Coming mid 2012 from B&H Publishing

Check out these new titles releasing from B&H Fiction, mid next year.
Love the cover of Hide and Seek and can’t wait to read it!  Jamie and Pamela are favourite authors of mine, too.  Not keen on Kim and Mindy’s cover unfortunately šŸ™
How about you?



Juliette Taylor walked away from her career as a supermodel twenty-five years ago. Now approaching fifty ā€“ an emotionally complex milestone — she co-owns a beauty supply company that makes skincare products for salons and spas. Her niche is pampering Christian women who usually spend more time caring for others than for themselves under the slogan:

Isnā€™t it time someone took care of YOU for a change?

When Juliette arrives at the Palm Grotto Spa to host a spiritual retreat, she runs into an old modeling colleague, Raven, who had always been disliked in the industry for many reasons. She isnā€™t there for the retreat; in fact, her presence at the spa is somewhat mysterious.

Not long after Raven makes a cryptic threat to Juliette, the unsympathetic back-then beauty is found dead, poisoned by something in the green clay of a chai soy wrap. The following morning, a banner for the retreat has been unceremoniously altered:

Itā€™s your turn to be nurtured, to be restored . . . to be murdered.

Suspicion is directed at Juliette who has history with Raven and certainly knows how to use beauty products. But for murder?! Now she must find the real killer before the police really take care of her.

The River Rose by Gilbert Morris

Life hasnā€™t been easy for Jeanne Bettencourt, a widow approaching thirty and struggling to provide for her eight-year-old daughter. But hope arrives in the form of the Helena Rose, a steamboat she unexpectedly inherits from a distant, departed relative. Jeanneā€™s father had captained a similar vessel and taught her how to pilot a steamer along the banks of Memphis. Sheā€™s looking forward to a renewed livelihood on the mighty Mississippi.

However, as plans are made, news comes of another heir to the Helena Rose — a tough man named Clint Hardin — and a clause in the will that says claimants of the estate must live aboard the boat. Jeanne, a Christian woman, makes it clear she wonā€™t stay with a man who is not her husband. But both are desperate for work, so they agree to keep their distance as Clint occupies the lower deck and Jeanne takes the captainā€™s quarters.

As they restore the Helena Rose, the slowly softening Clint becomes attracted to Jeanne — who is now being courted by a wealthy plantation owner. With her family and future at stake, the desires of Jeanneā€™s heart are duly complex. Only her simple faith can navigate her through whatā€™s about to happen.

Now, Chloe must take on the role of amateur sleuth to discover who the real intended victim was before the murderer makes a second attempt. Beckyā€™s handsome Amish-turned-Mennonite brother, Timothy, a local carpenter, comes in handy along the way. With Godā€™s help, theyā€™ll solve the mystery thatā€™s rocking this small community.

Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemonā€”the path of least resistanceā€”Alexandria Featherstone sets off toward Iceland in search of her parents with a leaden heart. A glimpse of her guardian, the Duke of St. Eastonā€”the path less traveled byā€”on Dublinā€™s shore still haunts her.

Will he come after her? Will he drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: ā€œFaith for Duty,ā€ the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens: ā€œWilling and Able,ā€ beats in her heart and thrums through her veins. She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the cost.

The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge that has become his life since hearing his wardā€™s name. Alexandria Featherstone will be the life or the death of him. Only time and Godā€™s plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the prize of love.

At 8:47 A.M. on Wednesday, October 12, 1977, new-to-town businessman Bingham Murdock flew his small plane into New Orleans, banking it in such a way that a ray of sunshine shot through the city at light speed.

Amalise Catoir saw the flash from her sixteenth floor law office window. Finally feeling alive after the death of her abusive husband, she imagined seeing the plane was a fate for her eyes only; a special connection between the unknown giver and she, the recipient of light.But someone else saw it, a six-year-old Cambodian refugee in foster care for whom a sudden burst of brightness reminds him of artillery fire.

Destined to cross paths with the man and the child, Amalise doesnā€™t yet know the deeper spiritual lesson she will learn: that we are responsible not only for the things we do, but also for the things that we donā€™t.
