Charting the Course

by Leslea Wahl

Charting the Course

A ten-day Caribbean cruise might sound like a fabulous way to spend the holidays, but Liz would rather be anywhere than stranded on a ship with her estranged father for his high school reunion.

While an anonymous note, an onboard mystery, and a cute boy help turn the tide on the unwanted trip, Liz and her father drift even further apart. However, when Liz’s reckless actions create a tsunami of unintended consequences, she recognizes that she’s drowning in pent-up hurt and anger. As her carefully created façade begins to ebb away, she turns to her faith and sets off to chart a new course for her life.

I Know What I Love You Means

A Contemporary Christian Romance Novel

(The Love Series Book 1)

by Staci Stallings

I Know What I Love You Means

Abby Fletcher is in no position to date anyone. She’s not looking. She’s not in the market. She hasn’t been on a date in… well… it’s been a while. Content with her job as a school counselor, she likes the small town life she has carved out for herself. Quiet and unassuming, she is the perfect wall flower in society. But when a handsome stranger from the big city shows up, her world might take a turn she’s not ready to make.

Pete Caradon has seen it all. Twelve years as an NYPD detective has given him plenty of reasons to condemn humanity as irredeemable. When a case suddenly comes to an ugly end, Pete finds himself the one being investigated. His partner suggests a small vacation while things are being sorted out, and Pete reluctantly heads to his estranged brother’s house in search of a little peace and sanity. Instead, he may find his world has only just begun to spin in a new direction.

The Love Series by Best-Selling Christian Romance author, Staci Stallings explores the on-going trauma those who have experienced domestic violence in their younger years go through. Somewhere between trying to forget and trying to move on, these characters will give readers insight into how pervasively difficult it is to put the past in the past and leave it there. In the end, love wins, but the process to getting there isn’t always easy or straight forward.
