Book Description
When the Heart Cries (Sisters of the Quilt, #1)When Hannah dares to love across the boundaries of tradition, will she lose everything?

Despite being raised in a traditional Old Order Amish family, seventeen-year-old Hannah Lapp desires to break with custom, forgo baptism into the faith, and marry outside the cloistered community. She’s been in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell for three years, and before returning to college for his senior year, Paul asks Hannah to be his wife. Hannah accepts, aware that her marriage will change her relationship with her family forever.
On the evening of their engagement, tragedy strikes and in one unwelcome encounter, all that Hannah has known and believed is destroyed. As she finds herself entangled in questions that the Old Ways of her people cannot answer, Hannah faces the possibility of losing her place in her family, in her community– and in the heart of the man she loves.
When the Heart Cries is book one in the Sisters of the Quilt series.



She studied him for a moment before she chuckled. "Listen to your boldness. Why, I should have thrown that egg at you this morning." Paul laughed. "Too late."

Save the Date
You are cordially invited to the wedding of the year with the most unlikely bride and groom. Save the date . . . and say your prayers.

When funding for Lucy's non-profit job is pulled, she is determined to find out why. Enter Alex Sinclair, former professional football star and heir to Sinclair Enterprises-the primary donor to Lucy's non-profit organization.
Both Lucy and Alex have something the other desperately wants.
Alex has it all . . . except for the votes he needs to win his bid for Congress.

Bound to a man who isn't quite what he seems, Lucy finds her heart-and her future-on the line.
Save the Date is a spunky romance that will have readers laughing out loud as this dubious pair try to save their careers, their dreams . . . and maybe even a date.


"I'm talking a large sum of money."
She watched him with guarded eyes. "And what do I have to do in return?"
"All you have to do" - his cheek dimpled with a wolf's grin - "is marry me."  -- Save The Date by Jenny B. Jones

Book Description

The Earl's Mistaken Bride (The Parson's Daughters, #1)
As soon as Marcus Brookstone lifts his bride's veil, he sees he's been tricked. He made a bargain with God—to marry a good, Christian girl if his mother recovered from illness. But Marcus intended to marry pretty Amanda, not stubborn Constance. His next plan, to ignore his new wife, fails as well when Constance makes it clear that she wants a true union.

Constance Somerton doesn't dare reveal that she's been enamored of Marcus for years. The man believes love is for weaklings. Someone needs to teach him about marriage's blessings. Someone who sees beyond his arrogance to the tender heart beneath. Someone exactly like Constance….




"This is my home now, Tom Harper, as much as yours," she said,  anger strengthening her voice. "You telling me I'm no good doesn't make it true.  It just makes you the kind of man my father was."
It was the worst insult she could think of, and anyone acquainted with the Bligh family knew it. 
Tom's face turned a deep, brick-red. 
"That might have been an exaggeration," she muttered. Too late - Tom had stalked from the room, surprisingly light on his feet for such a big man.
(Book #1 in The Parson's Daughters series) 

Purchase: Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Christian Book
