And when Darcy learns of her father's last request that she "give it all away," she discovers just how quickl...
Having the local doctor treat Kevin had been her mom’s doing. Lexington General Hospital was a fine institution, but Bebe Bishop didn’t trust any hospital unless Doc Walsh was there to supervise. “You made of rubber or somethin’?” the white-haired doctor asked as he glanced over Kevin’s chart.Kev...
Ah, but Stuart still didn’t know that Matthew was the one to bring the Bandit to life. Even if he never stooped to use them, holding such trump cards over Waterhouse was a rare moment indeed. He’d rather have spent this moment in more private company with Georgia, but polite society had other pla...
The soldier from Atlanta had every right to look annoyed. Leanne had given him completely wrong instructions. She’d been useless in today’s knitting class. She’d been useless in most of her duties, her mind dangerously preoccupied with the one student she no longer taught. ...
When someone mentioned to her that he’d left this morning, she’d told herself to be glad she was rid of this guy. Now he was back? Already? She crossed her arms and sat back on one hip. “Don’t you ever go away?” He looked up with surprisingly weary eyes. “I was heading bac...

“Ellie, darlin’, good to see you. You holding up okay?” Everyone asked her that. Was she? Ellie didn’t know. Nothing felt right, but parts of her still knew she’d made the right choice by breaking it off with Derek. “I think so” had become her standard reply to such questi...
Please, Lord, I know this is Gordon Falls, but would it be too much to ask You to somehow send a grilled smoked gouda sandwich? She peered without hope into the little mechanized windows rotating toward her. Sad, sanitary wedges of breaded ham and tuna salad stuttered into view. Those, and someth...
The warmth that surged through her when Quinn Freeman looked at her had yet to subside. His shoulders were so broad and his skin so tanned, she found her breath catching as she watched him work. Quinn was much more than just physically handsome—he had an energy about him, a presence that pulled f...
Darcy blew her nose on the tissue Glynnis handed her and added it to the six others in her lap. “I know that must have been a jolt to hear.” Glynnis put the clever rooster-themed tissue holder—goodness, the woman even decorated her Kleenex boxes to match—back on the counter. She poured more ice t...
Chad said, pulling open the door even before she got to it. It was his voice, and then again an entirely different voice. A warmer, sunnier version of the voice she’d heard Saturday night. He wore a royal blue sweater, and she wondered if it was just her imagination, or if she’d ever seen him in ...
“God bless Mama, and Daddy in heaven, and Nana and Grandpa in Oklahoma, and Hammie. Help Maria get over her strip throat, and Pastor Summers with his broken leg.” Her daughter’s bedtime prayers were often the highlight of Brooke’s day. Audie had such a tender heart, prayin...
