An inferno meant to destroy…
Blackwell Tactical operator and former criminalist Samantha Willis discovers forensic evidence to prove her friend has been murdered. But before she can gather the evidence, an explosion erupts and a fiery inferno traps her in a building. She helplessly watches the evidence go up in flames and prays that she can escape before the encroaching flames take her life.
Or an act of revenge…
Firefighter and former Navy SEAL Matt Griffin knew his friend’s death was no accident, and he arrives at the building to gather his own evidence. But he sees the building engulfed in flames and discovers a familiar car parked in the lot. Sam, his former girlfriend, had to be trapped inside. Despite his training, despite his captain’s protest, Griff takes off without a threat assessment, risking his life to enter the building and drag Sam to safety. When he does, he can’t help but wonder if the fire was set to destroy evidence or if it was set to kill Sam. Either way, if Sam survives, he vows to hunt down the answer.

Cole Barrett, former Army Ranger, has a new mission objective. Sell his grandfather’s house and put Deep Haven in his rearview mirror as fast as possible. Deep Haven holds the hurts of physical abuse at the hands of his grandfather, a man now in a memory care facility with dementia. Recently divorced, single, and unattached, Cole just wants a new life as a US Marshal. One where he can forget the past and start new.
Unfortunately, there’s a tenant in the garage apartment who’s refusing to move. Even worse? It’s his childhood crush, Megan Carter, and her son.
She’s waited years for her first love to return.
Wedding planner and single mom Megan Carter is no stranger to Deep Haven. To her, it’s the place where she makes dreams come true—at least, everyone else’s. Her big dream is to purchase the Black Spruce Bed & Breakfast to turn it into a premier event venue and, if she can stay booked for enough weddings over winter, she’ll have enough money to buy the inn, move out of Grandpa Barrett’s garage apartment, and finally give her nine-year-old son, Josh, the life he deserves. After using part of her intended down payment to cover his hockey fees, she’s behind on her Black Spruce funds and only has thirty days to come up with four thousand dollars.
Still, she’s oh, so close…until her childhood friend-slash-crush, Cole Barrett, returns to Deep Haven. Unfortunately, he’s not back to fulfill a silly childhood promise to marry her, but she never expected him to evict her! The last thing she needs is more expenses. Or for another man to walk into her heart…and break it.
Maybe it’s never to late to finish a love story…
When a blizzard strikes Deep Haven, and Megan is overrun with wedding catastrophes, it takes a former Ranger to step in and help. But the more he comes to her rescue, the sooner she’ll be able to move out…and he can move on.
And that’s what they both want, right?
Return to Deep Haven with this magical tale about the one who got away…and came back.

His Accidental Amish Family (Unexpected Amish Blessings)
by Rachel J. Good (Author)
- Publisher : Zebra
- Mass Market Paperback : 352 pages
- ISBN-13 : 978-1420150469
In the picturesque Amish community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, life's detours may prove the path to true happiness...
After a buggy accident when she was a teenager, Anna Flaud was told she would never walk again. Unwilling to be an object of pity, she put aside her dreams of marriage and found purpose as an assistant at a Community Care Center. Now she has a chance to fulfill her dearest wish--motherhood--and adopt three siblings with special needs. Yet the opportunity comes with a condition Anna isn't sure she can meet: finding a husband.
Levi King began working at the center as penance after a careless mistake led to tragedy. Though he's dealing with his own heartbreak, he's drawn to Anna, cheering her on as she strives to regain her mobility. Her quiet determination, her generous heart--these are qualities to cherish in a wife. Still, Anna's plans give him pause. Given his past, Levi hardly trusts himself to care for one child, let alone three. Yet together, perhaps they could forge a family made sturdier by all they've overcome...
Marilyn’s thoughts:
His Accidental Amish Family is the third book in Good’s
Unexpected Amish Blessings series. Anna and Gabe were in the previous book, His
Pretend Amish Bride, but had a significant place in this book.
Anna’s move to Bird-in-Hand area brought her in contact with
Levi King as her therapist. She had one goal in mind and that was to walk in
front of Gabe, her former boyfriend before the accident that left her confined
to a wheelchair. Levi is drawn to Anna but his past will not allow him to
consider marriage and children. I really enjoyed Levi’s twelve year old brother
Jonah that had suffered a trauma which affected him for life. There are twists
and turns with the characters that made you wonder how they would come
together. Will Anna and Levi be able to move forward and find forgiveness,
healing of their broken spirit and renewed faith?
Personally having work with foster parents and foster
children, I appreciated the way Good’s incorporation of foster children and the
issues they face along with the challenges of fostering children was presented.
Good’s research of physical therapy sessions and client’s goals and the foster
system are well researched. I was surprised by some of the events in the final
chapters but it’s realistic even though some are against the way the story went.
Thank you to
NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC e-book without any obligation
to write a positive review. I have expressed my own opinion. I look forward to
reading more of Good’s stories in the future.

The Desires of Our Hearts by B J Bassett
Take delight in the Lord, and he will
give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
In the early 1970s, I was
a member of a megachurch. I sat in the sanctuary every Sunday and worshiped my
Lord. The bulletin contained a sheet with seven short devotionals to read
during the following week.
I prayed, “Lord, I sure
would like to be able to write devotionals.” But I didn’t even know where to start.
Plus, my plate was full with raising a family and working.
I later learned how to
express myself briefly with a short meditation, including appropriate Scripture
and a prayer. At first, the local newspaper published my devotionals. Later, I
wrote them for numerous denominational booklets, and today I continue to write
them for Pathways to God.
A couple of years ago, I
felt God’s call to write a devotional book. I answered His call. The result is The King’s Daughters—A Women’s Devotional.
God doesn’t always give
us the desires of our hearts immediately. Sometimes it takes a long time. But
He’s always right on time—His time.
Blessings as you seek Him
and the desires of your heart.
Father, You are always right on time.
Thank You for all Your promises in Your Word and for giving me the desires of
my heart. Amen.
