Before he died, Tommy asked Levi to look out for Tommy’s wife, Val, and their girls, so Levi goes home to Whispering Pines, New Mexico, to fulfill his promise.

There have been discussions in Rom-land, both online and off, about the market for non-inspy books with a lower sensuality rating. There's definitely ...
When I'm reading up on inspirational romance, Margaret Daley's name comes up again and again with regard to romantic suspense. I've seen her name on many, many Love Inspired covers, so I got curious and picked up Standoff at Christmas. The verdict? This one is totally worth your time. ...
