No Shadow (Prodigal Sons of Cane)
Helen Walton wants desperately to acquire an important, rare manuscript for her library. The only thing standing in her way is Andrew Cane, handsome, affluent, exasperating, and used to getting anything he wants. She isn’t going to cave to his intimidation tactics, no matter how much power he wields in her small town, no matter how deeply she’s tempted to fall for his humor, strength, and generous heart.
Andrew has returned to the small town he grew up in, but he’s only planning to stay a short time. He’s set on purchasing a manuscript for his grandmother, and he won’t let any baffling and (irresistibly) infuriating librarians like Helen get in his way.
He left his hometown and his faith a long time ago, but now they’re both drawing him back. But opening up his heart–to God and to Helen–means taking a risk he hasn’t taken in years.

When her stubborn resolve pushes his sanity and intercepts his heart, his loyalties are put to the test.
Sometimes the hardest choice we make, is the one we must make for love…

Purple Like the West (Colors of Faith)
Margaret Gilbert, a railroad executive’s daughter, is a pampered princess of San Francisco’s wealthy elite. She chafes under the expectation that she will marry for status and dreams of independence. When she joins the local Ladies’ Aid Society, she’s horrified by the treatment of the Chinese immigrant laborers. Vowing to expose the abuse, she begins to investigate the complicated system of slave labor provided to the railroads, but no one will listen to a woman like her.
When she meets Ezra Pendleton, heir to a newspaper empire, she concocts a plan to tell the world- without incurring the wrath of her father. Ezra is the perfect cover. She’ll make her family happy by feigning interest in a very eligible bachelor, become an undercover reporter, and keep her identity a secret.
At least, that was the idea. Margaret starts to wonder if Ezra will turn out to be her plan’s fatal flaw. He is not the sort of man you can string along with flattery. He’s smart, wary, and is hiding a secret of his own. As the city falters under the stress of the Chinese mobs, the situation turns more dangerous than they could have imagined. Racial tensions in the city hit a breaking point and arson hits close to home. By the time the time there is an outbreak of the plague in Chinatown, it seems as if all the darkest parts of the city will be revealed at once.
Margaret and Ezra are thrown together in a common cause, but will their secrets destroy the love that is growing between them? A story of faith, honor, and forgiveness.
