THE AMISH WIDOWER’S DILEMMA
by Christina Rich
Raising his autistic son alone is not the future Noah Beiler ever imagined. But when bright, sunny Lydia Beachy turns up to help, the grumpy widower tries to send her away—despite the deathbed promise she made to his wife. The compassionate teacher forms an instant bond with four-year-old Jacob. And she may be the only person who can help Noah truly connect with the boy he cherishes. But he’s had feelings for sweet Lydia since they were youngies. Will they come to realize that their love deserves a second chance?
THE JOURNEY TO FORGIVENESS (A K-9 Companions tale)
by Vera Smetzer
When Jake Madison left his Maine hometown, he was an angry, grieving kid. Now he’s all grown up, and with his beloved dog in tow, he’s back to make amends to his family…and the girl he left behind. But Maggie isn’t exactly eager to see him back in Sweet Springs. Widowed and left to raise her troubled son alone, Maggie only wants to transform the Madisons’ farm into a blooming flower business. Yet Jake and his dog, Hero, seem to be winning everyone over—including her son, Oliver. But will Jake stick around when he learns the secret that she’s been keeping for years?
HOMETOWN HOME RUN
by USA TODAY bestselling author Annie Rains
The opportunity to play baseball means everything to her son, who has cerebral palsy, but protective mom Adaline Harper has reasons for wanting to avoid the baseball diamond. The new coach is her ex-sweetheart—and Will’s father. Daniel Matthews has returned to Prairie, North Carolina—along with a tsunami of complicated emotions. And as Daniel bonds with the boy he has no idea is his son, Adaline isn’t sure she’s ready for this reunion. He broke her heart once; she doesn’t want him to break Will’s as well. But Daniel could be more than the coach her son desperately needs…if he’s ready to step up to the plate.
