Angry girl energy? Check. Karoline There are only two things I loathe in this world: Valentine’s Day and Mason Kane. Valentine’s Day is actually Singles’ Recognition Day, and Mason Kane is the genesis of my contemptuous heart. I’ve totally moved on, and my life is great. Just great. That is, until both elements of my hatred merge into a nightmare of epic proportions. One: heading the Valentine’s Day marketing campaign for my boss’s jewelry brand as a way to fulfill my internship class. Two: Mason Kane will be appearing in the commercials. Ruining my life again. I can’t mess this up, but how can I pretend everything is fine after how Mason disappeared from my life three years ago? Mason I never thought I’d build a vacation home in Mississippi, but one reason is all I need: Karoline Wright, my childhood best friend, lives there, and I realized a little too late that I was in love with her. But all my grandiose plans to reunite with her are tossed out of the window when I’m ushered into her sphere sooner than expected. Why did I agree to star in a jewelry commercial for Valentine’s Day, and why on God’s green earth is Karoline heading up the campaign? Now, I have to figure out how to get all this boiling hot water between us under a very big bridge. Stat. It’s now or never. I have to weasel my way back into her life and prove myself changed against her rightfully earned suspicions and doubts. And maybe—just maybe—the bricks will crumble away from the mile-high wall she’s built over the past three years. The Designated Valentine is a Christian romance filled with forgiveness, wit, humor, and closed-door swoon.

In retaliation, Harlow has targeted Tennyson’s childhood best friend, Lindsey, along with two other Marines. Accused of murdering a Romanian diplomat, the Marines are being held in a prison in Bucharest, Romania, awaiting a trial they may never see. Thankfully, Tennyson has a secret weapon: Louna Despereaux, master thief, who claims she can break Lindsey and the other Marines out of prison. But as she and Tennyson prepare for the trial, Tennyson begins to suspect that Louna may have ulterior motives in following him to Romania. When an old rival of Tennyson’s shows up and Lindsey goes missing, Louna and Tennyson find themselves planning a Gothic masquerade at a Transylvanian castle as they race to secure the Marines’ freedom. As the trial and the masquerade loom closer, Tennyson and Louna must decide how far their trust—and their feelings—will take them.

Grace Goodwin doesn’t look like a killer. She doesn’t act or think like one, either. But after accidentally witnessing a back alley murder, Grace finds herself the number one suspect and a target of both drug cartel and mafia organizations. There’s no one left whom she trusts except for her Italian pen pal—and she doesn’t even know his real name. Armed with nothing but “Jesus and jokes,” Grace zigzags the globe, running for her life while trying to uncover the truth. Mafia enforcer Rafael Moretti was born into a world of darkness, where disloyalty is deadly and violence is expected. Trying to keep his family safe, he takes on another unwanted assignment. A pink-haired, kitten-loving American has been uncovered as the ruthless assassin known only as “The Ghost.” The longer she eludes him, the more his curiosity is piqued by the cat-and-mouse game they’re playing. But no matter how much he secretly wants her to survive, Rafe knows he will lose everything if he fails in his mission. Will Grace and Rafe discover the truth about their identities before they irrevocably destroy their future? It is a no-spice romance with strong Christian themes, no swearing and no gory violence.

Hopelessly trapped, Grace Goodwin turns to the only man she can trust—the one who’s been chasing her all over the globe under orders to eliminate her, of course.

Rafael Moretti’s determination to get Grace to safety is tested at every turn. He promised not to let anything hurt her again, but each day she spends with him seems to increase their danger. Finding himself unable to protect this woman he is coming to cherish, Rafe has to choose whether to trust the God who has brought them this far or go back to his old ways of crime and deceit. As the world’s syndicates and the elusive Ghost close in, is there any hope of a future for Grace and Rafe together?
