THE OTHER BROTHER: Gustaf was sick and tired of cleaning up his brother's messes and that included meeting Olina in New York only to tell her the man she came across an ocean to wed has married someone else. But Olina's hurt touches something inside Gustaf. As Olina seeks to make sense of the pain of Lars' defection and more, she finds herself embraced by Gustaf's family and a community and a God who prove they care. Maybe God has a plan for her life after all.
A sweet story of love that integrates faith into the very fabric of the story and makes the reader hurry to the next story to once more lose themselves in Litchfield, Minnesota with the Nilsson family.
HIS BROTHER'S CASTOFF: With one fiancé married to another and the other dead, Anna begins to think there is something wrong with her, that she'll remain single for the rest of her days. August who has loved her from afar since the moment he saw her, burns with jealousy for the brother who so easily captured her attentions then married another woman. Somehow he can't get beyond thinking of Anna as his brother's castoff. But God is moving in the hearts of these two stubborn Scandinavians. A story of two hearts learning to walk by God's grace and, in the process, discovering God's wonderful plan.
DOUBLE DECEPTION: Rissa wants only to escape from her stepfather and his plans, but how when he threatens horrible retribution if she asks for help? His threats have kept her in line and bearing her burdensome secret far too long. But when she hears the message of Christ, when she makes friends in the latest town planned for plucking, and when her heart is engaged by twins Lowell and Ollie, will Rissa find the courage to step forward in faith to reveal her secret and, finally, find true faith and love?
A sweet story that leaves the reader smiling and encouraged.
GERDA'S LAWMAN: Surrounded by content couples, Gerda wants nothing more than a loving Christian husband and a family of her own, so how-in-the world can she be drawn to the ex-lawman on the trail of a swindler and his twin daughters? How can she get Frank out of her mind-and heart? What happens when Frank discovers the truth of his long vigil, especially when he keeps getting side-tracked by a vision of loveliness named Gerda. As he put it, "that girl had strings dangling off her so long they would really hog-tie a man." And he didn't want to be tied down--or did he?
Once more, readers find themselves immersed in the goings on of the Minnesota town of Litchfield. Once more, the characters wrap themselves around the reader like a snuggly blanket as Dooley delivers another memorable sweet romance.
Together the stories warm the heart and champion love and family and faith.A great book to read before a roaring fire with a cup of hot chocolate.
