Engaged to an Alaskan Man (An Alaska Romance Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

Love transcends distance, but can it overcome their challenging pasts?

Finn is a widower living on an orchard farm in Alaska. When his best friends die in a tragic accident, he adopts their baby daughter and enlists his sister’s help.

In Arizona, Annie lives as a nanny. The revelation of her late husband’s infidelity devastated her, and it led her to a dark place. She yearns to remarry but guards a secret that has always gotten in the way of finding love.

A mutual friend sets Annie and Finn up, and their email connection starts slowly. Finn meets Annie for the first time in Arizona and sparks fly.

When Annie journeys to Alaska to visit Finn, she is taken aback by the frosty reception she receives from his sister. Fearful of losing her role in the baby’s life, his sister sees Annie as a threat.

Will Annie and Finn overcome the miles separating them to take a chance on love? Or will their painful histories prove too formidable?

Evangeline Kelly

Evangeline Kelly is the pen name I use to write contemporary Christian romance books. I married my husband (my perfect bad boy hero) in my early forties so I understand the longings of a single woman desiring love, as well as the contentment and sweetness of marriage.

And now, a little bit about me. When I was a kid, I had two dreams. One was to work with at risk youth and the other was to write books. After pursuing my passion of working with foster children for over twenty years, I finally decided to pursue my childhood dream of writing. My grandma kept all of my short stories in a box as a keepsake, and I read them occasionally when I need a good laugh. Not only do I love to write, I enjoy the pleasure of sitting down with a good book. I’ve always said that a good book is way better than any movie or television show!

I’ve witnessed suffering in my line of work, but I’ve also witnessed God’s redeeming love. A good Christian romance features both hardship and delight. My hope is that my stories not only entertain, but encourage, and most of all, that they bring glory and honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

All she wants for Christmas is one perfect holi-date, not a calendar mix-up between two tall, dark, Texas cowboys — both claiming to be her blind date!

Everyone assumes trick rider Christie Hart has it all. The truth is her rapid rise to fame has left her exhausted inside and out. So when a position at a small-town rodeo opens up, she jumps at the chance to slow the pace a little. And go on a few blind dates. Not on the same evening, of course! And one of them is most definitely NOT supposed to be with Wes Wakefield:

2. Someone she’s been daydreaming about for years.
3. A guy who doesn’t immediately connect her to the quiet, shy, plus-sized version of her from their first encounter.

Should she play it safe with the blind date she’s never met? Or explore her secret crush on a guy who doesn’t even remember her?

No Time for Detours: A Sweet City Romance (The No Brides Club Book 7) Kindle Edition

What happens when you meet Mr. Right at exactly the WRONG time?

Ava Lewis can take care of herself. Thank you. If only she didn’t need to keep proving that to her well-meaning, but sometimes overbearing family. But now that she’s been provisionally accepted into NYU’s law school, she’s on her way to dispelling their doubts and making her career goal come true. There’s only one problem. To afford that goal, she has to make ends meet.

That’s where Nick Jansen and his unexpected job offer come in. When five-year-old twins are left in his care while their guardian goes off on a month-long honeymoon, he knows he can’t handle the rabble-rousers on his own. Ava, with her early childhood education experience, to the rescue.

After a broken engagement, and repeated words of discouragement from his jaded mother, Nick has accepted that he’s meant to be alone—with the world better off for it. But as the kids warm to Ava, so does he, and he starts to feel some of the ice around his heart melting away. However, when Ava’s full admission to law school is jeopardized, Nick’s inherent need to fix things threatens her independence and her dream of carving out the life she wants.

What it will take to get Ava and Nick off their career-collision course and let love be their guide? Join them in finding the answer in this opposites-attract, single-dad sweet romance.

The No Brides Club is a fun, sassy, and heart-warming series featuring sophisticated women and the men they fall for.

How to convince a woman you just met that a marriage of convenience is the next best step…

Wayne Whitaker (or Chief Lighthorse, as his tribe calls him) is constantly putting out fires on his poverty-stricken, crime-ridden reservation. Many of the old-timers on his council fear it’s because he’s too young, too inexperienced, and too single to run both the tribe and his family’s rodeo business.

