Throughout the years that Veritas has spent trying to rear me,
there's one essential truth she's always stuck to. 'Love is
stronger than mountains.' My mother's name meant truth. But could
any of us trust her to tell the truth about our family?' Can Ruth
and her sister Mary discover lasting love for themselves amid the
chaos of their large bohemian family? And what about their
eccentric mother? Could they find a new love for her too? After the
hardships of the 50s, how will any of them experience the new
freedoms of the swinging 60s? As Ruth stands at the altar promising
love to a young man till the end of life, under her breath she
makes a vow: to set down everything of the past, the reality of a
girlhood constantly touched by sadness, yet always profoundly
secure.

Seven years ago, Cambri Blaine fled her small hometown of Bridger,
Colorado after her senior year of high school ended in a fiasco.
But now her father needs help, and Cambri has no choice but to
return home. So with trepidation, she takes a leave of absence from
the landscape architecture firm where she works and heads home,
hoping against hope that Jace Sutton is no longer around and that
the past can stay where it belongs-in the past. If only life worked
that way. Jace never expected to see Cambri again. After she walked
out of his life without a backward glance, he was left with no
choice but to try to forget her and move on. But now that Cambri is
back and looking more beautiful and sophisticated than ever, some
of those old feelings resurface, and Jace instinctively knows, for
the sake of his heart, that he needs to avoid her at all costs. If
only it were that easy. The Ripple Effect Romance Series Enjoy this
exciting new series of clean novellas by six critically-acclaimed
authors. "Like a pebble tossed into calm water, a simple act can
ripple outward and have a far-reaching effect on those we meet,
perhaps setting a life on a different course- one filled with
excitement, adventure, and sometimes even love." Book 1: Home
Matters by Julie N. Ford Book 2: Silver Linings by Kaylee Baldwin
Book 3: Righting A Wrong by Rachael Anderson Book 4: Lost and Found
by Karey White Book 5: Second Chances 101 by Donna K. Weaver Book

After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art
school, Emma Makie's hard work finally pays off with the offer of a
dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make
a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody
of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea
how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn't about to let
that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin
Grantham, her handsome neighbor, who seems to think she's incapable
of doing anything on her own. Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of
a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn't
afraid to show him that he doesn't. It's about learning what it
means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing
that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with.
Sometimes, love picks them.
