WHAT'S NEW
 
Just in time for Christmas, a brand new release that takes place over the holidays!
 
HEARTS ABLAZE, Book 4: Peaceful Pilgrim Series
by Karen Wiesner
Women's Fiction
Available now in paperback and electronic formats
 
Riley is an ultra-modern woman. She wants a successful career, her own life, and love that sets her heart ablaze. In short, she wants everything. Blaze is old-fashioned, believing marriage means a husband and wife live together, sleep together every night, and eventually raise a family together--and those kids don't spend most of their hours in daycare. There's simply no compromise in the world that could make this thing work.
