<span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">The thirteenth
novella in the series.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">Welcome back
to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays...
and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">Cici, Candy
Crothers, lies to everyone, except her Holiday Diner boss, only because he
informed her if she lied to him he'd fire her. She ran away from an ugly past
and still worries it might catch up to her. Sharing her nightmares is nowhere
on her list of things to do, ever.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">Trace Brown
left the Army honorably but not unscathed. Anger controls his life, holding him
back from pretty much everything, including becoming a chef at Holiday Diner.
The diner's head hostess intrigues him, but not enough to risk sharing his
day-to-day battle with PTSD.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">Nothing can
drive God away. His hand is stretched out still. He is always there, waiting...</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The ninth novella in the series is here...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Welcome back to
Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except
holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Her
life a mess, EMT Belle Carlisle wants a fresh start. She's lived in
Holiday a few years and likes it well enough. She's happy, mostly. 'Be
Bold' is her personal aphorism, but it was never intended to include
asking a man on a date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Born and raised in Holiday, Vince Timmons
is certain the prettiest EMT on the planet could never be interested in
a younger man. Besides, his life is a mess. Not to mention the woman he
pursued for over a year humiliated him in public. The last thing he
needs is to fall for another woman who doesn't want him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Man looks on the outward appearance and judges accordingly. God looks on the heart...</span><br />
