Season Of Cheer For the first time in years, Christmas brings hope to Bygones, Kansas. But for Josh Barton, Main Street's coffee shop owner, it brings back sad memories he'd rather forget. He's a new man, with a new life and faith now. Still, he hides a huge part of himself from his neighbors—and from one very inquisitive reporter. Whitney Leigh seems determined to uncover the mystery of the town's recent windfall, and Josh could help her. But that would mean opening up his guarded heart. Can a man who thought family and Christmas were only for others find a forever home where he least expects? The Heart of Main Street: They're rebuilding the town one step—and heart—at a time.

Part 3, Valerie Dawson Novella Series THIS BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES – PLEASE READ PART 1 FIRST – Valerie: Trapped Australian English Spelling PLEASE NOTE: Each book in the Valerie Dawson Novella Series is a 'SERIAL SHORT READ' compared to the full-length standalone novels in the Andy Knight Series. Yes, that means there will be cliffhangers! ABOUT THE VALERIE DAWSON NOVELLA SERIES Whilst the Valerie Dawson Novella Series can be read on its own, it was originally written as a novella side-series to compliment the full-length novels in the Andy Knight Series. Reading these series together will provide a richer reading experience as the characters’ stories are intertwined throughout both series. Each part of the Valerie Dawson Novella Series is time sensitive and has a recommended reading order to avoid spoilers, although if preferred you can read each series separately. FIRST READ either ‘Just Play Along’ OR ‘Valerie: Trapped’. Then, to avoid spoilers, the following reading order is recommended: 1. Valerie: Trapped (Part 1, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) 2. Just Play Along (Book 1, Andy Knight Series) 3. Valerie: Isolated (Part 2, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) 4. Bones of Deception (Book 2, Andy Knight Series) 5. Valerie: Bound (Part 3, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) 6. Valerie: Desperate (Part 4, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) 7. Hidden Lies (Book 3, Andy Knight Series) Please note: Valerie: Isolated contains some small spoilers if read before Just Play Along, but it can still be read first, if preferred. The reading order of the combined two series is flexible and most books can be read in your preferred order with only minor spoilers, but it is highly recommended to read Bones of Deception (Book 2, Andy Knight Series) before reading Valerie: Desperate (Part 4, Valerie Dawson Novella Series) as it contains major spoilers and should be read in the correct order.
