When mail-order bride Juniper's husband vanishes, she writes to
him-but fears she's waiting for a ghost in a ghost town. A century
later, Johnny Sutherland discovers her letters while restoring her
abandoned farmhouse. Can her loving words from the distant past
change his present? 1902: Upon arriving in Kenworthy, California,
mail-order bride Juniper Cohen is met by the pounding of the gold
mine, an untamable landscape, and her greatest surprise of all: the
kind and charming man who awaits her. But when the mine proves
empty of profit, and when Juniper's husband, John, vanishes,
Juniper is left to fend for herself and her young daughter in the
dying town that is now her home. Juniper pens letters to her
husband but fears she is waiting on a ghost. Perhaps worse, rumors
abound claiming the man she loves could be an outlaw. Fighting for
survival, she befriends the few people left in Kenworthy and
refuses to leave, resolving to be exactly where her husband left
her in case he comes home. Surviving in a ghost town requires
trusting the kindness of a few remaining souls, including the one
who can unlock the mystery of her husband's disappearance. Present
day: Trying to escape the heartache of his failed marriage, Johnny
Sutherland throws himself into raising his children and restoring a
hundred-year-old abandoned farmhouse in what was once known as
Kenworthy in the San Jacinto Mountains. While exploring its secrets
he uncovers Juniper's letters and is moved by the handwritten
accounts that bear his name-and as a love story from the past
touches his own world, Johnny might discover yet that hope and
resilience go hand in hand. With The Gold in These Hills, acclaimed
and beloved author Joanne Bischof returns with an absorbing
masterpiece of faith, perseverance, and love that changes the
course of history. Sweeping, Inspirational fiction with historical
and contemporary timelines Stand-alone novel Book length: 93,000

survive. Her name is Amara. Welcome to the Wolf Den... Amara was

family into penury. Now she is a slave in Pompeii's infamous
brothel, owned by a man she despises. Sharp, clever and
resourceful, Amara is forced to hide her talents. For as a
she-wolf, her only value lies in the desire she can stir in others.
But Amara's spirit is far from broken. By day, she walks the
streets with her fellow she-wolves, finding comfort in the laughter
and dreams they share. For the streets of Pompeii are alive with
opportunity. Out here, even the lowest slave can secure a reversal

"I've loved every one of Susanna's books! She has bedrock research
and a butterfly's delicate touch with characters-a sure recipe for
historical fiction that sucks you in and won't let go!"-DIANA
GABALDON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander From
New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Susanna
Kearsley-A magical novel that blends history, forbidden romance and
the paranormal Secrets aren't such easy things to keep: It's late
summer in 1759, war is raging, and families are torn apart by
divided loyalties and deadly secrets. In this complex and dangerous
time, a young French-Canadian lieutenant is captured and billeted
with a Long Island family, an unwilling and unwelcome guest. As he
begins to pitch in with the never-ending household tasks and farm
chores, Jean-Philippe de Sabran finds himself drawn to Lydia, the
daughter of the house. Slowly, Lydia Wilde discovers that
Jean-Philippe is a true soldier and gentleman, until their lives
become inextricably intertwined. Legend has it that the forbidden
love between Jean-Philippe and Lydia ended tragically, but
centuries later, the clues they left behind reveal the true story.
Susanna Kearsley's books combine the magic of Deborah Harkness's
All Souls Trilogy, the remarkable women of Lucinda Riley's Seven
Sisters Series, and the intrigue of books by Simone St. James. Part
history, part romance, and all kinds of magic, Susanna Kearsley's
latest masterpiece will draw you in and never let you go, even long
after you've turned the last page. Also by Susanna Kearsley: The
