BIBLE AND A .44

A past to redeem, a love to reclaim, and a faith to guide the way.

Jesse Graham returns to Kings Meadow a changed man, determined to atone for the mistakes of his wild youth. He longs to rebuild his relationship with his widowed mother and make amends to those he wronged—especially Willow Foster, the pastor’s granddaughter who once loved him despite his wicked ways. Willow has spent years trying to forget Jesse, guarding her heart against the pain he caused. But his return stirs emotions she thought she’d buried, and she must decide if she can trust the man he’s become.

With a heart surrendered to Jesus, Jesse faces the consequences of his past while serving the community he once shamed. As he works to prove his transformation, he finds himself falling for Willow in a new and lasting way—and hoping for a future that holds more than her forgiveness.

I HOPE YOU DANCE

Can two left feet lead to one perfect romance?

Grant Nichols is a culinary genius but a disaster on the dance floor. When his friend’s wedding calls for ballroom moves, he reluctantly signs up for lessons with Skye Foster, Kings Meadow’s dance teacher and former rodeo queen. Skye spends her days teaching kids ballet and her evenings leading adults in Country Swing, fueled by her own love of dance.

Grant is content as a bachelor, believing his big family gave him all the “kid experience” he’ll ever need. Skye, however, dreams of a future filled with children and a loving partner. Grant and Skye are no match on paper. But when they step onto the dance floor, they move to a love song all their own.
