Faith
The Civil War battlefield is the last place Quakeress Faith Cathwell thought she'd find herself. But with a gift for nursing, Faith seizes this opportunity to join the fight for abolition -- and to search for Shiloh, a freeborn childhood friend who was kidnapped and sold south by unscrupulous slave catchers. Knowing it's much too dangerous for her to search enemy territory alone, Faith enlists the help of Colonel Devlin Knight, who is indebted to her for saving his cousin's life. A career soldier, Dev is committed to the preservation of the Union but conflicted about freeing his own slave and confidant, who plans to enlist as soon as Dev gives him manumission papers. Blazing a trail east with the rest of Grant's army, Dev and Faith fight their personal battles -- and a growing attraction to each other. When beliefs clash and passions flare, they quickly find that the only thing more dangerous than the war surrounding them is the battle within their hearts.
The Preacher's Daughter
Was she the answer to his prayers? Pastor Tanner Bond needed to break town the barriers between his congregation and the Mexican-Americans who had recently moved to Pleasant Prairie.

She was determined to help Tanner understand his new Hispanic residents, but she was also his complete opposite -- impulsive and confident, while he pondered and prayed before acting. Growing up as a "preacher's kid," Lucie had resented the restrictions put on her. She didn't want to have feelings for Tanner. . .even though she did. Would her rush to bring harmony do more harm than good? And would the preacher's daughter realize she's make a perfect pastor's wife?
