A FAMILY FOR THE AMISH ORPHANS (An Amish of Lost River novel)
by New York Times bestselling author Jo Ann Brown

Daryn Yutzy’s three orphaned nieces are now his responsibility—but the Amish bachelor is clueless when it comes to raising little girls, especially one who refuses to speak. When kindhearted food-trailer owner Carrie Detweiler coaxes smiles from them with french fries, he turns to her for assistance. Carrie agrees to help the grieving children—if Daryn helps out her troubled teenage cousin. Carrie has always been focused on business instead of marriage, and Daryn’s still reeling from a past betrayal. Yet working together stirs something neither expected. Can they open their hearts to a future they never planned for?

Then she comes face-to-face with the man she never thought she’d see again. Noah Ross broke Abby’s teenage heart. Now she wants nothing to do with the handsome veterinarian. But when Noah’s in danger of getting evicted from his condo because of his two Hungarian vizsla dogs, Abby reluctantly allows him and his K-9s to spend time on their property. Charlotte immediately bonds with the sweet dogs. Will Abby ever forgive the past and embrace a fresh start?

by Louise M. Gouge

But rodeo queen June Mattson knows the price of chasing glory, and as Peanut’s Sunday school teacher, she worries Raeder is risking too much. Yet when the Riverton Stampede loses its star, June surprises them both by tossing Raeder’s name into the ring. As they work to save the town’s biggest event, friendship turns to something deeper. Can they overcome fear and pride to build the family they both long for?
