Description Crowning Design by Leila Meacham


From the New York Times bestselling author of Roses¸ comes a beautiful, classic romance about letting go of the past and finding the courage to embrace love set against the heights of the Rocky Mountains.

Deborah Standridge has done everything her parents have ever asked of her with a smile on her face.  That’s what southern belles do.  But when a renowned architect offers her a job at his firm across the country only days before her wedding, she faces a dilemma.  Should she become the dutiful wife of a man she doesn’t love to please her parents or finally make her own dream come true?  Leaving her fiancée at the altar, she flies to Denver, setting in motion a tragedy that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Now, as one of Denver’s most successful architects, Deborah manages to avoid love at all costs…until Dan Parker walks into her firm-and her heart.  Magnetic and irresistible, Dan commissions her to design a building for him and gives her the courage to believe in love again.  But he has a secret that may be her undoing.  Will his love and the family they could create become her crowning design?  Or will he break her heart and cost her everything she’s worked so hard to build?

In this incredible love story, Meacham once again delivers a heartfelt, incredibly developed plot with a cast of characters you won’t want to let go of. Love, friendship, betrayal, tragedy and triumph are all here in this reprint of a classic romance that will appeal to old and new readers alike.

Thanks to Caitlin Hamilton Marketing & Publicity, LLC, I am giving away one print copy of Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke.

Description of Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke


Biotech entrepreneur Tess Whitford has built her life around the certainty of logic and thrives on solving problems. But when one of her dearest friends exhausts the reaches of medicine while fighting cancer and grabs onto the hope that traditional healers in Ecuador might save her, Tess has to let go of everything she knows—and every instinct she has. Unable to deny Ellie a request that might be her last, Tess flies to Ecuador to help.

Together with Joline, another close college friend whose spiritual work inspired the trip, they travel to the small mountain village of Otavalo. Immersed in nature and introduced to strange ancient ceremonies, the three friends are pushed to recognize that good health is not only physical. Tess grapples with her inability to trust; Ellie struggles with a painful secret; and Joline worries about the contract she made with an aggressive businessman whose ambitions could destroy the delicate fabric of the local community. When an ayahuasca ceremony goes awry and an unlikely betrayal suddenly threatens to unravel their decades-long friendship, these three very different women awaken to a shared realization: they each have a deep need for healing.

FILL THE SKY captures the challenges of mid-life, the hope we seek when we explore alternative paths, and the profound nature of women’s friendships. It’s a beautifully told and moving story about lifelong friends, the power of the spirit, and the age-old quest to not simply fight death but to shape an authentic life.

Praise for Fill The Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke


“Three women, each with an important question to answer, travel together into a world richly imagined and beautifully rendered to find unconventional answers. This is a deeply moving novel about love, honesty, respect, the unlikely, and the truly possible.”—Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author

“FILL THE SKY takes us to places we seldom dare explore and pushes the boundaries of love, friendship, and healing. Sherbrooke has a deft understanding of human nature and a painter’s eye for place. A journey every woman should take.”—Brunonia Barry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lace Reader

“Sherbrooke’s insight into friendship—all the slights and secrets, yet more importantly all the love that defines it—propels this novel forward to its deeply satisfying conclusion. FILL THE SKY is pure heart and a perfect read for a circle of friends.”—Lynne Griffin, author of Girl Sent Away and Sea Escape

Description of Christmas In Paris by Anita Hughes


Isabel Lawson is standing on the balcony of her suite at the Hotel Crillon as she gazes at the twinkling lights of the Champs Elysee and wonders if she’s made a terrible mistake. She was supposed to be visiting the Christmas tree in the Place de la Concorde, and eating escargots and macaroons with her new husband on their honeymoon. But a week before the wedding, she called it off. Isabel is an ambitious Philadelphia finance woman, and Neil suddenly decided to take over his grandparents’ farm. Isabel wasn’t ready to trade her briefcase for a pair of rubber boots and a saddle.

When Neil suggested she use their honeymoon tickets for herself, she thought it would give her a chance to clear her head. That is until she locks herself out on the balcony in the middle of winter. Thankfully her neighbor Alec, a French children’s illustrator, comes to her rescue. He too is nursing a broken heart at the Crillon for the holidays. With a new friend by her side, Isabel is determined to use her time in the city of lights wisely. After a chance encounter with a fortune teller and a close call with a taxi, she starts to question everything she thought was important.

Christmas in Paris is a moving and heartwarming story about love, trust, and self-discovery. Set during the most magical week of the year, the glorious foods and fashions of the most romantic city in the world are sure to take your breath away.
