Amish Christmas Search
Oct 2020
An Amish girl’s disappearance is a mystery…
and the clues lead straight into danger at Christmas.
Convinced her friend didn’t run away as the police
believe, Lizzie Kauffman searches for the truth—but

missing friend, Lizzie and Caleb must figure out
a way to survive the holiday.

 Love inspired has reissued the first two books in the Texas Grooms series 
by award winning author Winnie Griggs in a 2-in-1 volume.


Handpicked Husband

Regina Nash must marry one of the men her grandfather has chosen for her or lose custody of her nephew. But Reggie knows marriage is not for her, so she must persuade them—and Adam Barr, her grandfather’s envoy—that she’d make a thoroughly unsuitable wife.
Adam is drawn to the free-spirited photographer, but his job was to make sure Regina chose from the men he escorted to Texas—not marry her himself!

The Bride Next Door
Daisy Johnson is ready to settle in Turnabout, Texas, open a restaurant and perhaps find a husband. Of course, she’d envisioned a man who actually likes her, not someone who offers a marriage of convenience to avoid scandal. 
Newspaper reporter Everett Fulton may find himself suddenly married, but his dreams of leaving haven’t changed. What Daisy wants—home, family, tenderness—he can’t provide…

  1. I'm praying for all those affected by the wildfires. How are y'all affected? I hope our readers in those areas will check in and let us know you're okay.

  2. "My Favorite Quote Ever in a Western Historical Romance"

    Context: for years Louis L'Amour liked to say how some Western writers would show whole towns cowering at the thought of a bunch of cowboys coming into their town and shooting it up. Louis would point out that most of the men in those towns, even humble shopkeepers, were Civil War vets and any cowboys who tried to shot up their town would quickly be killed by the town folks. (Like the Dalton gang who tried to rob two banks at the same time in Coffeyville, Kansas. They were summarily shot dead.)

    Here's the quote from, "The Accidental Guardian," concerning an outlaw gang that planned to rob a whole wagon train headed west.

    "Besides the sheer number of people, many of the men heading west were Civil War veterans and a tough salty lot who were ready, even eager, to aim and fire." *

    I just wish Louis L'Amour was here to read this book! So true, so true!

    1. I think Mary's books are pretty "Louis L'Amour-ish," too, Vince!

  3. Happy weekend, everyone!

    We occasionally see smoke from the western wildfires here in South Dakota, but it all depends on the weather patterns. Praying for folks in the west coast states!
