Betrayed by Ronda Hinrichsen

BetrayedPrize Format: Print (U.S. only)

1851: Niagara Falls, New York

The evidence has been well hidden—the Thayers were confident that it was safe from the clutches of the ruthless Murphy Gang. But is has all been in vain. The lawless group is closing in on the family homestead, and seven-year-old Penny is given only one instruction: Run.

After two long years eagerly anticipating her fiance’s return, twenty-year-old Julia Barrett is ready to make a fresh start with Adam Wolcott—even if it means putting her dream of traveling west with the Mormons on hold. But when Adam’s return is overshadowed by the unexpected arrival of a young orphan girl in desperate need of help, Julia is drawn into a dangerous mystery that will threaten all she holds dear.

Divine (House of Oak #2) by Nicole Van

Divine_NVanPrize Format: Print (U.S. only) or e-book

Georgiana Knight—born in the nineteenth century, but now living in 2013—has certain standards when it comes to mysteries. So far, her current mystery has been a terrible disappointment. No ghosts, no dastardly villains, not even an actual murder weapon. Just a suspicious symbol and an old love letter written in her own handwriting. Oh, and there is a time portal in her cellar.

In 1813, Sebastian Carew has his own mystery to solve. As a teenager, he fell madly in love with his childhood friend, Georgiana. Ten years later, he returns from fighting abroad as an eligible man of fortune who must marry. And soon. However, Georgiana has utterly vanished. Can he divine the truth of her disappearance and convince her to marry him before time runs out?

Though continuing in her career as a photographer, Nichole is also now writing historical romance on the side.

GettingHerGroomPrize Format: Print (U.S. only) or e-book

Angela dreams of New York City and the stages of Broadway, but first she has to finish her last year of college. When the student stages are damaged in a flood, she moves the show she has to direct to a local community center in the hopes of raising enough funds that they’ll be able to keep their doors open. But someone wants The Center to fail, and if that means Angela’s show, and her final grade, have to fail as well, they’re totally okay with that.

Alex has had an unhealthy interest (in his opinion) in Angela, who is twelve years younger than himself, since they met the previous summer. He finds himself roped into accompanying her musical and gets caught up in the mystery behind who is trying to shut down the community center. His attraction to Angela only grows as they spend more time together and her interest in him isn’t helping his resolve not to date her.

Whether they’ll be able to make it work after she moves to New York worries them both. But first they have to survive to put on Angela’s show and save The Center.

Wishing on Baby Dust by Lydia Winters

After six years of insanity-inducing hormone drugs and desperate prayers, all Megan has to show for her efforts are enough negative pregnancy tests to fill a bassinet.

Christina has just entered the world of infertility, made worse by the fact her husband isn’t ready to be a father. Their marriage, already hanging in the balance, is being torn apart.

Kyra is struggling with secondary infertility. A baby is priceless, but Kyra feels like she’s being forced to choose which commandment to keep: stay out of debt or multiply and replenish the earth.

When Megan and Christina are assigned as Kyra’s visiting teachers, they all realize that what you see isn’t necessarily what’s beneath the surface. Some secrets aren’t worth the cost of keeping them.
