Just Released: FROM ASHES TO HONOR
Minutes before two jumbo jets changed U.S. history, NYPD officer Austin Finley ignored a call from his brother. Psychiatrist Mercy Samara — whose report cost Austin his job months after 9/11 — escapes her own haunting memories of the tragedy by taking a job as a guidance counselor in Baltimore.
When Austin's EMT crew responds to a 9-1-1 call at the high school where she works, their paths cross.
Will their common memories finally bring them closer... or drive them farther apart?
Just Released: HONOR REDEEMED
One cold November night, a jumbo jet crashes on a busy highway. Honor Mackenzie and Rowdy, her trusty Search and Rescue dog, join the SAR team to search for the tail section in the dark and rainy woods.
Journalist Matt Phillips heads to the woods, intent on getting the story. It takes weeks to figure out why she'd given him such an icy reception: Another headline-hungry reporter — whose less-than-accurate story — ended her career with the fire department. In his effort to prove that not every reporter sacrifices "truth" for "story," he finds himself attracted to the beautiful sad-eyed redhead.
As weeks pass, they discover that SAR missions aren't the only things they have in common. Haunting attachments to 9/11 and the loss of a spouse have kept them lonely and alone...until they find comfort with one another. Much as he and his boys have come to care for her, Matt isn't convinced that Honor will ever fully commit to him or the twins...especially after she takes a job in New York without even discussing it with him.
During his annual ski weekend with the boys, the heartbroken Matt gets word that Honor has gone missing during a search for a lost girl. He leads the search team, desperate to find her before a blizzard moves in. But even if he does, will they find their way back to one another...
...or back to living life alone?

Maverick Heart
Nurse Levee O'Reilly and her husband, Dr. Liam O'Reilly, are headed west to the California Territory to practice medicine when their stagecoach is tragically attacked by the infamous Frank Michaels.
All alone now and grieving, Levee makes her way to Eagle Pass, Texas. The local doctor can't afford to pay a staff nurse, however, and so she turns to the only other option-teaching. Devoted wholeheartedly to her students, Levee has little time for romance.
Deep down, Daniel Neville wants to be a preacher, but he's battled doubts and distrust for most of his life. Wracked with guilt over his twin sister's death and then punished; with a limp from an injury sustained during a stampede, Dan dedicates himself instead to serving his family and working with horses on their ranch. Marriage is far from the top of his to-do list, and he aims to keep it that way.
When a coincidental meeting brings Levee and Dan together, they're awakened to a long ignored desire for love and acceptance by the realization that they might have finally found it. Can these two mavericks accept the plans God has for their lives?
