All Gloryanna Griffin needs is a full-ride scholarship to finish her master’s degree in marine biology in order to pursue her dream of saving the ocean. However, to be a serious contender for the money, she needs to publish in a prestigious magazine. A research dive off the Olympic Peninsula is a dangerous proposition but one that just might give her article the impact it needs. But when she’s swept into an underwater vortex, she realizes her life may be the price she pays instead.

When she awakens on the rocky beach―miraculously alive―the first person she sees is the handsome stranger who saved her. Over the years, Jonathan Dawson has saved countless lives from the perils of the ocean. But until now, no one has ever seen him. Nearly eighty years ago, he died on this same beach, and his spirit has been tied to the spot ever since. Now Gloryanna and Jonathan are irrevocably linked as they are plunged into a decades’ old mystery that promises answers to the past and keys to the future. But they soon discover that some secrets may be better left undisturbed.

In a city of millions, can she find her one in a million?

Romance in New York has never been more alluring than in these four novellas. Avery is too hardcore for anything but skateboard competitions.

Her struggling dance studio must compete on live TV against cocky teen boys from the CrossTrain Gym next door. When not just two but four New York girls have this kind of pride on the line, first kisses come only for the price of a stolen heart!

Micah Connors promised his mother he would be good in their new town. But with Christmas only three days away, being escorted home by the sheriff does not bode well. Can the towering officer be trusted not to tell what happened? Perhaps the ramshackle stable that has appeared on Main Street will sidetrack him from spilling the day’s events—or maybe his interest in Micah’s widowed mother will do the trick. The last thing Dawn Connors needs is to hear her son is in trouble. She has enough to worry about with her husband gone and her daughter, Annie, ill. Even though Micah has told his sister the rustic structure in the middle of town is simply part of the town’s holiday decorations, Annie is sure that unseen angels are building the crude stable—which means baby Jesus is coming, and he can make her better. Terrified that his little sister might die, Micah vows to find the baby Jesus for Annie, even if it is only a plastic doll. But as Micah gets nearer to his goal he finds angels are closer than he ever would have believed.

A close friend offends her, her mother is diagnosed with cancer, and her father--who abandoned them years ago--comes back into her life. Just when Syd thinks this nightmare will never end, a time stone takes her to Captain Helaman and his stripling warriors of the Book of Mormon. But Helaman takes the time stone, calls her a spy, and has Tarik--his second-in-command--throw her in the stockade. Tarik learns Syd is a time-traveling girl with fighting skills he's never seen before and falls in love with her. Syd desperately wants to return home to be with her dying mother.

They even threaten to beat up his nerdy cousin, Ethan, unless he joins. His mother finds out and sends him to spend the summer with his Grandpa Quincy, but when Tag learns Ethan will be there as well, he decides enough is enough and runs away. A storm forces him to seek shelter in a cabin where he meets three very different men who have an extraordinary object—a stone that glows brighter than the stars.
