booming, and they often have to turn people away at the inn - like Devon.  But when he disses the town she loves, she offers him a place to stay for the night with one condition: He has to stick around for one day and let her show him around to prove how great True Love is.

Devon Nichol leaves his small hometown the first chance he gets. Nothing's keeping him there anymore, and he's sure he's inherited his mother's wandering spirit. So he makes a plan to land wherever he runs out of gas. Before that happens, he stops for the night in True Love, a town tinier than the one he grew up in. All he wants to do is get back on the road, but something about Penelope's charm intrigues him and he honors the deal.
​
When one day turns into a second, will Devon see how special True Love is - especially with Penelope at his side?

More Than My Playboy Co-Worker
by Danae Little


Love deserves a second chance, but Mia wonders if her renown playboy co-worker can be trusted.

Mia Thompson threw herself into work after she caught her fiance cheating with his secretary. Her dad chose the liar to lead his multi-million dollar company rather than her. Making a name for herself became a must. She had no time for games which is why she hardly even noticed her playboy co-worker, Isaac. That is until she was forced to go on assignment with him-to her father's Valentine's bash of all places.

Isaac quickly uncovers her situation and declares himself as her biggest supporter. In the process she realizes that he is more than the playboy he portrays himself as, and she forgets to act like the prim, focused woman he knows her as at work. 

Mia wonders if she can trust her playboy co-worker in order to give love a second chance.

by Valerie M. Bodden


She chose her career over him. He put his family before her. When they get a second chance, will they choose to put each other first?​

As she climbs the corporate ladder, Sophie doesn’t let herself think about what she gave up when she declined Spencer’s proposal four years ago. She’s never wanted a husband or family, and she tells herself she’s exactly where she’s supposed to be. So when she’s called home to say goodbye to her dying grandmother, she goes out of her way to avoid seeing him. Of course, that means he’s the first person she runs into. Much as she fights against it, being near him stirs up old feelings and makes her question old decisions. 

Leaving college to help on the family farm cost Spencer the woman he loved. But he couldn’t turn his back on his family. Now that Sophie’s back in town, Spencer’s determined to protect his heart. Only he senses something new in Sophie—something that makes him think maybe they could have a second chance. But when his family needs him again, he feels like he’s repeating the past. Only this time, he’s not sure what choice he should make.

Because the more time they spend together, the more they both realize their old feelings have never disappeared. Maybe a future together is the one God had planned for them all along. But soon Sophie is called back to her job in Chicago, and Spencer has to decide what direction his future will take. Can they find the courage to make different choices this time? Or will the heartaches of the past keep them from the second chance they desire?

Jared wishes he could give Peyton everything she desires. But marriage is the one thing he can never offer her. So he plans use this year’s ski trip to get over her. But that’s almost impossible when wherever he turns, he sees her spending time with another man at the ski lodge—a man Jared doesn’t trust. He promised himself long ago that he’d never again stand by and watch a woman get hurt. And he’s not about to let anything happen to the woman he still loves.

No sooner does she settle in, and Natalie realizes that living in the shadow of Good Hope Mountain isn’t what she expected.

She’s always been a good friend, but he can imagine her as more, which complicates their charade.
