Summer in Southern California doesn’t get any hotter than this.
When Levi Boulter agrees to work for the FBI behind the scenes in Hollywood, he never plans on becoming an operative—or on keeping a deadly secret from the love of his life.
On the night he plans to propose to his girlfriend, Mahari Gillaspie, he’s attacked by a killer and thrown into fully operational status. Despite his lack of training, his job is to thwart a plan to assassinate the President’s wife, putting everyone he knows, including Mahari, in danger. He’s determined to keep the woman he loves safe, even if it means losing her forever.
When Mahari steps off the cruise ship she’s worked for months, she dreams of a future with Levi and an acupuncture practice of her own. Mahari’s faith in Levi is shattered when she stumbles upon Levi and a beautiful actress. Their relationship lays in ashes, but she feels called by God to silence her broken heart in order to treat Levi’s injuries after he’s injured in an explosion, but he slams the door on her efforts. Later, she’s plunged into the heart of the trouble when she finds Levi’s landlord murdered.
Will Levi’s secret divide them forever, or will they come together in time to stop an assassination?

NATHANIEL WARD, wealthy entrepreneur, needs a wife. But he’s not interested in the preening, high-society women who are offered to him on a silver platter. He wants one woman, and one woman alone: the girl who gave him all the money in her reticule years ago when the Great Chicago Fire left him destitute. He sets out to find this woman and discovers she’s unattached. There’s only one problem, a shotgun wedding may be able to bind them, but will he ever be able to win her heart?
AMELIA E. TAYLOR blows a kiss to a street rat. Little did she know, years later that kiss would follow her to Green Pines Colorado. When a handsome stranger arrives in her hometown, she guards her heart from the stirrings this man ignites. Despite society’s disapproval of spinsterhood, she is determined not to marry, having witnessed first-hand the lack of love and horrors that accompany marriage. But will a shotgun wedding reveal blessings that arise out of the ashes?
3. Pandora's Deed (Goddess to Daughter Book 1) by Monica Mynk
Years ago in rural Dreyfus, Kentucky, seven fourth grade girls studied mythology at a small Christian school. Three bore names of goddesses, and the others took on goddess nicknames. Pretending divinity made them feel powerful until their teacher explained they could only attain true power through Christ. They promised to always be friends, following Jesus together. Then, life happened. They went their separate ways and fell deep into sin. The Goddess to Daughter Series explores their stories of redemption and love.
Meet Pandora, a.k.a. Savannah Barrett, a twenty-something college grad who can’t seem to land a good job or a good man. She fled her Dreyfus home to escape childhood bullies, and planned to stay away for good. Body image struggles have led her to a life of empty relationships. After yielding so many times to temptation, she believes no one could desire her for more.
Geoff Spencer, her former tormentor, is the man who could love her anyway. He cleaned up his life, stopped the bullying, and found Christ. When she inherits his farm, she returns to Dreyfus to claim the property and face her dreadful past. She never expects to claim his heart as well.
The property transfer unearths a mystery that some would prefer to stay buried—a tragedy that intertwines their families and plants Savannah in the way of a psychopath who’d rather dispose of her than expose the past. Can Geoff convince her that he’s changed, and she’s not only worthy of his love, but God’s love, too? And can they find answers from their past before it’s too late for her soul?
