Experience the magic of Christmas with two enchanting romances set in small towns.
Sweet Yuletide
Desperate to escape her new stepfamily over the holidays, Sheridan DeMarco decides to housesit in a quaint coastal town. Her dream of spending Christmas alone, however, is shattered when she finds herself sharing the cozy beach cottage with a stranger, Michael “Mikey” Patterson. A kiss under the mistletoe thwarts their plan to keep their distance and draws them closer. But love might not be enough to conquer family complications.
His Christmas Wish
Spending the holidays in Hood Hamlet is the last thing Carly Bishop wants to do. Her hometown is full of painful memories of lost loved ones, but her family needs help. Jake Porter, her late brother’s best friend, is a mountain rescuer burdened by guilt. He believes he can help Carly find her lost Christmas spirit. As their growing closeness ignites a romance, Jake must convince her—and himself—that he’s worthy of love.

Her Uncle’s mysterious death reveals a web of intrigue and clues that lead to a devious criminal mind who is watching her every move…

The only thing Jordyn Mack hates more than small towns is football players. But when her boss sends her on a mission to recruit “Heartbreak Harper” for their Super Bowl commercial, she’s brought face-to-face with both.
Beckett Harper is sick of it all: the tabloids, the celebrity of being a football player, the social climbing women. At his family’s farm in Picketts, he can finally lie low—until Jordyn comes crashing in just before an impending blizzard.
The storm hits hard. The power goes out. And the ice between them must melt—before Jordyn leaves for good.

Soul Stages: Surviving and Thriving in the Second Half of Life (affiliate link)
What would it be like to live the second half of your life with real enthusiasm?
Each stage of life is a “soul stage,” filled with its own promises, challenges and opportunities. With humor and a generous sharing of personal anecdotes drawn from over forty years in ministry, Chris Moore speaks to the challenges of adults attempting not only to survive but even thrive during the latter part of their journey. He gently encourages readers to draw inspiration and relevance from the vibrant personalities of the Bible, even as we navigate modern challenges.
Soul Stages is written for people who want affirmation that the second half of life presents different challenges and opportunities than the first but is no less fulfilling. Readers will be able to see transitions as opportunities for spiritual and emotional growth, rather than as problems to be solved.
Cookies & Cocktails: Drink, Dunk & Devour (affiliate link)
Sip luscious libations and satisfy your sweet tooth with these 50 amazing recipe pairings featuring creamy cocktails and delicious desserts—written by a seasoned food writer.
Milk and cookies are a classic. There’s no better culinary combination than a sweet, crumbly, and warm cookie colliding with a rich, cool, creamy liquid…the extraordinary contrast of temperature, texture, and flavor wow and delight our senses. It’s no wonder that people have been dunking and drinking for decades.
But somehow, this magical combination became associated with childhood—a pairing reserved for after-school snacks or Christmas Eve treats for Santa. But, no more! A new era has begun. Retro cocktails are more popular than ever (hello, Harvey Wallbanger?) and like mad scientists, bartenders everywhere are crafting cocktails that tap into milk-and-cookie nostalgia too. If you’ve ever thought a Girl Scout cookie would taste great with a boozy beverage or wished you could order Cereal Milk Punch at your local watering hole, then this book is for you.
The Country Village Allotment: Escape to Little Bramble (affiliate link)
At eighty-two years old Zelda Grey is tired. Tired of how much slower she is physically and mentally. Tired of technology. Tired of being alone since her beloved cat, Flint, died just before Christmas. And tired of life. The only thing that brings Zelda joy these days is her allotment in the gorgeous village of Little Bramble, where she has lived her whole life, and her three cranky goats.
Widow Mia Holmes always loved visiting Little Bramble Allotment with her husband, Gideon. But since his death she can’t motivate herself. Despite putting on a brave face for her three sons and four grandchildren, she’s reached breaking point, and isn’t sure she can carry on.
Every Hidden Thing: A Novel (affiliate link)
Big city politics, nasty secrets, a dirty cop, and a deranged sociopath set the stage for a riveting journey deep into the urban jungle.
The last scion of a once-powerful political family, Worcester mayor John O’Toole has his sights set on vastly higher aspirations. When night shift paramedic Thomas Archer uncovers a secret that could upend the mayor’s career, O’Toole is set on silencing him, and sends Eamon Conroy, a brutal former cop, to ensure the truth remains under wraps.
But O’Toole doesn’t stop there. With bribes, buried secrets, and personal attacks, he wreaks havoc on Archer’s life in an attempt to save himself. Archer’s troubles continue to mount when domestic terrorist and militia member Gerald Knak, who blames Archer for his wife’s recent death, sets in motion a deadly plan for revenge.
There’s no need for expensive, high-tech lab equipment to conduct chemistry experiments—you probably have all you need in your home junk drawer. Turn an old LED flashlight into an Energy Drink Tester using aluminum foil and electrical tape. Mix cornstarch and water to make Non-Newtonian Goo. Use a 9-volt battery and thumbtacks to break water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Create edible Sweet Crystals from a saturated sugar solution. Or construct your own Three-Penny Battery from galvanized washers, pennies, vinegar, and scrap cardboard.
Here are more than 50 great hands-on experiments that can be performed for just pennies . . . or less.
