RUNNING AWAY

She had caught everyone's eye. Petite, mysterious Leah Thomas was new to Hill Creek, Texas, and the entire town had taken notice. Especially one handsome cowboy, who'd offered to give Leah some much–needed help.

Soon Mark Walker learned that the blond beauty wasn't as helpless as she appeared. But she had something hidden inside that she refused to reveal. And Mark was determined to find the key to her heart….

Leah was running from a past she couldn't forget. But to help her, Mark had to stop running, too. Only with God's help–and each other's–could they reach their paths of redemption and find a future together….

Turning forty is a major milestone for Annie Hooper, who has been married, with stepchildren, since she was seventeen. The birthday gift of a trip to Holland offers some unexpected and exciting changes to her routine. And when a car accident in Amsterdam leads to her rescue by a handsome celebrity, she begins to wonder whether God has a new direction for her.

Victor Richardson offers his château to Annie so she can recover and resume her vacation–with him as guide. And while Annie's leg mends, she discovers that her Prince Charming requires God's grace, and her help as well, to make a fresh start of his own.

Fun-loving schoolteacher Tessa Stanridge needed a way to stay in Hill Creek–fast! Suddenly, like a gift from God, a white knight in the form of accident victim Drake Slater came to her rescue. The moment she saw the handsome rancher, she knew he was a man desperately in need of her loving care–just as she knew her life would never be the same.

Drake was out to prove he was every bit the same rugged loner he had been before his accident. Trouble was, with Tessa around, even that wouldn't be enough. Now, it wasn't just that he wanted to learn to walk again–Tessa was the kind of woman who made a man want to be better than he was. And for this man, Tessa was turning out to be the best medicine of all.

He'd pledged to be her friend forever, but that was back then. Now Meghan O'Halleran had no job, no place to live and was facing multiple sclerosis. Yet the memory of that friendship shone like a beacon, guiding her home once more to her childhood best friend Cody. Would welcoming arms await her? Pastor Dakota "Cody" Ryder couldn't believe it. The childhood friend he'd lost twenty years before was standing in his kitchen. And though he recognized her, Meghan O'Halleran was now a woman –– a disheveled and troubled, but beautiful, one. Pastor Cody wasn't sure why Meghan had entered his life again, but he'd do all he could to help her.

TO ERR IS HUMAN…

But attorney Rebekkah Hawkley figured it would take nothing short of divine intervention for Andre Watson to learn forgiveness. The stubborn Texan might have come home to save his father's law firm from a shadowy threat, but he refused to forget an age–old family feud. If only Rebekkah could convince Andre that his dad needed his love–and that she didn't….

As Andre saw it, unyielding Rebekkah ought to practice what she preached. But her troubled past didn't concern him nearly as much as her future. He had every intention of showing her that a woman needed more in her life than church and a career. Namely: love, marriage–and him!

When candy shop owner Samantha Hampton nursed an injured stranger and invited him into her home, she thought she was being a Good Samaritan–after all, it was the least she could do after breaking his foot. Richard Moore's charm put her at ease and made her heart pound. But Samantha didn't know that she was aiding the enemy!

Richard Moore had no more control over his attraction to Samantha than he did the fact that his family's confectionary chain would put Samantha's small shop out of business. Despite being her competition, Richard had no intention of breaking her heart. Would Samantha forgive him when she learned the truth of his identity.?
