Twenty Something Else by Stephanie Mack
On the eve of her fortieth birthday, a woman wakes up from a pickleball accident with the unexpected chance to relive her twenties in this sparkling novel from a fresh, new voice.
Sutton Layne is almost-forty and fabulous, with a happy marriage, three beautiful children, and a successful interior design business. But there’s plenty of chaos behind the scenes of early midlife. Her preteen son is going off the rails, her husband is bailing on the party he was supposed to throw her, and that thriving business? If she can’t land her next big client, it might all come crashing down. Then a surprise DM from someone in her past sends her spiraling into what-ifs. What if she settled down too young? Walked away from her big break? Never had her great adventure?
Despite her simmering mini-crisis, Sutton can’t wait for the birthday luncheon and pickleball tournament her friends have planned in her honor. But when an accident on the court knocks her out cold, she wakes up somewhere else . . . and is offered the chance to do it all over again. She can revisit her twenties—out of order and on her own terms. And this time around, anything goes: cities, careers, friendships. Even love.
From star-studded Hollywood nights to the jungles of Nicaragua, from the heat of Coachella to the snowy summit of the Matterhorn, Sutton chases the life she fears she might have missed, with unexpected results.
With a wink to the classic It’s a Wonderful Life, Twenty Something Else is a witty, wistful journey through the dreams we outgrow, the life choices that shape us, and the surprising detours that can lead us home. Clean and wholesome women’s fiction with themes of second chances, identity, friendship, and love.

Until April by Janet W. Ferguson

Then tragedy turns April Yancy’s world upside down.

Michael has few regrets, but hurting April back in grad school still haunts him. When her situation grows desperate, he devises a risky plan to help her rebuild her life…even if it means jeopardizing his carefully guarded independence.
Accepting Michael’s shocking offer could cost April more than her pride. His resistance to her faith clashes with the convictions she holds dear, and trusting him again feels impossible.

What if We Broke the Rules? by Tara Grace Ericson
She lives by the rules. Falling for him would break every one of them.
Pierce Schumacher, Nashville’s favorite hockey bad boy, is used to winning with charm, talent, and a little recklessness. When a late-season injury threatens his playoff dreams—and his future—Pierce is benched, humbled, and stuck in rehab with the one woman immune to his smile. Healing was supposed to be physical, not a crash course in patience, self-control, and a faith he’s never taken seriously.
Physical therapist Lindsay Granger trusts rules because rules don’t lie. They don’t flirt, don’t make promises they can’t keep, and they don’t break your heart. When her partner goes on maternity leave, Lindsay is left fulfilling her clinic’s contract with the Nashville Nightcrawlers—an assignment full of loud arenas, fragile egos, and one dangerously charming hockey player she has no intention of trusting.
Confident, sarcastic, and relentlessly hardworking, Lindsay keeps her heart under lock and key—especially from athletes who look like red flags in skates. Overthinking is a habit she can manage. Crossing professional lines is not.
As playoffs loom and sparks fly, Pierce and Lindsay must navigate strict workplace boundaries, relentless media scrutiny, and feelings that refuse to stay professional—knowing one wrong move could cost him his career, her reputation, and the hard-won faith they’re both learning to trust.

Burns and Beauty – Philistines by Christine Dillon
Trust, once broken, is hard to restore.
Saphi has spent her life despising the mother who scarred her face and condemned her to obscurity as a temple sweeper in the house of Dagon. Scorned and friendless, she expects nothing from the Philistine gods except silence.
Then the Philistines capture the ark of the God of Israel.
Paraded into Dagon’s temple as a trophy of victory, the sacred ark should mark Israel’s defeat. Instead, terrifying signs and unexplainable disasters begin to shake the city. Israel’s God is no helpless captive—and as fear spreads among her people, Saphi is swept into events far greater than her own pain. Events that will lead her beyond everything she has ever known and force her to confront the wounds she cannot escape.
Why would the God of Israel notice someone like her?
And what if he demanded the very thing she can’t give?
Set during the time of 1 Samuel and the judgeship of Samuel, this gripping biblical novel brings the Philistine world vividly to life. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction that is realistic, thought-provoking, and spiritually compelling.

Evan’s heart is supposed to be open.
Except it isn’t.
Because the woman he can’t stop thinking about is the same woman carefully helping choose the person he might marry.

She didn’t come to Serenity Crossing to fall in love. She came to disappear.
Tori Hamilton has spent nearly her entire life being managed by a powerful family who gave her everything except the one thing she actually wanted — to be loved for who she is. After a lottery win hands her the means to finally break free, she leaves Atlanta behind and drives to a small mountain town in Tennessee where nobody knows her name, her family, or the secret she’s carrying. She buys a house, purchases a building for the flower shop she’s always dreamed of, and begins building the ordinary, beautiful life her parents would call beneath her. But the fresh start she’s counting on has a crack running through it — because the truth she left out of her new story is the one thing that could cost her everything.
Dave Hartwell is her next-door neighbor, her CPA, and the most quietly principled man she’s ever met. He’s also a man still carrying the sting of a broken engagement and the words that came with it — that his steady, rooted, carefully planned life would never be enough.

