Soon, Lainie can’t deny Ben’s dedication to finding the truth or her growing admiration for him.

Drop the Spurs, Cowgirl by Valerie Comer
She knows his secrets. But can she drop her spurs and forgive him?
Vivienne Cavanagh’s half-sisters invite her to join them in building Happy Trails Stables, which sounds like the kind of stability Viv has craved all her life. She’s become a pediatric nurse practitioner so she’ll never need to depend on a man for anything the way her needy mother did. God, her sisters, her horse, and a real home in Jewel Lake? That’s all she needs.
Branson DeWitt knew a guy shouldn’t date his best friend’s kid sister, so he didn’t. But when his past jumps in front of him, destroying his engagement to Viv’s best friend, he reacts poorly. Being a lawyer means he knows right and wrong, but it’s not always easy to act on it, and Viv knows too many details. If she didn’t hate him so much, he’d try to explain… and enlist her help.
Viv’s too smart to get caught in Branson’s web, but what if he’s for real? Because if there’s anything she can’t ignore, it’s a small, innocent child in need of comfort.

No Egrets by Jen Dodrill
When the birds disappear, the secrets take flight.
Life in Stone Creek Cove is supposed to be peaceful—sunny Florida days, friendly neighbors, and a rookery of beloved egrets nesting near the creek. So when the birds vanish overnight, Peg Howard expects nothing more than a little small-town drama.
She doesn’t expect to find a body.
Volunteered to help search for the missing egrets, Peg teams up with her mother-in-law, Hazel, and quickly discovers that Stone Creek Cove has more secrets than birdwatchers. Rumors spread, tempers flare, and what started as a harmless mystery turns into a full-blown murder investigation.
Already juggling a doting grandmother role, a mischievous new puppy, and two very different men competing for her attention, Peg has no desire to become an amateur sleuth. But when cryptic clues and thinly veiled threats suggest someone wants the truth buried, Peg knows walking away isn’t an option.
As Peg and Hazel dig deeper, they uncover shady deals, long-held grudges, and motives hiding behind polite smiles. And in a town where everyone knows everyone, the killer could be closer than Peg ever imagined.
Can Peg untangle the mystery before curiosity turns deadly—or will this case cost her more than a few feathers?

The Not-So-Neutral Zone by Susan May Warren and Sarah May Warren
One perfect day in Barcelona. One kiss that changed everything. One goodbye that broke my heart.
I’ve always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else’s love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse—and then my entire day—I dared to believe my story might finally be starting.
Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name.
Classic.
Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody “Candy” Kane—NHL golden boy, my sister’s fiancé’s teammate—and he needs a favor. As in, a girlfriend to keep his reputation in good shape while he skates into a new contract. And frankly? I wouldn’t mind a date to my sister’s over-the-top wedding.
The deal: Fake date through wedding season. Break up at the end. No harm, no foul.
The rules: Fake smiles for the cameras. Fake hand-holding for the fans. Absolutely, positively, no falling for each other for real.
The problem: The chemistry that sparked in Barcelona? Never actually went away. And pretending to be in love with someone you’re already halfway in love with?
Terrible idea. 0/10. Would not recommend.
A swoony Christian romance about second chances, hidden identities, and discovering that the one man you shouldn’t want might be exactly who you need.
Hope Even After by Heather Greer
Loving him was never the problem.
Living with the addiction was.
In a small Illinois town, Daisy Taylor has loved her best friend Luke Masters since high school. But when grief drove Luke away from faith and into alcohol, Daisy learned an impossible truth: loving someone does not mean you can save them. Hoping for more than friendship felt risky, especially when the man she loved stopped believing in God and in himself.
Luke once trusted faith. After devastating loss, he decided it was nothing more than a crutch, and the bottle became his refuge. But when he crosses a line he cannot undo, Luke is forced to confront his addiction and begin the slow, humbling road toward sobriety.
As Luke fights for recovery, Daisy walks a razor’s edge, loving someone in recovery without rescuing him, supporting him without losing herself, and guarding a heart she buried years ago. Old feelings resurface. Faith is tested. And the future she once mourned threatens to reappear—fragile and uncertain.
Hope Even After is a faith-filled story of second chances, hard-earned healing, and the quiet courage it takes to trust God when answers do not come easily. With emotional depth and a gentle thread of romance, this novel explores boundaries, grace, and what it means to hope wisely rather than desperately.
Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful, faith-centered novels like Still of Night, Where Grace Appears, Night Songs, and The Divine Proverb of Streusel.
If you believe hope can survive loss, love can grow with boundaries, and faith can rise even after disappointment, begin this redemptive story today.
