  Twelve years ago, he left her standing at the altar. Now he’s back, asking for a second chance. 
    
  Maggie Fitzgerald and Jake West had a beautiful future planned—until he walked out on her five weeks before their wedding. 
    
  Years have passed, and now Maggie owns a B&B on the Maine coast. Though she’s never forgotten Jake, she’s created a new life far from her Midwest roots. And if loneliness and what-ifs sometimes bubble to the surface, they’re a small price to pay for her otherwise placid and happy existence. 
    
  Jake has gone on with his life too, including a long tenure in the navy. Now he’s charting a new course—one that unexpectedly puts him on a collision course with the woman who once stole his heart. Their unplanned reunion not only shakes the foundation of his world, it makes him rethink his solo existence. 
    
  Though Maggie begins to fall for Jake all over again, letting him back into her life would require a huge leap of faith—and is a second chance at love really worth the risk?

  A Dickens of a Christmas turns deadly . . . 
   
   
   
  As the holiday season lights up Seattle's famed Pike Place Market, Pepper Reece's beloved Spice Shop is brimming with cinnamon, nutmeg, and shoppers eager to stuff their stockings. Add to the mix a tasty staff competition—a peppermint bark-off—along with Victorian costumes for this year's Dickensian Christmas theme, and Pepper almost forgets to be nervous about meeting her fisherman boyfriend's brother for the first time. 
   
   
   
  But when a young woman working in her friend Vinny's wine shop is brutally assaulted, costumed revelers and holiday cheer are the last things on Pepper's mind. Who would want to hurt Beth? Or were they looking for Vinny instead? 
   
   
   
  As the secrets of the market come to light, long-held grudges, family ties, and hidden plans only further obscure the truth. Is it a ghost of the past rattling its chains, or a contemporary Scrooge with more earthly motives? As Pepper chases down a killer, someone is chasing her, and in the end, the storied market itself may hold the final, deadly clue.

When she went to college, they became estranged. 
  When Becca's mother called her at school to announce she was getting remarried to a very wealthy old man, she was totally caught off guard. Her mother's high standards and impossible expectations had always proven an obstacle in her ability to establish long-term relationships with men. 
  Her mom wanted her there to meet her new stepdaddy, Buck, and mend fences with her daughter. How could Becca refuse the olive branch her mother extended? But little did she know exactly what awaited her at the other end of that olive branch.

  What happens when a family loses everything and has no place to go? 
  "Thought provoking and Riveting! This book is one that will evoke many emotions, anger and frustration among them, and perhaps spur the need to take a deeper look at our law enforcement and social programs. Rebmay  
  Terrance Mack has a wife and two young boys. Never in a million years did he expect to find his family living on the streets, with no home, no jobs, in a position where everything they owned has been taken from them in the cruelest of ways. As the family struggles to stay together, they encounter a hard and unfriendly way of life, having to move from town to town, being harassed by the police and by locals, and confronting danger each day. Living on the streets is nothing as he expected. 
  All Terrance wants for his family is for someone to give them a chance—a chance for a new beginning, a roof over their heads, the opportunity to once again build a life without constant fear, having to look over their shoulders, feeling as if the rug will continue to be yanked out from under them again and again. 
  The worst is seeing the light in his wife’s eyes slowly diminish, along with the hope they once had. Terrance carries a constant weight, and every day brings a new challenge as doors close and they’re forced to move on. Even though they’ve stayed together, finding a place to stay has forced the family into survival mode, living one day at a time. The dignity Terrance once took for granted has become something he struggles to hold on to as he dreams of one day being able to have a peaceful night’s sleep.
