  Life is always a little easier when we have a listening ear, an understanding heart, and a hand to hold.  
   
  A Hand to Hold is the tale of a young Ethiopian orphan, adopted at five years old and brought to the United States of America. Under her new parents' love and care, she blooms and tries to assimilate to her new home, but she also finds herself longing to know her biological parents, and what happened to them. As she experiences life from childhood to adulthood, Adina always feels a piece of her soul is missing. Then through an unexpected encounter, Adina begins to heal her past and is offered a hand to hold for her life forward.  
  Throughout Adina’s story, we learn about one woman’s failures and triumphs as she swims against the currents and, in the end, finds that all she needs is to peel back the layers of her own complexities, trust her inner voice, and allow her soul to evolve.

The shop is the heart of the Applemore village community, and making the Christmas Market into a winter wonderland almost makes up for the fact that once again she's alone for the festive season . . . Her closest friend Harry Robertson is determined to make the Applemore Hotel a success. With a huge renovation in the pipeline, he's counting down the days until he can close the hotel and get to work. As the busy season ends, he's saying goodbye to the final guests of the year when a last minute booking puts a spanner in the works . . .

  After some unexpected life detours, Callie Lewes is determined to complete her PhD program and figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Her laser focus is finely tuned and she's ready for total immersion in literature, subpar student essays, and all the joys that come with being a graduate teaching assistant. She has no time for, or interest in, anything else. Especially not dating. 
   
   
   
  Even if Callie were to entertain the idea of dating, she's certain it would be with someone vibrant, open, and close to her own age. Definitely not someone like Dr. Kate Jory, a new member of Pennbrook College's English department. Kate is both intimidating and a closed book. And the age difference between them is not small. But Kate is also brilliant and fascinating, and Callie is drawn to her in ways she'd never imagined possible. 
   
   
   
  Not that Kate notices. Or does she? Callie can’t tell. Even though they develop an engaging and flirtatious friendship, Callie struggles to work up the courage to put herself directly in Kate's romantic path—wary of the type of fire she suspects their sparks could ignite.
