Jacob Hochstetler is a peace-loving Amish settler on the
Pennsylvania frontier when Native American warriors, goaded on by
the hostilities of the French and Indian War, attack his family one
September night in 1757. Taken captive by the warriors and grieving
for the family members just killed, Jacob finds his beliefs about
love and nonresistance severely tested.
Jacob endures a hard winter as a prisoner in an Indian
longhouse. Meanwhile, some members of his congregation the first
Amish settlement in America move away for fear of further
attacks.
Based on actual events, Jacob's Choice describes how one man's
commitment to pacifism leads to a season of captivity, a
complicated romance, an unrelenting search for missing family
members, and an astounding act of forgiveness and
reconciliation.
'Wonderfully romantic' Sandy BarkerEscape to the breath-taking
beauty of Venice - The City of Love. When pragmatic, sensible and
resolutely single Deirdre York (Didi to her friends) is sent to
Venice for work she is determined not to be taken in by the
romantic cliches. Winter in the floating city may be breathtakingly
beautiful, but she's here with a clear purpose and will not let the
magic of Venice distract her. Piero Zanetti is the epitome of the
handsome yet tortured artist. Heart-broken by the end of his love
affair with a glamorous opera singer, he has lost his ability to
work, and his inspiration has drained away, along with his zest for
life. But Didi needs Piero working - she has been tasked with
commissioning him to do a glass centrepiece for a luxury department
store display - some how Didi has to cheer Piero up or at least
find him a new muse... As Didi and Piero slowly become friends, and
as Venice starts to melt Didi's heart and gently nudge Piero out of
the blues, something special begins to happen. Can Venice - the
City of Love - work a miracle and help Didi and Piero to find their
happiness at last... Leonie Mack is back with the most gloriously
romantic escape, perfect for all fans of Mandy Baggot, Jo Thomas
and Carole Matthews. 'Leonie has written another gorgeous love
letter to Italy. She's fast becoming a favourite of mine with her
warm, relatable heroines, beautiful settings and brooding romantic
heroes. I cannot wait to return to Venice for Norah's story.' Sarah
Bennett What readers are saying about Leonie Mack: 'I read a lot of

Eden Tong is used to feeling out of place. Growing up next door to
Greshamsbury Manor, she spent her days in the shadow of the chilly
matriarch Arabella and her children: free-spirited Augie, golden child
Bea, and Rufus, Eden’s childhood best friend.
When she receives an invite to a luxurious wedding in Hawaii, she finds
herself thrown back into the family’s orbit: and face-to-face with
Rufus. The future Earl is gorgeous, artistic, and – unbeknownst to Eden
– desperately in love with her.
But his mother has other plans. Arabella knows the terrible truth – the
Greshamsbury family is drowning in debt. Rufus needs to find a match
with serious money to keep them afloat. Arabella is prepared to destroy
anyone who gets in her way. Including Eden . . .
Lies and Wedding transports its reader from the white-sand beaches of
Hawaii to the colourful medinas of Marrakech, via the glitzy bachelor
pads of Beverly Hills and opulent English countryside manors. This is a
hilarious, juicy, and page-turning story about love and money – and the
lies we tell to keep them.
