Sometimes what your life is missing is an eccentric group of older ladies to take you under their wing…

When Rae Sutton’s mama passes away and leaves her the house where she grew up, Rae can’t imagine how the little old place might restore her broken life. Mourning the recent loss of her marriage, she takes the house and settles back into her tiny hometown with her fourteen-year-old daughter, Molly Margaret, and their overweight dog.

There she’s embraced by her mother’s close-knit circle of friends, the Third Thursday ladies. Though almost half their age and far less confident of positive outcomes, Rae joins their ministry-slash-book-club-slash-gossip circle and allows the women to speak wry honesty and witty humor into her tired heart.

What if the greatest threat to humanity wasn’t an alien civilization…but humanity itself?

In a future where towering mega-cities hide the decay of civilization beneath gleaming skylines, the Earth is united under a powerful world government promising peace, security, and prosperity. But beneath the polished surface lies corruption, oppression, and a growing darkness that few dare acknowledge.

Jeremiah Berg is the last person anyone would expect God to call. A quiet Old Testament professor haunted by personal tragedy and struggling with his faith, Jeremiah wants nothing more than to be left alone. Instead, he receives an impossible calling: confront the leaders of the world, warn them to repent, and prepare humanity for what is coming.

As first contact with an advanced alien civilization turns into political intrigue, military escalation, and ultimately interstellar war, Jeremiah’s warnings are mocked, his freedom is taken, and civilization begins to unravel. While governments cling to power and nations march toward destruction, one reluctant prophet discovers that God’s plan reaches far beyond the collapse of Earth itself.

Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking world-building, intense action, and profound spiritual questions, The Chronicles of Jeremiah is an epic Christian science fiction adventure about faith, sacrifice, redemption, and hope.

When everything humanity has built begins to fall, one man must decide whether he will remain silent—or speak for God, no matter the cost.

Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful science fiction, political thrillers, first-contact adventures, and stories where faith shines brightest in humanity’s darkest hour.

Inspired by real accounts of the Forgotten Blitz bombings, The British Booksellers highlights the courage of those whose lives were forever changed by war—and the stories that bind us in the fight for what matters most.

A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls.

When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides her days between her late husband’s declining estate and operating a quaint Coventry bookshop—Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane.

As war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father’s legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit that could destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to preserve, mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought by the Luftwaffe’s local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling bookshops—and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte—must put aside their differences and fight together to help Coventry survive.

From deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of World War II, The British Booksellers explores the unbreakable bonds that unite us through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between the pages of a book.

In this hilarious, low-spice rom-com, a librarian falls for a book-nerd . . . the only problem is they are an ocean apart. Authentically, Izzy is told mostly through emails, texts, and letters and is sure to leave readers with a lighter heart. Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair.

Dear Reader,

My name is Isabelle Louisa Edgewood–Izzy, for short. I live by blue-tinted mountains, where I find contentment in fresh air and books. Oh, and coffee and tea, of course. And occasionally in being accosted by the love of my family. (You’ll understand my verb choice in the phrase later.) I dream of opening my own bookstore, but my life, particularly my romantic history, has not been the stuff of fairy tales. Which is probably why my pregnant, misled, matchmaking cousin–who, really, is more like my sister–signed me up for an online dating community.

The trouble is . . . it worked. I’ve met my book-quoting Mr. Right, and our correspondence has been almost too good to be true. But Brodie lives across an ocean. And just the other day, a perfectly nice author and professor named Eli came into the library where I work and asked me out for a coffee. I feel a rom-com movie with a foreboding disaster nipping at my heels.

But I’ve played it safe for a long time. Maybe it’s time for me to be as brave as my favorite literary heroines. Maybe it’s time to take the adventures from the page to real life. Wish me luck.

Authentically,

Izzy

Escape into this fun love letter to books and the people who love them. You’ll be sure to laugh out loud and swoon for bookish Brodie as you feel the weight lifted from your shoulders with this sweet, low-spice but high sizzle rom-com.
