Valerie Rose
Sometimes searching for love is like waiting for the rain.
When single mum Valerie Rose arrives in Everlynn Valley in the middle of a drought, she doesn't expect to be dousing a perfect stranger with her iced latte. Perfect, and off limits. As chaplain at her son's new school, Owen is definitely... maybe?... surely not an appropriate dating choice... at all...
Owen Campbell has been stuck in a rut of people-pleasing and conflict suppression all his life. He's too nice. But when the new kid, Kai, is picked on at school, it tugs at Owen's inner child. Years of bullies getting away with bad behaviour stops now. What Owen doesn't expect is for Kai's mum, Valerie, to pull at his heart in a different way entirely.
Meanwhile, Nettie Jones, a prayer warrior and spiritual godmother to many, feels led by the Lord to cover Valerie and Owen in prayer. But will it be enough when disaster and devastation hit Everlynn Valley? Or will Valerie and Owen's hope for the future be extinguished for good?

Lost in Wonder
Agnes never expected to receive grace from the man whose pockets she had just picked.
When Henry Watson offers her honest employment as a downstairs maid in his household, her determination to survive shifts to a resolution to prove her loyalty and worth. But the past is a hard enemy to lose, and it soon comes back with a vengeance, sending Agnes across the seas to the convict settlement of Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land, Australia. Though not before she leaves a lasting impression on the master of the house.
Henry never imagined this woman from the streets could undo him so completely.
When Agnes Archibald crashes into Henry's orderly life, he finds himself shaken, questioning societal expectations and wrestling with his faith and God's will for his life. But when Agnes is convicted for a crime she didn't commit and sentenced to transportation, Henry isn't willing to let her go without a fight. Even if it means leaving the only life he knows.
An epic adventure of love and loss, facing fear, and embracing the wonder of God.
