A New Heart
(Georgia Peaches Book 5)
by Lisa Prysock
When Ms. Pepper Anne Barrington isn’t driving her convertible Aston Martin or writing her bestselling mysteries, she’s busy solving real-life dilemmas happening to her three grown children or the guests visiting her Atlanta bed and breakfast, Edgewater Coventry B & B. It seems to Miss Pepper, there’s always an air of romance, mystery, and perhaps a little adventure and mayhem at the restored 19th century plantation.
When her writer friend, Jade Burton, needs a place of refuge from a murder committed at the World War II house museum she inherited, Pepper offers her Brook Cottage as a temporary respite, no questions asked. After all, it’s nearly time to celebrate the holidays with Thanksgiving and Christmas upon them, and it’s what friends do for each other. However, Jade arrives at the B & B deeply disturbed, skittish, unusually quiet, and fairly certain she’s being followed at every turn.
Agent Ethan Hughes has a stellar track record with the FBI. He’s brought every criminal to the halls of justice on each case he’s been assigned, except this one. He’s determined to find and capture the killer who has managed to evade everyone—until coming face to face with Miss Burton. He finally has a witness and isn’t about to let anything happen to her, but he can’t seem to stop what’s happening inside his heart when it comes to this southern belle. She is unlike anyone he’s ever met before.
There’s plenty of suspense, tension, sleuthing, cozy mystery, sweet romance, and adventure building in “A New Heart.” Get your copy today and begin enjoying this exciting addition to ‘Georgia Peaches,’ a Christian and inspirational series aimed at keeping readers entertained with faith inspired stories.

inspirational historical Christmas romance
(Series: High-Country Christmas)
by Davalynn Spencer
She’s seventeen with a ranch to run, a fear of heights, and a cowboy intent on stealing her heart.
Abigale Millerton leaves a Denver women’s school and returns to her grandparents’ high-country ranch to find the boy she’d grown up with not a boy any longer—and butting in on her challenge with local timber thieves. If he’d stop telling her what to do, they might get along.
Seth Holt has loved Abigale since before he knew better. And now that she’s back in the high country, she’s still as bull-headed as ever. But Seth can match her, and he’s determined to keep her out of harm’s way and in his line of sight. Trouble is, he’d rather keep her in his arms.
