Book 1: Against the Tide by Elizabeth Camden
Description:
Love and Lives are Threatened in Camden's Latest Offering
As a
child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it
came to the future. Now, she's finally carved out a perfect life for
herself--a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or
chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling
Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure
position as a translator for the U.S. Navy.
However, it is her
talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander
Banebridge, or "Bane," a man who equally attracts and aggravates her.
When Bane hires Lydia to translate a seemingly innocuous collection of
European documents, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover she is in
over her head.
Just as Bane's charm begins to win her over, Lydia
learns he is driven by a secret campaign against some of the most
dangerous criminals on the East Coast, compelled by his faith and his
past. Bane forbids any involvement on Lydia's part, but when the
criminals gain the upper hand, it is Lydia on whom he must depend.
Book 2: Be Still my Soul by Joanne Bischof
Description:
Pretty Lonnie Sawyer is shy and innocent, used to fading into the background within her family, and among the creeks and hollows of the Appalachian hills. Though her family is poor and her father abusive, she clings to a quiet faith. But when handsome ladies’ man and bluegrass musician Gideon O’Riley steals a kiss, that one action seals her fate.
Her father forces her into a hasty marriage with Gideon—a man she barely knows and does not love. Equally frustrated and confused by his new responsibilities, Gideon yearns for a fresh start, forcing Lonnie on an arduous journey away from her home in Rocky Knob.
Her distant groom can’t seem to surrender his rage at the injustice of the forced matrimony or give Lonnie any claim in his life. What will it take for Gideon to give up his past, embrace Lonnie’s God, and discover a hope that can heal their two fractured hearts?
Gideon only ever cared about himself. Now that Lonnie is his wife, will he ever be worthy of her heart?
