| Jill's Proposals |
When Shelby Beaumont moves back to her hometown of Grand Rapids, Ohio,
she's determined to build an animal rescue facility with the settlement she
received from her mother's death. She longs to recapture memories of her
mom and to connect with her best friend. But she arrives to a house full of
dead mice, a town full of rumors about her, and a best friend who has clearly
moved on.
Mike Laingley, head of Laingley Construction, needs to land Shelby's project
to pay his bills and avoid bankruptcy, even if it means putting up with her
widely-discussed paranoia. He tries to avoid drama and confrontation but, as
he gets to know her, his protective nature overpowers his urge to run.
After the trauma of losing her mom, Shelby's convinced herself God wants her
to be alone, and as she grows closer to Mike, she tries to push him away.
Strange incidents abound at her farm, but Mike and Shelby are too busy
fighting their feelings for each other to piece together the fact someone wants
her dead. Will they realize they love each other before it's too late?

A Barter…Or Life Sentence?
The thought of exercising with a hunky personal trainer makes Darcy
Collins break out in hives. But when Ian Halbrook asks her to mentor his
withdrawn twelve-year-old daughter in exchange for training sessions, how
can she say no? Sweet, shy Michaela clearly needs a woman to talk to,
and Darcy yearns to get in shape.
A barter arrangement with compassionate Darcy seems perfect—Ian gets
a feminine influence for his daughter without the emotional baggage a
girlfriend would bring. But he never anticipated that he and Michaela would
grow so attached to the spunky hairstylist. Attached enough to consider
revealing his guilty secret.
Neither bartered for love, but with Ian by her side, Darcy just might accept
herself…for better or for worse.

| The Lies that Bind |
Blake LaMont and Ella Jannson rush to Houston when their mothers become
embroiled in freeing Antonia, a victim of human trafficking. Blake avoids being
in the same room as his religious mother for the same reason he steers clear
of salmonella--both induce stomach cramps--but someone has to talk her out
of her foolish quest.
When Ella, Miss Bible Class herself, joins the women's hunt to save Antonia,
Blake stays in Houston to protect them. He needles them to quit, but as the
week progresses, compassion kicks in and he decides to help. Can he release
his anger toward his mother in time to save Antonia? And will he embrace his
faith to be the Christian man of integrity Ella deserves?

| Twelve Days of Hope |
Jobless, broke, and miserable, Lindsey Kriesner returns to her picture-perfect
hometown Frankenmuth, Michigan to stay with her parents for the holidays.
She immediately bumps into her high school sweetheart Patrick Bachmeyer,
and her reasons for leaving him roar back. He needs an ambitious, intelligent
woman—not a failure like her. However, her meddling, worried sister
disagrees and prods her to reach out to him.
A workaholic, Patrick fears opening his heart and being abandoned again, the
way his mother and Lindsey left him years ago. He’s stunned to see Lindsey
right before Thanksgiving and even more surprised when she shows up on his
doorstep with a proposal. She’ll get his mind off his all-encompassing job, and
he’ll make her forget her lack of employment—just until Christmas.
Patrick’s world switches from dull gray to Technicolor with Lindsey around,
and Lindsey sees herself in a different light through Patrick’s eyes. But will it
be enough to open their hearts for a love that lasts beyond the twelve days of
Christmas?
