It's not the wedding of her dreams—or is it? First Comes Marriage by Debbie Macomber Janine Hartman loves her grandfather but balks at his plan to choose her a husband. Zach Thomas, the intended groom, has recently merged his business with the Hartman family firm, and that's the only Hartman–Thomas merger he wants. But Grandfather has other ideas, ideas belonging to a different place, a different time. "It would be a perfect match," he insists. Zach and Janine don't agree. In fact, they agree on only one thing—that Gramps is a stubborn, meddling old man. But…what if he's right? There's no wedding in her dreams—or is there? Sweet Dreams on Center Street by Sheila Roberts (previously published as Better Than Chocolate) Sweet Dreams Chocolate Company has been in the Sterling family for generations, but now it looks as if they're about to lose it to the bank.

Unfortunately, the fate of Sweet Dreams is in the hands of her archenemy, Blake Preston, the bank manager with the football-hero good looks. It's enough to drive her to chocolate.

Michelle Terrill Heath has lived an unconventional life, partly by choice and partly by circumstance. As a teenager, she met the love of her life, Andy, and they have been married for forty-seven years. They are a happy, healthy, and adventurous couple who have discovered how to continue this lifestyle, even through the onslaught of Andy’s Parkinson’s disease. In Your Wildest Dreams, Heath offers a unique and intimate view into their unconventional choices and ways of living. Through examining their own life experiences, which have included both the exotic and the mundane, strategies emerge for living well in all circumstances. For example, they traveled to India to work at an orphanage where they built a 125-foot suspension bridge. Another time in their life, they sailed a thirty-seven-foot trimaran sailboat across the Gulf of Mexico through a major storm. When faced with Parkinson’s, lessons from these experiences buoyed them. When their art business began to fail or when the fidelity of their marriage was tested, more approaches emerged. Lessons are learned that translate directly when faced with the reality of living with an incurable disease.
