Second Start: Family


Book Description

Hearts can heal … with a little help Life’s challenging enough for widower Hall Quick right now. He’s sure not thinking about love. He has four children -- moody teenager Dan, meddling Molly and Lizzie, and into-everything toddler Bobby – all of them still reeling from their mother’s unexpected death. A ranch that needs more hours than he has to give. A household that passed wrack and ruin a while back. All he wants from the new schoolteacher is a passable report on his kids so he doesn’t have another problem to deal with. At least that what he thinks he wants from Kenzie Smith. The Wyoming Marriage Association has other ideas. A little nudge here, a little accidental meeting there and who knows what can happen . . . maybe even a family. The Wyoming Marriage Association – Helping love find a way Characters from Patricia McLinn’s Bardville, Wyoming and A Place Called Home trilogies, the Wyoming Wildflowers series, and the romantic suspense Ride the River join forces to bring together people they hope will find love and happiness as they have.

Start Your Family


Book Description

Starting a family is a soul-shaping, world-altering experience. Unfortunately, in a culture of competing values and protracted timelines, couples are increasingly backing their way into parenting or missing it altogether. By the time the average couple tries to have kids, they are often beyond their late twenties and surprised to learn they are sliding past the peak of their fertile years. In Start Your Family, Steve and Candice Watters encourage couples to be intentional about their timeline in the early years of marriage and to trust God to help them boldly launch their families. Responding to the most common doubts and hurdles, they offer biblical inspiration for the questions: Why have kids? When is the best time to start? How can we fit kids into our lives?

Wyoming Wildflowers Box Set Two (A New World and Jack’s Heart, Books 5-6)


Book Description

“If you’ve been feeling burned out and let down by category romance, the Wyoming Wildflowers series will remind you how much there is to love in the genre.” — Writers Club Romance Group Revisit the characters you’ve come to love in The Beginning, Almost a Bride, Match Made in Wyoming and My Heart Remembers in this bundled duo that continues the Wyoming Wildflowers series with Jack’s Heart and its prequel, A New World. Wyoming Wildflowers: Box Set 2 contains moving, passionate contemporary Western romances with a touch of humor that will captivate fans of RaeAnne Thayne, Barbara Freethy and Debbie Macomber. The stories revolve around the loves and lives of the good people of Knighton, Wyoming, including those who own the ranches and those in the little town who keep the health clinic, law office, diner, school and flower shop running. Jack’s Heart Valerie is very pregnant and very lost. Her car is jammed in a snowy Wyoming ditch when a white knight in a cowboy hat shows up. Ranch foreman Jack handles anything that needs handling with cool, quiet competence, including a baby who’s decided it’s time to come into the world. A few years later, Valerie returns to Knighton to thank the hero who delivered her baby. Okay, maybe she’s wondered about him over the years. How could she not? Yes, Jack can handle anything. Except this open, energetic, talkative woman and her short-stuff kid who gets under his guard. Because they demand the one thing from him that he can’t handle – love. A New World Affaire de Coeur contemporary author of the year finalist Before Valerie tried to heal a cowboy in Jack’s Heart, she pushed her cousin Eleanor into the arms of Cahill in A New World. Eleanor refuses to be charmed by the Irish balladeer she hires to strum up business for her Gloucester, Massachusetts, beach restaurant. She's far too practical for a workplace romance ... or to fall for a fantasy-spinner like Cahill. An immigrant with temporary status, Cahill wants to share his future with the strong-minded, too-serious-for-her-own-good Eleanor. But he must convince her of his staying power. And his time is running out. You can continue to follow the lives and loves of the good people of Knighton, Wyoming, in A Cowboy Wedding, a shindig at the Slash-C Ranch that also ropes in characters from other Patricia McLinn romance series. In the newest Wyoming Wildflowers romance, Cahill's brother Kiernan makes the best of a bad holiday road trip in Making Christmas. Readers rave about Jack’s Heart (from 5-star reviews): “Very sweet and sad all at the same time. The gatherings, the glimpses in the Curricks’ life, the way Jack heals the horses, the connection he has with Val and Addie, are all the elements that make this book so lovable. … This is a very distinct book -- like all [the Wyoming Wildflowers books] were. ... The location is amazing, the story of ‘you and me’ is heart-warming, and the grand gesture is the icing on the cake.” “McLinn is the real deal writer. So satisfying.” “Exceptionally well crafted … Attention to detail and precise use of the language highlight quality storytelling.” Praise for the award-winning Wyoming Wildflowers stories: “Nothing short of heart consuming and thrilling. I've loved every one and feel like I know the people personally. I can't wait for the next installment. … Amazing and touching story. … Smart, stubborn and irresistible. … So enjoyable I couldn’t put it down. … Excellent book! I read it straight in one whole day.
