Now it is Revell’s turn to reveal what’s in store for 2010!
Highlights for me are Sharon Gillenwater’s book ~ I love her Scottish Highland books from many years ago, two new romantic suspense novels from Irene and Lynette and Ginny Smith’s final Sister to Sister novel. That being said, I am really looking forward to Janice’s Weddings by Bella series which debuts with Fools Rush In in September and I have just finished reading Stacy’s Worth A Thousand Words which was very enjoyable!
To summarise, I can’t wait to read them all – LOL!!
Your thoughts ~ Covers? Story lines? Can’t wait for…?

Jenna’s Cowboy by Sharon Gillenwater
Jenna Callahan has a young son and rewarding work on her father’s ranch. She’s content. But she never expected to see Nate Langley back in town–the first guy she noticed, the one her father sent away all those years ago. And she never thought the attraction they felt would be as strong as ever.
Jenna’s cowboy has some healing of his own to do, though, after two tours of duty in the armed forces. With the help of good friends, strong faith, and a loving family, he hopes to put the horrors of the past behind him–and become the man Jenna deserves.
With an emphasis on simple acts of love, Jenna’s Cowboy gives romance readers what they want most: a love story with a Texas touch.

Samantha Cash is the FBI’s secret weapon. Her methods are invisible, and she never stops until the case is closed. When missing teens begin turning up dead in a small Southern town, Samantha is assigned to help local chief Connor Wolfe find the killer. And he has two problems with that. There’s her faith–in God and herself. And then there’s the fact that she looks exactly like his late wife.
As they get close to an answer, the case becomes personal. The killer seems to be taking an interest in Connor’s 16-year-old daughter, who thinks her dad is getting way too protective. Can’t a girl just have some fun?
Too Close to Home ratchets up the suspense with each page, and will have readers cheering for the characters they love as justice is served and love grows even in the face of danger. Read this one with the lights on!

Filled with palpable suspense and a touch of romance, In Harm’s Way is the final installment of the thrilling Heroes of Quantico series.

I want them all! *grin*
I read Sharon Gillenwater back in the Palisades/Heartquest days…remember them?
I see where Dee Henderson's comments are on Lynette Eason's book…so you know that one'll be good. Would love to see Dee write more books too – I miss her! ๐
And I'm definitely looking forward to Bella #2 and Sister to Sister #3 (love the colors on this cover).

Thanks for including Jenna's Cowboy.:) So glad you love my Scottish books from Multnomah. Maybe one of these days I'll get to do more of them. Hope you enjoy Jenna's Cowboy. It's a book of my heart, dealing with a hero who has PTSD. What fun to see it on your site! I agree, all these look great!
