Read an excerpt:

Josephine placed her hands on the banister, taking in several deep breaths to steady herself. 

“Are you all right?” She heard Charles' familiar voice ask from behind her. 

She spun around to find him a few feet away. She thought about bringing up her misgivings about Duncan, but the thought of saying them out loud seemed silly. Instead she asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I came to check on you.”

“You didn’t think I could do my job?”

He shook his head. “I know you’re capable, but it doesn’t hurt to have a second set of eyes or ears helping you out. I figured with it being a masked ball, I could blend in.”

"You do, you know, blend in,” she said, reaching out and touching the edge of his mask. He looked handsome in a tailored black suit and matching mask. If she didn’t know any better, she would have thought he was a nobleman. “I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“I should have surprised you then,” he said as he moved towards her. “And taken you onto the dance floor.”

“We can dance here,” she whispered, placing her hand on his chest. 

“Would you like that?”

She nodded, allowing him to take her into his arms. 

The muffled sound of the waltz could be heard through the closed doors of the veranda. They swayed to the beat of the music, Charles expertly executing the steps of the dance and guiding Josephine with precision. She reveled in how wonderful it felt to be held in his strong arms, enjoying the forbidden moment she shouldn’t be sharing with him. The longer they danced, the closer they became until they were only inches apart. 

She could tell he wanted to kiss her, and if he tried, she was going to let him. She wanted to feel Charles’ lips on her own, to melt into his arms and find out if they fit together perfectly like she hoped.

“Josephine, we—”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a peel of laughter that interrupted him. 

“Someone’s coming,” he said, releasing her from his grip and stepping back. “We shouldn’t be caught together.”

Without another word, he disappeared into the shadows, leaving Josephine alone. She returned to the ball, trying to push her stolen dance with Charles from her mind with no success.

Read an excerpt:

Grace peered into the mirror over the table in her cousin’s entry foyer, nervously straightening her travel hat. Of all people in the world, why did it have to be Charley Arrington coming to escort her back to Angel Creek?

She knew the logical answer to that question, of course. He’d come to Charleston to fetch his parents for the holidays. However, it felt monumentally unfair that the man she loved would be the one delivering her into the arms of the man she would marry— one she’d never met. One who wasn’t Charley.

Read an excerpt:

The music began to play and dance partners claimed the women around Ed. Realizing he better seize his opportunity to dance with Julia as quickly as possible, he asked, “Would you care to dance with me?”

She nodded, extending her hand to him as he pulled her onto the floor. He gathered her into his arms and placed her in his hold. They swayed to the music, following the steps of the waltz.

Ed loved holding Julia, the smell of her honey and vanilla perfume causing him to want to draw her closer. She looked up into his eyes, and for a moment he almost forgot where they were; the urge to kiss her was so great he could barely contain it.

“I can’t believe how much I’ve grown to care for you,” he whispered against her cheek. “I never thought I could care for anyone the way I do for you, but you’ve shown me otherwise.”

“And I never thought I could care for another man after Timothy, but I was wrong. You’ve found a way into my heart, despite my best attempts to keep you out.”

“I’m glad,” he said with a smile. “I want it to stay that way forever.”

Rachel (Once Upon a Church House #2) by Jo Grafford

Rachel Giordano and her older sister have always been fiercely competitive. This time, however, both are in love with the same man. When a compromising situation forces him to offer his hand in marriage to her sister, Rachel is shattered and purchases a one-way ticket to Mountain Springs to interview as their church choir director.

Ridge Carson hasn’t had it easy since the day he was born. Following a false accusation that earned him some jail time, he’s trying to carve out a new life for himself as the general manager of a sawmill. Unfortunately, there’s a saboteur in their midst, wreaking the kind of havoc he fears will eventually cost him his job.

Ridge is instantly drawn to the lovely newcomer in town. It’s clear she’s nursing old wounds — something he knows a thing or two about. He finds himself doing everything he can to help her find a fresh start, knowing a woman like her isn’t likely to find much to admire in a man like him.

ONCE UPON A CHURCH HOUSE is a sweet and inspirational historical western romance series with a dash of magic and time travel.

Pastor Zach Shepherd feels called to plant a church in rural Mountain Springs, Idaho, a place his friends warn him is unredeemable. However, he’s a firm believer in miracles and scoffs at their dire predictions of his pending failure. He quickly sizes up the renegade collection of mostly male town folk and determines what they need (in addition to salvation) is a woman’s touch to straighten them out. Throwing on his matchmaker hat, he prays God will send a few saved and sanctified women his way to get the first marriages rolling. He specifically prays for the kind of women legends are made of — from the Bible days — never dreaming how swiftly nor how thoroughly his prayers would be answered!

Lawfully Witnessed (The Lawkeepers) by Jo Grafford

Lawfully Witnessed

To escape the bitter division of loyalties in her family following Georgia’s succession from the Union, Anna Kate Monroe accepts an invitation to serve as a companion to a spinster aunt in Texas. She is surprised to find herself traveling in the same direction as a handsome stranger she meets right before she begins the long train ride west; and she is even more thrilled to discover they share the same destination.

Captain Gregory Armstrong has been sent undercover from Massachusetts to investigate the claim that several prominent southern families are financing a major supply route responsible for bringing a steady supply of horses, ammunition, and fighting men to the Confederate states. When his investigation leads him straight to Anna Kate’s doorstep, he has no choice but to follow her and his suspicions all the way to San Antonio. To explain his presence, he pretends to be a gentleman of leisure, paying a visit to a western railroad spur as a potential investor.

As the evidence against his lovely target and her family mounts, he grapples with an unexpected attraction to her that will test his mettle as both a spy and a man of honor.

Read an excerpt:

“Very clever, Mr. ah…Gregory.” 

He grinned his approval, instantly adoring the way his name sounded in her melodic alto. Like music. 

“I was under the impression you were an investor,” she continued in her lilting tone. “I see now you are much more than that.” 

Oh? His senses went on high alert. Had he made a verbal misstep? Sent her a wrong cue and thereby given something away about his true identity? 

“Yes, indeed. I see it now, sir. You are a wizard.” She nodded in satisfaction and took another sip from her glass, allowing her eyes to twinkle over the rim at him. 

He was utterly entranced and suddenly found himself wishing they were indeed two strangers who had met on a train. One lovely southern belle and one hardened northern officer, in a world where that fact wouldn’t make one of them a traitor.
