Series: Hope Crossing #6
Author: Mindy Obenhaus
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: November 26, 2024
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

She feels she’s lost everything…
Will love give her hope?

When a wildfire destroys her home, widowed schoolteacher Tori Stallings finds herself unexpectedly living with her mother- and brother-in-law—and struggling with her faith. With everything Tori owns consumed by the blaze, Micah vows to help his late brother’s wife and son rebuild their lives. The two of them have always been friends, but living under the same roof has their friendship turning into something more. Can love bloom amid tragic loss and shaken beliefs, and give them a fresh start for Christmas?

Excerpt

Looking from the devastation to Tori, he noticed she was shaking. Her face contorted as tears spilled onto her cheeks.

“Tori?” When he set an arm around her shoulders, she turned into him, sobbing.

He held her close, letting her cry, whispering words meant to soothe though likely not helping at all. Tori was more than his sister-in-law, she was his friend. And while his brother had routinely left Tori alone to handle whatever life had thrown her way, Micah couldn’t bring himself to do that. Not now. Not ever.

As sorrow continued to rack her body, Micah ached for his friend. Longed to take away her pain. Yet, for as much as it aggrieved him to see her like this, he also knew it marked the beginning of the healing process. A process that could take months. Even years.

But she wouldn’t have to do it alone. No matter how uncomfortable it might make him, Micah would do whatever it took to see Tori and Aiden happy again.

About The Book

Title: Investigation of a Journalist
Series: Harbored in Crow’s Nest #6
Author: Danielle Grandinetti
Publisher: Hearth Spot Press
Release Date: November 19, 2024
Genre: Christian Historical Romance/Suspense

A second chance to set the record straight, and rekindle a lost love.

Wisconsin, 1931—Buck Wilson refuses to accept failure as his reward for all he has sacrificed, but he’s kept secrets for too long to be believed. With his freedom on the line, there’s only one person he trusts to mine for the true story: the woman he left one month before their wedding.

All investigative journalist Caroline Wagoneer wants is to shine a light on the truth wherever darkness threatens to obscure it. Which is the only reason she agrees to help her ex-fiance when he begs for her to go undercover in Crow’s Nest. What she discovers paints Buck in a whole new light.

With lies and rumor hemming them in, Buck and Caroline realize their love may be doomed on the altar of altruism.

Unless love can truly conquer all.

Welcome to Crow’s Nest, where danger and romance meet at the water’s edge.

Excerpt

Buck Wilson did not deserve a second chance. He knew it down to his marrow, yet here he stood, outside Chicago’s Union Station, in the very town where he’d left all his hopes and dreams. The detective who wanted to arrest him at his side.

He adjusted his fedora to cover more of his face. “If they find out I’m here, you know what they’ll do.”

“I reckon so.” Michael O’Connor braced his hands on his belt and looked around, neck craning to see the tall buildings around them. “You liked it here?”

“Let’s go, O’Connor. Quit acting like a tourist.” Buck tugged at his collar. The heat was more oppressive here in the city than up in Crow’s Nest. He couldn’t wait to leave, to return to the small Wisconsin town that had become home. But first, he had to face the one person he thought he’d never see again.

“I could have done this by myself, you know.” O’Connor kept up with Buck’s brisk pace.

“I know.” Buck turned his back on the Chicago River and headed west down Jackson. He needed the walk, even if it meant arriving looking wrung out. Frankly, he wasn’t entirely sure he wouldn’t be tossed out on his rear. He deserved nothing less. But he needed to face her like a man, not send the detective to do his dirty work.
