Meet Me at The Grand: A Jonathon Island Novel

"The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren. The last thing she needs is for some big-city know-it-all to destroy everything she loves… Tourism director Dani Sullivan is desperate to save her island home from bankruptcy—and that means rebuilding the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-glorious hotel that burned to the ground ten years ago. And, in the aftermath, tore apart her family. So yes, she’ll bring in an outside developer to help ignite the project. But his too-modern, out-of-touch vision isn’t at all what Jonathon Island needs…or is it? It’s his last chance to get everything he wants…and she’s standing in the way. Architect Liam Stone isn’t a fan of small towns located in the middle of nowhere. But when his about-to-retire father hands him the assignment to rebuild the Grand, it’s his chance to prove he can take over the company. Only problem—the stubborn tourism director-slash-protector of Jonathon Island refuses to see things his way. Maybe Liam can change her mind. Except Dani’s plan is the same. Change Liam’s mind, make him see what he might be missing. Hopefully without getting her heart involved. And when another builder shows up with big plans…suddenly Liam sees what’s at stake, and it isn’t only the Grand Hotel. But is it too late to save everything he’s started to love? It’s a battle for the future of Jonathon Island in this heartwarming fish-out-of-water, rivals, and fresh-starts small-town romance, the first in the Jonathon Island series. Great for fans of: City mouse/country mouse (or big-city guy, small-town girl) Opposites attract Fish out of water Reluctant ally"

Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Before Brent and Wes died, they had signed up for a race of a lifetime-an ultra-marathon in beautiful New Zealand. Eva begs Angela to run the race with her in their husbands' place, and Angela finally agrees, hoping to finally understand her husband's choices. Training is exhausting, and the race is even more demanding. Their journey grows more complicated by the presence of two men-Marc is Brent's best friend who is running the race with Eva and Angela, and Simon King is a writer who is covering their inspiring story. With every step, Eva and Angela must ask themselves questions that they haven't had the courage to ask before. As the women literally put one foot in front of the other, they wonder: Is it possible to find their way forward in hope?"

The Secrets of Paper and Ink

"Brought together across time by a love of story, three women in England fight to defy expectations, dream new dreams, and welcome love into their lives. As a counselor, Sophia Barrett is trained to help people cope with their burdens. But when she meets a new patient whose troubles mirror her own, she realizes she hasn't dealt with the pain of her recent past. After making a snap decision to get away for the summer, Sophia moves overseas to an apartment above a charming bookstore in Cornwall, England. She is hopeful she will find peace there surrounded by her favorite thing: great literature. Bookstore owner Ginny Rose is desperate to save her business without asking for help from a husband who's decided to take a break from their marriage. Ginny never imagined she'd be solely responsible for keeping afloat her husband's dream, but the unexpected friendship with her new renter has her feeling more optimistic. Between the two of them-and Ginny's brother-in-law, William-the bookstore might stand a chance. Then Sophia finds a notebook in the bookstore that contains journal entries from Emily Fairfax, a governess who lived in Cornwall more than 150 years ago. Sophia learns that Emily harbored a secret passion for becoming an authoress-as well as a deep love for her childhood friend, Edward, whose station she dared not dream to touch. Eager to know more of Emily's story, Sophia goes on a quest-dragging Ginny and William with her-to discover the heart of the woman behind the beautiful entries. Soon Ginny's need to save the bookstore becomes more than a way to save her marriage, and Sophia finds new purpose of her own. Together they find that sometimes both heartache and hope can reach across the centuries. 'A historical mystery and sweet modern day story entwine to offer a message of healing, hope and second chances set in charming Cornwall.' -Rachel Linden, author of The Enlightenment of Bees "In a delightful weaving of past and present, Lindsay Harrel creates authentic characters around a moving story that both inspires and encourages. The Secrets of Paper and Ink is about broken people, second chances, hope, and-my personal favorite-the incredible power of story." -Heidi Chiavaroli, Carol award-winning author of Freedom's Ring and The Hidden Side "In The Secrets of Paper and Ink, Lindsay Harrel explores the power of love-and how it influences us to make choices that bless others, as well as ourselves. Or sometimes, we can do just the opposite and make choices that harm us and others-all the while calling it love. Harrel pens an honest, true-to-life novel that's woven through with the Truth that offers hope when our decisions-or the decisions of the ones we love-wreck our dreams for happily ever after." -Beth K. Vogt, Christy-award winning author"
