Ian Wells is a young criminal defense attorney struggling to build the Minneapolis law practice he inherited from his father while caring for a mother with Alzheimer's. Everything changes for Ian when a new client offers a simple case: determine whether three men qualify for over nine million dollars of trust funds. To qualify, none can have been involved in criminal activity for the past twenty years. Ian warily accepts the job--but is quickly dragged deep into a mystery linking the trust with a decades-old criminal enterprise and the greatest unsolved art theft in Minnesota history. Ian finds himself the target of a criminal investigation by Brook Daniels, a prosecutor who is also his closest law school friend. He realizes too late that this simple investigation has spun out of control and now threatens his career, his future, and his life.

Lydia is simply a merchant’s daughter who loves three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything. With only her father’s secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances—along with her father’s precious dye—help her become one of the city’s preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow, until Lydia meets the apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can’t outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.

Now she's come home, divorced, a little disillusioned, and a whole lot pregnant. Citified Ellie is as out of place in small-town Texas as her teacup poodle. So why is there something about being back--and being with Jubal McFarland, her one-time high school sweetheart--that feels surprisingly right? Jubal's eight-year-old daughter, Gracie, needs a mother, but he hasn't found the perfect woman. Gracie's already falling hard for Ellie and that ball of fluff she calls a dog. And no matter how hard the rugged cowboy tries to resist, there's no denying the appeal of first love and sweet new beginnings--especially when there's a little Christmas magic in the air.
