Coming in mid 2012 from Revell

As promised, I’m back with May to August releases from Revell and would love your thoughts on these novels.

Any favourites for you?

The Pursuit of Lucy Banning by Olivia Newport

Lucy Banning may live on the exclusive Prairie Avenue among Chicago’s rich and famous, but her heart lies elsewhere. Expected to marry an up-and-coming banker from …

Coming in mid 2012 from Bethany House
