Bella Cove

A woman gets a second chance at love, but her family’s secrets could ruin everything—from the author of Risking Her Heart. Bella Cove toy store owner Kayla Conway has given up everything—graduate school and a fiancé—to spend the past two years taking care of her family in the aftermath of her grandma’s death. More than anything, she wants children of her own, not just the ones that visit her toy shop. But that dream died when she chose her family over her fiancé two years ago. But when ex- fiancé, Gabe Wademan, turns out to be the one who inherited the lease on Kayla’s toy shop, she seizes this chance to win him back . . . Gabe was shattered when Kayla left him to take care of her family, leaving him with nothing more than vague explanations. And he’s not thrilled about being her landlord—and her neighbor. His plan is for the two of them to have as little contact as possible. But Bella Cove is a small town, and old feelings stir to life as their paths cross more frequently. Kayla makes it her mission to show Gabe she’s the same woman he fell in love with back at school—just a little older and a lot braver. And if he gives their relationship a second chance, she promises she’ll never leave him again. But when Gabe gets close to her family, Kayla is terrified that he will discover their secrets. Her heart couldn’t handle losing him a second time—especially since this time it would be forever.

But his marriage was wrecked by his wife's morphine addiction, and Dr. Gochenour left on six years of self-imposed exile in the American colonies of Alaska, Panama, and Philippines.

Immigration is changing the face of rural America, from Florida to Washington and from Maine to California. Migrants arrive, many from Mexico, to fill jobs on farms and in farm-related industries, usually at earnings below the poverty. Leaders of rural industries are adamant that a steady influx of foreign workers is necessary for economic survival. But the integration of these newcomers is uneven: many immigrants achieve some measure of the American dream, but others find persistent poverty, overcrowded housing, and crime. The New Rural Poverty examines the effect of rural immigration on inland agricultural areas in California, farm areas in coastal California, and meat and poultry processing centers in Delaware and Iowa. The authors examine the interdependencies between immigrants and agriculture in the United States, explore the policy challenges and options, and assess how current proposals for immigration reform will affect rural America.

Bella’s Wish is a sweet but sizzling Valentine’s suspense romance novella that proves there is always a chance for true love even if it’s the second time around. A man starting over. A woman running from her past. A little girl with one wish. Life was unpredictable. Kade Walker knew this too well. His future had been planned, his goals at the cusp of being achieved until fate intervened. Now, as the new Sheriff of Marion County, he was forced to start over, forced to create new plans and new goals. Perhaps in the process, he’d find his way back to being human. He might even find a date for Valentine’s Day for the first time in six years. Life was unpredictable. Shay Falkner knew this too well. She had been happy and on the verge of getting married, but witnessing a violent murder changed all of that and she was forced to run. Forced to start over. Forced to create new plans—in witness protection. Perhaps in the process, she would find someone to show her she deserved to be loved. She might even find a date for Valentine’s Day for the first time in two years. Bella only had one wish—something she desired above all else—something she wanted even more than to meet Santa Claus—she wanted a new mom … and Shay was it. But as always, life was unpredictable. Shay’s past came back to threaten to destroy everything just when the new plans were unfolding into a beautiful love story. Would Kade and Shay be forced apart? Forced to start over again? Would Bella’s wish come true this Valentine’s Day, or was fate about to intervene as it always did? Editor’s Note: Bella’s wish will have any woman who knows the meaning of being loved by a good man swooning at everything that is Kade. From a good father, to a good son, provider for his family, and swoon worthy to boot, your heart might just melt into a puddle this Valentine’s Day…or maybe the puddle is from something else... Not your typical fare, this is a light, touching story with a peppering of suspense and a dash of hot and heavy, where good triumphs over evil and love always wins. ​This story is a part of Forever Yours holiday collection.

Crime and adventure on the high seas Jared Kane is a West Coast commercial fisherman whose life has been plagued by bad luck and blackout drinking. When he inherits Arrow, an old 46-foot wooden sailboat, he sees a chance for redemption. With his friend from prison, Danny MacLean, Jared plans an offshore voyage, sailing from Vancouver down the Pacific Coast to California and out into the South Pacific. But that bad luck rears its ugly head: Danny is attacked and left for dead, and when the unknown assailants attempt to finish the job, Jared is forced to flee aboard Arrow with Danny lying helpless in his berth, under the erratic care of his grandfather, a Haida elder who won’t speak English. On the search for safe haven with the would-be killers hot on their tail, Jared finds himself with no good choices but to run south — ill-prepared, poorly provisioned, and crewed by a silent old man and an injured friend strapped into his bunk.
