Alive but disoriented, she’s rescued by Luke Stone…so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future.
Luke is heading home to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men who killed his father are working hard to ensure Luke doesn’t make it alive. He has no choice but to keep moving. Still, he can’t just abandon Ruthy, so she’ll have to come along.
His friends–a ragtag group of former Civil War soldiers–take a fast interest in the pretty gal. Luke thinks that’s rather rude–he’s the one who found her. And the more time he spends around the hard-working young woman who is a mighty good cook, the more he finds himself thinking beyond revenge and toward a different future. For the first time in a long time, Luke is tempted to turn from his destructive path and be swept away by love.

Wind Of The Spirit
$18.81In this breathtaking sequel, author J. M. Hochstetler continues the acclaimed saga of the American Revolution that began with Daughter of Liberty and Native Son. The fateful confrontation between the untried Continental Army under General George Washington and an overwhelming invasion force commanded by British General William Howe explodes at the Battle of Brooklyn. With the patriot cause on the brink of ruin, Elizabeth Howard scrambles for critical intelligence-and her life. Meanwhile, far out on the western borders, Brigadier General Jonathan Carleton, as the Shawnee war chief White Eagle, succeeds in driving white settlers from Ohio territory through a series of lightning raids. At the same time Blue Sky’s seductive charms and the rapidly escalating conflict with Wolfslayer force White Eagle to walk a treacherous tightrope between the beautiful widow and the shaman.
As the British close in on Carleton’s whereabouts, and with Washington poised to make a desperate, last-ditch gamble to save the American cause at Trenton, Elizabeth rejoins Colonel Charles Andrews on a desperate journey to find Carleton before the British can execute him for treason. Can her love bridge the miles that separate them-and the savage bonds that threaten to tear him forever from her arms?

Archon Of Babylon
$35.61Prolific religious fiction centered on Daniel during the time of the Israelite captivity under Nebuchadnezzar; this novel has a large cast of characters that collectively demonstrates the push and pull of good and evil. While set it ancient times, the parallels to today are pertinent. Readers will be completely engrossed by each of the story lines as they intertwine up to the finale.
* This is the kind of book that people stay up reading even though they know they need to go to sleep.
* The Archon of Babylon is very well written, completely realistic and so detailed it reads like a movie. The audience will pull vivid images from things they have seen and will get lost in the events taking place. The author thoroughly transports them to this past era.
* The author has read so deeply between the lines of the Bible into what every day life must have been like for Daniel and the rest of the captives at that time. The plot is ingenious, especially considering how familiar these stories are to most Christians. Readers will be totally blown away by the situations that feel like a clandestine behind-the-scenes production; they will definitely recommend this book to others and probably read it two or three times themselves.
