Moira grew to womanhood in the realm of Myr, wise in the arts of women.. and utterly innocent of the ways of men. All of that changes tonight. Moira wondered, trembling. She passes through the circle of stones into the world of men. There, she meets Wulfsun, every mesmerizing inch a man, hard muscled and tawny maned. No Viking was more feared, until he captures a maiden as beautiful as moonlit shadows, and is enslaved for all time. He would have her willing or not at all, though his blood coursed hot with wanting. And though Moira wore a golden collar of thralldom, her desire for the mighty warrior was the greater bondage.

She sets about restoring the castle and repopulating the abandoned village with the ragtag stragglers displaced by the horrors of the Black Death, a pandemic that has spared no one, leaving only tragedy and despair in its wake. Widowed In Haste: Stunned that his wife is still alive, yet believing himself damned forever for his life of war and infamy, Nicholas Bayard hides his identity from her and helps her resurrect the castle-one last penance before he enters a monastery. Yet nothing can disguise the passion he finds in Eleanor's arms. With her joy in life and her belief in renewal and miracles, in the tenacity of the human spirit, she's a temptation he cannot resist. But when she learns his true identity, she shows him that love is the greatest miracle of all.

This irresistible classic novel from Debbie Macomber puts a modern spin on an old-fashioned way of finding “the one.” After Caroline Myers gets her heart broken, her beloved great-aunts send her on a spur-of-the-moment northern adventure, equipped with little more than a batch of their special spiked tea. But soon after hopping a plane to Gold River, Alaska, a still loopy Caroline takes part in an odd ceremony that ends with a kiss from her personal tour guide. The next thing she knows, she wakes up with a ring on her finger. Paul Trevor has always wanted a family, but his long work hours and remote location make dating impossible, so he takes an unconventional first step: sending away for a wife. He falls hard for Caroline’s photograph and letter, but after the wedding, it’s clear they’ve both been duped by his new bride’s well-meaning aunts. Caroline’s afraid this trip has been a mistake. Now Paul just needs to convince her it’s the best mistake she’ll ever make. Published by Debbie Macomber Books
