Grown up as a lumberman's daughter, Colette Palmer has understood the industry since her youth. But she doesn't understand God's plan. She's always loved Manason Kade, even though she is only a child to his memory. Separated from him and led by her impulsive, compassionate nature, she marries the newly widowed Harris Eastman, an ambitious speculator who has secretly sworn to ruin Kade using any means or anyone necessary. Denying the pull of his flesh to other quarters, Manason has come to set down roots and build his own dreams in the Wisconsin wilderness. Then one day Manason and Colette meet again. Now Colette must decide between her first love and her commitment to a difficult marriage.

The Red Fury
by Naomi Dawn Musch
As fires rage across the land, Laina may be consumed by the fury that burns inside her.
Laina is a young woman who is aquainted with loss. Embittered by the death of her true love and spurned twice since, she sees herself as an unloveable shrew on whom God has turned His back. As a result, Laina hardens her heart to the prospect of love and walks away from God. She finds solace instead in seeking adventure and breaking the rules. At the same time, she comes across a pair of brothers, Zane and Kelly Beaumont, both drifters suffering their own embitterments and levels of "soldier's heart" since the (Civil) war. When these three meet, events spin out of control, culminating at a time when our nation faced the most devastating fire in it's history - the Great Peshtigo Fire - where thousands of lives and nearly 3,000,000 acres were destroyed. And if Laina will allow the spark of love inside her to flame again, it may tear them each apart.

The Black Rose
by Naomi Dawn Musch
Beauty masks the color of a twin sister's soul. But desire may reveal who she is to all.
As the logging days reach their golden era in the growing state of Wisconsin, twins Jessilyn and Corianne grow up with loving parents among georgous rose gardens that surround their estate on the shores of Lake Superior. But when jealousy incites one twin to seduce the other's fiance, she finds that the fall from grace into Wisconsin's boom town brothels is long and hard. Still, repentence isn't only necessary for those who commit the obvious evils in the world. Her twin's bitterness may be hidden, but she, too, needs God's forgiveness. Only by His grace can they both begin new lives, and budding love can bloom in places neither of them expect.
