by Jennifer Lamont Leo, Naomi Musch, 

Candice Sue Patterson, and Pegg Thomas

All That Glitters: based on a true story, this is a stranger than fiction tale of a gold scam of major proportions. Great little romance of hardworking Wini and lumber company owner, Jess who try to get to the bottom of a hoax.

Winter Roses: A school teacher who doesn’t want to marry a lumberjack and a temporary lumberjack who wants to open a horse farm. Can God change their opinion and their hearts?

Not For Love: a widow who wants to marry to save her farm... not for love. Can they trust each other and forge a friendship and something more?

Undercover Logger: Carrie mourns her husband but cannot manage the lumber business. Why, after a year is the business in jeopardy? Michael is sent by his banker father to Idaho to learn the ropes. Can he surreptitiously find out why Carry is losing money? Will they find a way to grow together?

A fun and faith filled quartet of the lumber industry in the 1800s. Something for everyone!
