    A modern-day Muslim Pride and Prejudice for a new generation of love.

    Ayesha Shamsi has a lot going on. Her dreams of being a poet have been set aside for a teaching job so she can pay off her debts to her wealthy uncle. She lives with her boisterous Muslim family and is always being reminded that her flighty younger cousin, Hafsa, is close to rejecting her one hundredth marriage proposal. Though Ayesha is lonely, she doesn’t want an arranged marriage. Then she meets Khalid, who is just as smart and handsome as he is conservative and judgmental. She is irritatingly attracted to someone who looks down on her choices and who dresses like he belongs in the seventh century.

    When a surprise engagement is announced between Khalid and Hafsa, Ayesha is torn between how she feels about the straightforward Khalid and the unsettling new gossip she hears about his family. Looking into the rumors, she finds she has to deal with not only what she discovers about Khalid, but also the truth she realizes about herself.

    Love at First: An Uplifting and Unforgettable Story of Love and Second Chances Over 300 5-Star Reviews!

    A sparkling and tender novel from the acclaimed author of Love Lettering, full of bickering neighbors, surprise reunions, and the mysterious power of love.

    Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw—or rather, heard—the girl of his dreams. Standing beneath an apartment building balcony, he shared a perfect moment with a lovely, warm-voiced stranger. It’s a memory that’s never faded, though he’s put so much of his past behind him. Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who’s uncannily familiar…

    No matter how surprised Nora Clarke is by her reaction to handsome, curious Will, or the whispered pre-dawn conversations they share, she won’t let his plans ruin her quirky, close-knit building. Bound by her loyalty to her adored grandmother, she sets out to foil his efforts with a little light sabotage. But beneath the surface of their feud is an undeniable connection. A balcony, a star-crossed couple, a fateful meeting—maybe it’s the kind of story that can’t work out in the end. Or maybe, it’s the perfect second chance…

    The Billionaire Blooper: A spicy small town romantic comedy (Hibiscus Bay Book 1) Cade Bradbury. Billionaire island owner, at your service.

    I’m not used to people giving me the finger. Especially people I’ve just met. Especially when I’m standing in front of my own island resort.

    So I’m more than intrigued when cute but feisty Emma Clarke does just that…right after dumping a suitcase full of lingerie onto my sidewalk.

    Questionable lingerie.

    If this girl is who I think she is, then she’s in big trouble. I won’t even bother going to the police to report someone soliciting…er…clients in my resort. I’ll run Emma off the island, and enjoy every second of it.

    Which is what I tell myself until I actually spend time with her.

    Now I’m thinking I might have made a mistake…

    The Accidental Beauty Queen Charlotte Gorman loves her job as an elementary school librarian, and is content to experience life through the pages of her books… Which couldn’t be more opposite from her identical twin sister. Ginny, an Instagram-famous beauty pageant contestant, has been chasing a crown since she was old enough to enunciate the words world peace, and she’s not giving up until she gets the title of Miss American Treasure. And Ginny’s refusing to do it alone this time.

    She drags Charlotte to the pageant as a good luck charm, but the winning plan quickly goes awry when Ginny has a terrible, face-altering allergic reaction the night before the pageant, and Charlotte suddenly finds herself in a switcheroo the twins haven’t successfully pulled off in decades.

    Woefully unprepared for the glittery world of hair extensions, false eyelashes, and push-up bras, Charlotte is mortified at every unstable step in her sky-high stilettos. But as she discovers there’s more to her fellow contestants than just wanting a sparkly crown, Charlotte realizes she has a whole new motivation for winning.

    A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Perennial Classics) Over 4,000 5-Star Reviews!

    The beloved American classic about a young girl’s coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.

    From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit.

    Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior—such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce—no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama.

    By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty.

    The Right Kind of Strong: Surprisingly Simple Habits of a Spiritually Strong Woman Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Award-winning author Mary Kassian provides readers a biblical guide to becoming the strong, resilient, capable women God created them to be.

    Our culture teaches us that it’s important for women to be strong. The Bible agrees. Unfortunately, culture’s idea of what makes a woman strong doesn’t always align with the Bible’s. As a result, Christians often have a skewed view of what constitutes strength. In The Right Kind of Strong, Mary Kassian delves into Paul’s exhortation in 2 Timothy about the women of the church in Ephesus and uncovers warnings and truths about seven habits that can sap women’s strength. She helps readers avoid these pitfalls by

    • carefully considering the people they allow into their lives,
    • taking control of their minds by taking every thought captive,
    • quickly and regularly confessing sin,
    • intentionally engaging their emotions,
    • living out what they’re learning,
    • developing confident convictions, and
    • embracing their human weakness and leaning on the Lord.

    She reveals how, by implementing these seven habits, Christian women can walk in freedom and grow to be strong God’s way.