While assisting a lovely seamstress on the side of the road, it’s not love at first sight for Wayne. He’s too old for stuff like that. But it’s the beginning of something special that he’s convinced could turn into more.

When he discovers the single mother and her son have fallen on hard times, he sees the perfect opportunity for them to help each other out. He’s as surprised as she is when she says yes to his impromptu marriage proposal. Does it mean she feels a spark of attraction in return? Or will his growing feelings for her end up being yet another fire he’ll have to put out?

No one else has any idea Valerie and Evan dated, and they plan to keep it that way.

All’s fair in love and war…until the man you love to hate throws you in jail.

Etta: Moving to Sweetkiss Creek was supposed to bring me closer to family and offer a fresh start. Instead, it feels like everything is spiraling out of control. First, there’s my mischievous dog who has a knack for escaping and ending up at the police station. Then there’s my ex, who has found away to give me a headache even from miles away. But the cherry on top of this chaotic sundae is Zac Wright, the infuriatingly charming man who also happens to be my nemesis.

Zac: From the moment I laid eyes on Etta McCoy, I knew she was something special. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, but her grumpy attitude could use a makeover. When my boss assigns me to organize a team bonding retreat, I’m unexpectedly partnered with Etta…and the more time we spend together, the more I realize her tough exterior is merely a candy-coated shell, and I want to be the one who cracks through and discovers the sweetness inside.

The Art of Falling in Love with Your Enemy is a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming enemies to lovers romcom with a very grumpy main character, a sweeter than sunshine hero, two Schnauzers and a couple of alpacas. Chemistry and tension collide in this closed-door romance!

The Davenports Box Set: Books 1-4 in the Green Hills Series of Wholesome and Heartfelt, Small-Town Romance Kindle Edition

By Ashli Montgomery

PRE-ORDER: Release Date: November 3, 2023

If you like strong but vulnerable characters, emotional growth, and quaint backdrops, then you’ll adore Virginia’dele Smith’s celebration of joy in the first four books of Green Hills.

Orphaned as children, the Davenports fought their way to success and found a place in Green Hills, a sweet, small-town with mystical qualities of friendship... Now they’ve found home, can Max, M’Kenzee, and Maree each find a love to last forever?

BOOK 1: Grocery Girl

Maree Davenport refuses to let a tearful past rule her future. After losing her parents at the age of five, the big-hearted fabric designer is determined to embrace her feelings and find happiness no matter what. So when she literally runs over a handsome new firefighter in the produce section, the hopeless romantic is certain she’s just collided with destiny.

Everyone Rhys Larsen ever loved has died. And though he may have hit it off with the pretty girl at the store, the haunted EMT knows better than to let her into his heart. But when an accident leaves her wounded and in need of care, he vows to nurse her back to health.

As Maree struggles to break through the grieving man’s walls, she fears his deep-seated superhero complex will make him unreachable. And as Rhys grapples with trying to protect the beautiful woman from his curse, he worries he’ll have to choose between doing the right thing and true love.

Can this conflicted couple reconcile their opposite takes on adversity and find purpose in each other’s arms?

Book 2: In the Trenches

Max Davenport craves a break from the press. Constantly on the run from paparazzi and over-enthusiastic women, the football star takes to the small town of Green Hills to embrace a simpler lifestyle with his sister. But his pulse unexpectedly quickens when he discovers his sibling’s usually frumpy-dressed friend swimming in his backyard pool…opening his eyes to her breathtaking beauty.

Janie Lyn needs to stay under the radar. Desperate to remain hidden for reasons she dare not reveal, she’s thrown when her private crush suddenly shows more than a passing interest. Struggling to resist temptation, she’s terrified to risk her dark secret being exposed in his limelight.

As Max’s attempts to persuade Janie Lyn to be seen out and about with him continuously fail, he fears that their relationship won’t survive her steadfast hesitancy. And when Janie Lyn finally opens up about what she’s dodging, her dangerous past threatens to put both their lives on the line.

