DOWNLOAD EBOOKPopular novelist Gilbert Morris finds fresh romantic, history-based inspiration in Joelle’s Secret. This mid-1800s tale begins with seventeen-year-old Joelle Jones fending off unwelcome advances from her predatory stepfather just after her mother has died. When the man is declared Joelle’s legal guardian, she knows he will have his way with her, so in desperation runs away. Pursued by the stepfather who offers a reward for her return, Joelle cuts her long beautiful hair, poses as a young man, and finds work as a stablehand. She meets a spiritually frustrated treasure hunter who—believing Joelle to be a male—invites her to join a wagon train to gold-rich California. But hard living on the trail makes it harder for Joelle to conceal her identity. When her traveling companion learns the truth, matters of faith and friendship become tense until Joelle helps him realize that God can indeed do all things, and that some things—like true love—are worth even more than gold.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSecret of Research 2022 In life things are not always as they appear. The research community views the vast majority of the researchers as honest, giving, devoted scientist, most of whom are. This is a story of two that have no clue as to the meaning of any of these qualities: Honest: If they can get away with it, so what if it takes a little lie? Giving: Sure, as long as they are the recipients. Devoted: By all means to the all mighty dollar. It is hard to comprehend anyone with such wonderful families could be so using, abusing and deceptive as these two Doctors. For years the two have used their positions in the research community to offer help to those with money and wish to start a family and for some reason are unable to conceive. For the right price they will help them, if things go wrong, so what. That's how it is with black market procedures preformed in a research lab, no matter how elegant they have made it. The customer has no-one to turn to if things go wrong. They are so intent upon doing others in, that they have forgotten one very important fact in business: `Be careful who you trust.' With the government moving in on them they have no clue as to who the true informant is. We can only hope they get what they deserve in the end!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1850, Temperance Peabody, age 32, is a plain yet beautiful woman who has yet to know the thrill of romantic love. Raised in the Oregon territory where her parents established a strict religious colony, she was never allowed to have a suitor but now longs to have a family of her own. After her parents die and a cholera epidemic wracks the colony, Temperance feels called by God to take the surviving orphaned children back East to their extended families. But the only man available to accompany her on the dangerous journey is Thaddeus Brennan, a hard-edged drifter with good reasons of his own to get out of town. Despite the mismatch of Temperance’s purity with Thad’s hot temper, heavy drinking, and distaste for kids, the intensities of their trek help the two find common ground, perhaps enough on which to build a lasting relationship. But life and love are unpredictable. And when another man and woman join the journey, and a shock awaits two of the orphans, this hearty story of faith and new desires duly follows.
