Can they find belonging, when grudges overshadow their hope?

Yountville, California 1882

Carmen Lidia Juarez grew up in her Mexican familia, but after her American mother abandoned her as a child, she was unwanted by her father. He has held her responsible for her mother’s choices and is eager to have Carmen married and out from under his care. But when her abuelo shocks them all by naming Carmen, Patrona—head of the Juarez family—Carmen must decide if she will stay with her family and endure the dissension Abuelo’s announcement created, or find a way to escape and leave it behind.

Captain Zachary Mason blames himself for the death of his best friend while they were in the Cavalry. His physical scars are nothing compared to the guilt he bears and the medals he was awarded that should never have been his. On a mission to establish a veteran’s home in Yountville, California for veterans of the Mexican-American War, Zach must navigate how to achieve his task and find forgiveness when the reminder of war heroes and long-held grudges continue to chase him.

Can Carmen and Zach find redemption in forgiveness, or will old and new resentments prove that a place to belong is merely a dream?

Danger lurks in the shadows...

Aimee Walthers never expected returning to her childhood home would result in both a stagecoach robbery and coming face-to-face with Wyatt MacAllister, her childhood nemesis. Tasked with caring for her orphaned nieces, she determined to ignore Wyatt and survive the days of grief and mourning. Her plans are shattered when an unexpected evil arises, intent on silencing anyone whom it deems a threat.

Deputy Wyatt MacAllister never expected to almost die during a stagecoach robbery investigation. Determined to catch the criminals, he reluctantly joins forces with Aimee …who is both a target and one of the few who can identify those responsible.

As their enemies close in and questions remain unanswered, threats increase in severity, and lives are endangered, bringing the chilling realization that danger—and death—are closer than Aimee and Wyatt imagined.

Heart of Strength is part of the Hearts of the West, a series of standalone Christian historical romance novellas.

Patriot at the River...A Christian Historical Novel of the American Revolution (For Liberty and Conscience Book 2)

✯

The fight he got wasn’t the fight he wanted...

It’s 1780, and North Carolina is a battleground. Backcountry scout Benjamin Woodbridge is guarding a Patriot camp when he sees the king’s men pursuing a civilian. Never one to stand by while someone is in trouble, Benjamin steps in to help the stranger and finds an unexpected ally.

But the same British officer who targeted the stranger also targets Benjamin’s settlement. After Benjamin is wounded on a lonely mountain trail, he watches sunrise fall to the man who crushed his father’s cause nine years earlier. Benjamin’s fight has come home to the very people he wanted to protect—his shy younger sister and the woman who has given them both a home.

Now, with the help of some unlikely comrades and the indomitable Aunt Kate, Benjamin must fight for what he loves before his settlement goes up in flames. But only if he can fight himself first.

Perfect for fans of Christian historical fiction and tales of bravery and redemption, Patriot at the River combines engaging characters, unfamiliar history, and biblical truth. Read now and step into an adventure of faith and freedom.

Rachel J. Good

Heart of Joy

✯

• Publisher : ‎ Prayerful Productivity (August 13, 2024)

A Perilous Calling. . .

Declaring she’ll never marry, Emily Spenser leaves behind a comfortable life and a heartbroken fiancé to follow God’s call to the Wild West with her preacher father. They settle in Bodie, California, known for its lawlessness, but their mission plunges them into peril. Even greater danger awaits when Emily risks her safety and reputation to rescue outcast children.

Haunted by his inability to save his wife from a vigilante posse, Nathaniel Lockwood, a young widowed father, makes it his mission to protect the naïve preacher’s daughter from the town’s threats. Emily’s refusal to heed his warnings sets off sparks between them and jeopardizes her life as well as Nathaniel’s family. Will she survive a kidnapping, outlaws, and challenges to her faith?

Through it all, Emily learns that God’s plan for her life can bring unexpected joy even in the most troubling circumstances. But can Nathaniel, who is angry at God, find the same peace? Or is he destined to live his life heartbroken and alone?

With life-or-death stakes, pursuit by outlaws, and friction between a strong-willed captor and his captive, this inspirational romance explores themes of faith, grief, second chances, and the power of unconditional love. Filled with Wild West grit, seeds of hope and joy always remain . . . even when planted in the rockiest terrain.

This touching story shows that even in the darkest moments, God can light the path to redemption and the heart of joy.

The Root of the Matter

✯

Publisher: ‎ Blue Rock Press (July 13, 2024)

She’s terrified.
Time travel. The North Atlantic in winter. Which is worse?

Geneva Fielding is a researcher in the Archives of the Applied History department, prepping time travelers for their destinations. She loves the smell of old paper and chocolate croissants.

One day, a Traveler fails an important test and cannot go. Instead of canceling the Trip, the dean appoints Geneva and her friend Peter Donatelli, a physicist, to take his place. They have three days to prepare to Travel to 1630s New England.

Geneva’s always wanted to know more about John Winthrop. Maybe she can even get a dissertation topic from the Trip. But the truth is, she’s scared stiff. No one knows her private struggles. And she’s not about to tell.

Geneva and Peter are dumped into an early, struggling Massachusetts, the Puritan inhabitants having escaped the persecution of the Crown only to face a howling wilderness. Roger Williams’s arrival sends shockwaves through the frail colony.

Can the Bay Colony afford to allow a critic of the king to dwell among them?

And what will Geneva do when she discovers Peter’s secret?