Can the couple step into the public eye and still find their happily ever after?

Book 3: Three Times to Make Sure

M’Kenzee Davenport knows love doesn’t last. So despite marrying her high school crush on a whim in Vegas, the gritty photojournalist never believed the union was real. But when her husband-in-name-only goes missing on a mission for the FBI, she’s stunned to receive his effects as next-of-kin.

Poring through his childhood journals, M’Kenzee discovers to her amazement that the handsome G-man has loved her forever.

Will M’Kenzee be reunited with the man of her dreams?

Book 4: Take a Chance on Love

Dr. Landry Stark is hamstrung by trauma. After escaping abuse as a teen, the saucy physician doesn’t dare reach for anything beyond the sense of belonging she’s found in small-town Oklahoma. And though she enjoys flirting with her firefighter bestie, she knows better than to give in to her feelings… until in the wake of tragedy, he steals a kiss.

Daniel Davis’s roots run deep. Convinced his parents’ wedded joy is too rare to duplicate, the six-foot-tall boy-next-door’s delight over finally claiming his beautiful friend’s lips wars with worry that they’ll ruin their easy companionship. And the tension mounts when he convinces her to move in so they can temporarily foster a child hurt in a devastating explosion.

Can they turn a terrible disaster into happily ever after?

After she moves them to the small town of Hidden Veil, she discovers the noble but disturbing plans that her new boss, Lane Becker, has for his ranch. Fearing for her son’s safety as he becomes attached to the horseman, Macie chooses to leave before Lane’s interference endangers Alex’s physical and emotional health. But she hadn’t counted on how hard that would be on her son . . . or her heart.

He’s looking for atonement for his brother’s death.
As an equine therapy center, Lane’s property will aid veterans suffering from PTSD and honor his brother’s death in Afghanistan, hopefully, lessening Lane’s guilt. When he finds a feisty but troubled widow occupying the space he needs for the center, Lane wants to move her out. But after witnessing her son’s frightening anxiety attack, he’s convinced the Newmans are where they need to be, as long as he can control his pull toward Macie. He can’t allow himself to be distracted by a love he doesn’t deserve.

How can Lane help the boy and his mother conquer their fears without jeopardizing a second person’s life?

Get to know the couples who navigate the joys and pitfalls of life and love in their quaint and tight-knit southern hometown of Hidden Veil, North Carolina.

INTERVIEW WITH SANDRA ARDOIN

By Lisa Loucks-Christenson, Sweet Romance Book Bargains

September 30, 2023

Hi. I’m Sandra Ardoin, the author of A Horseman’s Mission, the second book in my Hidden Veil Hometown series. For more information about my books, check out my website at www.sandraardoin.com. It’s where you can also sign up to receive my newsletter.

What is your best compliment you’ve received from readers or fans?

I write Christian fiction, so the greatest compliment I’ve had was from a woman who read A Musician’s Heart, Book One in the Hidden Veil Hometown series. She told me how much that story spoke to her, which is wonderful to hear when it comes to the desire to minister to God’s people through fiction. She didn’t go into detail, but part of the hero’s journey involves being open to where God is leading and not rejecting His will because we think it isn’t something we want to do.

Do you know the ending of your books when you write the opening chapters?

Well, I write romance, so I always know it will end with a happily-ever-after. My job is to get the characters to that point. I’ll usually have a vague idea of how that will happen, but I’m not an in-depth plotter.

Without sharing the ending, why did you choose the HEA or HFN ending in your latest book?

Great question. The heroine in A Horseman’s Mission deals with an intense fear for her son, who suffers from anxiety attacks. The hero suffers from guilt over his past behavior regarding his brother. I knew the climax would need to stoke that fear and guilt, so I put them in a position where that would happen and they would need to work through their issues.

Sandra will be an upcoming guest on Lisa’s Walk The Talk Show Sweet Romance Book Bargains Segment. Watch the newsletters, or check here: www.LisaLC.Live
