Home Town Melody by Milla Holt
Publisher: Reinbok Limited (Release Date: July 24, 2024)
Everything is at stake when a Christian recording artist learns he fathered a child during a one-night stand.
It was just one lapse in self-control, one poor decision, one night when he was in a dark place.
Since then, Levi Falconer has done his best to move past that almost-forgotten illicit encounter. No one knows what he did, and he and his brothers are bringing their contemporary Christian music band back together for a long-awaited reunion album. But he’s about to learn that his night of forbidden passion resulted in a little boy.
Highschool dropout Adria Baines got her real education from the school of hard knocks. After aging out of foster care, she’s no stranger to struggles. She planned on making her own way, even after a surprise pregnancy. But when she runs out of options, she realizes she’ll have to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: get help from the father of her child.
Levi and Adria never should have met. But their lives are on a collision course once again as they learn how God can transpose the broken chords of their mistakes into a beautiful melody.
Sky High by Meredith Resce
Publisher: Golden Grain Publishing (Released: July 5, 2024)
A mid-air crisis. Federal police. Meeting the man of her dreams?
This is Mia Kennedy’s first international trip traveling alone, and her curiosity meant she almost missed boarding.
Embarrassed to have the loaded plane watch her find her seat, she hopes that nothing else will go wrong. But then she is seated next to a man who quickly proves to be an aggressive drunk. What starts out as an annoying situation quickly escalates into a mid-air incident—and Mia is right in the middle of it.
Lachie Fletcher is returning from LA to Adelaide, South Australia, after five years away. He’s hoping for a quiet flight, but becomes increasingly concerned for the young woman seated across the aisle as her traveling companion is not only drunk and belligerent, but becoming a danger to those around. When the cabin crew are forced to take action, they ask Lachie to assist in restraining the man.
Wrong place, wrong time?
Mia Kennedy appears to be overwhelmed by the incident, and more so when both she and Lachie are asked to remain aboard to be interviewed by the Australian Federal Police.
One incident leads to another where Lachie and Mia are thrown together in a circus of mis-happenings, supporting each other to finally reach their common destination.
When the pair are met at the airport by the famous Luella Linley—known for her matchmaking interventions—it could be a sign that they might not part company for good. Or is the mid-air crisis simply a matter of coincidence.
This light-hearted romance visits with some of the favorite characters from the Trinity Lakes Romance series, and the Luella Linley – License to Meddle series.
