Love on the Rebound!
10 pp · Romance

Judith's marriage to Ned seemed secure until Agnes Kempler, his former fiancée, returns to their small town and rekindles old feelings—or so Judith fears. As Ned helps Agnes set up her new dress shop, Judith's suspicions grow into a consuming anxiety that threatens to unravel the trust at the heart of their four-year marriage. Can she overcome her doubts, or will the shadow of his past romance destroy what they've built together?

Heart of Despair
10 pp · Romance

Ellen Reardon arrives in the dusty, desolate landscape of Medicine Wells with her husband Jim, expecting the ranch-home paradise she'd imagined from magazine spreads—only to find her carefully cultivated dreams crashing against the harsh reality of the dust bowl. As Ellen struggles to accept their modest circumstances and Jim's commitment to his work, her impatience and yearning for beauty threaten to unravel their young marriage. Maude Griffin, a seasoned neighbor's wife, offers her both friendship and hard-won wisdom about making a life in this unforgiving place.

Until Death Do Us Part...
10 pp · Romance

When Sheila married Don Cole, the all-American football star, she thought she was signing up for a lifetime of glamour and adulation—but a career-ending injury forces Don to trade the gridiron for an ordinary life as a bank teller, leaving his wife struggling to accept the man he's become rather than the hero he was. As Sheila clings desperately to memories of Don's glory days, her resentment grows, pushing them both toward a reckoning that will test whether their love can survive outside the spotlight.
