  Can the good old-fashioned warmth of a rural small town make a broken family whole? New York Times bestselling author Janet Dailey explores the healing power of love and the enduring allure of the drive-in movie theater in the latest novel in her New Americana series … 
   
  Kelly Jenkins heads to bucolic Blue Moon Haven, Alabama, believing a new life will heal the two abandoned children in her care. Signing on to revive the drive-in theater seems like a worthy venture, until she discovers the property is in deep  
  disrepair. Still, spurred on by the elderly owner’s plea, Kelly takes on the renovation, beginning with an ancient tree that needs to come down—and unexpectedly bringing on the wrath of her reclusive neighbor … 
   
  Seeing Kelly take an ax to his little girl’s favorite tree is like being struck in the heart—whatever heart Seth Morgan has left after losing his daughter. With his own attempt to buy the old drive-in thwarted, Seth reluctantly steps in to help  
  Kelly, even offering her and her kids shelter in his home, a place that hasn’t seen a woman’s touch—or a child’s joyful laughter—in far too long … 
   
  Soon everyone is bound up in the fate of Blue Moon’s drive-in—and the new family taking root in town. Because it looks like the love blooming between Kelly and Seth just may rival any found on the silver screen …

  An elven prince. The son of an orc warlord. In two warring nations, their arranged marriage brings peace. They never expected to fall in love. 
  Prince Taegan Glynzeiros has prepared since childhood to fight and lead armies against invading orc forces, the enemies of elves for hundreds of years. But after a successful peace treaty, the elven prince will not be fighting orcs, but marrying one. 
  The first words he speaks to Zorvut are their wedding vows. Despite being considered the runt amongst the orc warlord’s children, Taegan finds him to be intelligent and thoughtful—everything the stereotypes about orcs say he shouldn’t be. He doesn’t want to fall in love, but Zorvut’s gentle soul makes it difficult to resist. Worse, their marriage bond, forged by ancient elven magic between their minds, proves to be a far deeper and stronger connection than anyone expected. Despite their trepidation, a genuine relationship blossoms from the political union. 
  But such a long war is not easily forgotten, and there are both elves and orcs who want to see them apart. When a dark secret comes to light, threatening to nullify the very peace treaty that brought them together, Taegan must decide if his feelings for Zorvut are worth fighting for. 
  This steamy MM fantasy romance, the first in the Orc Prince trilogy, features an arranged marriage with delicious size difference, and contains light omegaverse/A/B/O elements (mpreg is discussed as an in-world possibility, but does not happen on the page). This 18+ novel contains explicit scenes; if that's not your thing, Lionel Hart probably isn't the author for you. 
  ⚠Content warnings: discussions of parental death, infidelity (not between main characters), hunting, animal death.
