Summary

Miss Amelia Stalwood may live in London at her absent guardian's townhouse, but she's never actually met any nobility, and instead of aristocrats, her closest friends are servants. Quite by happenstance, she's introduced to the Hawthorne family and their close family friend, Anthony, the reformed Marquis of Raebourne. They welcome her into their world, but just as she's beginning to gain some confidence and even suspect she may have caught Anthony's eye, she's blindsided by an unexpected twist in her situation accompanied by nasty rumors.  
 
Will she lose her reputation when the world that has only just accepted her turns its back on her, or will she rest in the support of the friends who've become like family and the man who's shared his faith and captured her heart? 
 
A Lady of Esteem is an e-only novella that gives an exciting introduction to Kristi Ann Hunter's new Regency romance series about the aristocratic Hawthorne family! Includes an extended excerpt of Kristi's debut full-length novel, A Noble Masquerade.
Available since: 07/07/2015.
Print length: 96 pages.

    Some Christmas traditions are meant to be broken. 
    Verity Troyer has perfected the quiet art of surviving Christmas. At thirty-five, she’s a capable midwife with a full, independent life in Cedar Grove—one her mother hopes she’ll eventually trade for marriage. 
    Every December, Verity returns home knowing exactly what waits for her: another bachelor her mother has chosen, another polite holiday courtship, another harmless “Christmas ruse” that carries her to Boxing Day before she slips back to her real world. 
    For ten years, the pattern has held. 
    No attachments. No expectations. No chance of disappointment. 
    Until Adam Beiler. 
    Adam doesn’t pursue her. He doesn’t pressure her. Instead, he meets her steady, quiet rhythm—matching her step for step in a way that feels unexpectedly natural. Nothing like the forced pairings Verity has endured for a decade. 
    But Adam is hiding a huge secret—big enough to break Verity’s trust in an instant. 
    A truth that doesn’t just ruin a Christmas… it shatters everything she thought was safe. 
    As the season unfolds and the truth threatens the fragile peace she’s always maintained, Verity must decide whether this Christmas will end like all the others… or whether the life she’s been running back to each year is no longer the life she wants at all. 
    Could this be the Christmas that finally changes everything?

    Read by the author. 
    Tired of trying to be enough? The truth is you were never meant to be, no matter what culture might tell you. 
    Christian women today are bombarded with confusing messaging–they are supposed to do and be it all but also die to themselves. They are supposed to believe that women can do anything and also surrender everything to God. Adding to that pressure, many women feel stuck in their current reality–spinning on the hamster wheel of life. They scroll past images that tell them everyone else has it together and is experiencing a purpose-filled, adventurous, fun, loving, and God-honoring life. Overwhelmed and at a loss, most women go one of two places: defeat or self-help empowerment, even Christian self-help. 
    In Becky Kiser's But God Can, women realize this truth: on their own, she was never meant to be enough—that is the gospel message, that is why Jesus came. But God Can get her unstuck and find a purpose she has never known! She will identify the lies she's internalized, replace those with new truths, and find freedom through realistic, practical, and life-changing strategies. 
    Becky Kiser will use her foundation as a Bible teacher and unique skills as a life coach to take women on a journey tofind freedom from lies as she changes how she thinks,identify what God says is actually true,remember that God is more than capable of doing anything,discover how He has uniquely created her, andpropel her into the abundant life of deep purpose. 
      
    But God Can will show you that you don't have to be enough because God is more than enough! On your own, you can't, but God totally can!
