THE AMISH RANCHER’S RETURN
by New York Times bestselling author Amy Lillard
Called back home to Millers Creek after years away, Isaiah Peight needs to help care for his ill father, sell his parents’ store—and avoid Priscilla Raber. Five years ago, he and Priscilla were betrothed, but she broke his heart and married someone else while he went on rumspringa. Now widowed, she works at Creekside Sundries to support her toddler twins. And she’s not happy about the sale. Seeing Isaiah again stirs up lots of memories, especially when he bonds with her precious girls. Can they ever leave the past behind and forge a new future together?

HIS FOURTH OF JULY BLESSING (A Holiday Haven novel)
by New York Times bestselling author Lee Tobin McClain

Organizing his hometown’s Fourth of July celebration was not part of combat veteran Emilio Mancini’s plan for the summer. But as he and his nieces settle into the family guesthouse of his childhood friend Kitty MacIntyre, he can’t turn down her request. As the single mom helps him figure out how to be a parent to the girls, Kitty’s unaware that the fireworks display she has her heart set on could trigger Emilio’s PTSD. But as their connection deepens and the event draws near, Kitty discovers the truth. Together, they must create a new kind of celebration for the town—one that just might spark something brighter than fireworks…

A MOTHER’S PRAYER (A Sweetwater, Arizona novel)
by Chris Maday Schmidt

Pregnant, single and stranded in a storm with her two young kids, Olive Hart is out of options—until gruff mechanic Hank Valentine comes to their rescue. When her housing falls through, he reluctantly offers them shelter at his ranch in exchange for help at his garage. It’s just a temporary arrangement…but Olive’s chaotic, lovable crew begins to warm his guarded heart. They’ve both been burned by the past, but can they find the courage to build something lasting…together?