The Princess List by Hannah Currie
Having grown up in the palace, the daughter of two senior staff members, Bayley Lorbera knows all about palace life. Like where the best leftovers are stored after hours, and which forks go with which courses, and the quickest way to make an escape from any room in the castle. And the fact that she’s definitely not princess material. Princesses are supposed to be elegant, outgoing, and effortlessly charming. Not shy, average-sized, glasses-wearing, purple-haired girls more comfortable in fictional worlds than the real one. Bayley is perfectly content playing backup in a ballgown to the royal family while she works her way through the list meant to turn her into the kind of person she wants to be.
Hence the laughter when her best friend, Prince Cameron of Peverell, proposes. He can’t possibly be serious, can he? Marriage? Love? No way. Because seriously—not princess material. But Cameron is determined to win her, and she’s just as determined to prove to him how unsuited she is to the role, and find him someone who is. Easy, right?
Find Me in the Lyrics by Christina Miller

A month on the tiny Michigan island where she was born might give her space to figure out who she is without the spotlight.
She didn’t expect to find answers in a crumbling hotel. Or in him.
Caleb Kennedy should be on tour with his Christian rock band, not dealing with burst pipes, displaced guests, and a grandfather who won’t let him into the locked parlor wing. But family duty called, and Caleb answered—even if it meant burying his music along with his grief.
When Ariel walks through his doors, she’s an inconvenience. When she offers to help save the inn in exchange for his help reimagining her band, she becomes something more dangerous: a reason to pick up his guitar again.

Anna of Calvary by Susanne Blumer
She followed him to Jerusalem. She will not leave him now.
Anna has walked beside Jesus from the shores of Galilee to the gates of the Holy City, watched him heal the sick and raise the dead, and staked everything on a promise he made her that she cannot yet see fulfilled. Now the palms are waving, the crowds are shouting Hosanna, and the men who want him dead are already moving against him.
This is the week that shook the earth and split the temple veil. The week you have read about your whole life, sung about on Sunday mornings, and wept over at Easter. The week that changed everything. But you have never lived it. Not like this. Not through the hands that touched him, the voice that called his name, the faith that held on when holding on meant watching him die.
And then watching him rise.
Anna was there for all of it—the palms and the nails, the tomb and the garden, the grief and the impossible joy. She was there when he ascended into clouds and left them with a promise. She was there when the past came knocking with a secret that would change everything she thought she knew.
Anna was there. And now, so are you.

He was framed for murder. She refuses to back down. Together, they’ll uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything.
THE SCOUNDREL
Kurtz Chazir isn’t looking for redemption—he’s hunting for revenge.
Thirteen years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit taught him three things: trust no one, question everything, and never forgive the woman who destroyed his life. Now free and working as one of the king’s spies, Kurtz has a chance to track down Careeanne Nariel, the seductress who framed him for King Axel’s assassination.
But first, he must lead a team into Barth, a city shrouded in supernatural darkness where magic and conspiracy intertwine.
His mission: find a missing land warden and expose a trafficking ring selling innocent women. The catch? He has to do it while pretending to be a singing minstrel.
Kurtz may be many things, but a performer isn’t one of them.
THE WARRIOR
Zanna tan Quelle doesn’t take orders well—especially from arrogant former prisoners.
A half-giant soldier with more combat experience than patience, Zanna is assigned to Kurtz’s team to provide protection. What she gets instead is endless bickering, impossible decisions, and a man who thinks he knows everything.
He’s stubborn. Reckless. Infuriating.
And somehow, he’s the only person who sees past her warrior’s exterior to the woman beneath.
When their undercover mission goes sideways and ancient blood magic resurfaces, Zanna finds herself fighting battles on two fronts: against the black knights closing in, and against the unwanted feelings stirring in her heart.
THE CONSPIRACY
Duke Falkson’s fortress holds dark secrets—human trafficking, demonic altars, and a thirteen-year-old murder conspiracy.
As Kurtz and Zanna infiltrate the nobility’s inner circle, they discover the truth runs deeper than either imagined. The black knights aren’t just soldiers—they’re part of a network stretching across the kingdom. The missing women aren’t lost—they’re enslaved. And the darkness covering Barth isn’t natural—it’s powered by blood sacrifice.
When Zanna is captured inside Claymore Keep and Kurtz must choose between his quest for vengeance and saving the woman who’s become everything he never knew he needed, he’ll learn that some battles aren’t won with swords.
They’re won on your knees.
