Harrison Dyer left England to escape his painful past, but a storm at sea sweeps him into a world he never imagined. In the ancient kingdom of Siam, he meets Lamai, an alluring translator with scars of her own. To earn his way home, Harrison agrees to work for Lamai’s employer, a wealthy Portuguese businessman with dark appetites. Abandoned by her father, the half-English, half-Siamese Lamai isn’t sure she fully belongs anywhere. She’s remained in Siam in hopes that her father will one day return, but her position leaves her in an apprehensive state of limbo. Surprisingly to both Lamai and Harrison, their tentative working relationship is a comfort and soon blossoms into a richer, more complicated connection. But when he makes a shocking discovery of abuse and corruption, Harrison must risk his own freedom and a chance at happiness with Lamai for a greater cause. Only if they put their heads—and hearts—together can they finally find the peace and love they’ve been seeking. Sensuality Level: Sensual

We too must pray for our daily needs and the needs of others, to learn to depend on our Father, knowing that no matter what our daily bread means, God is providing. In this inspiring book, authors D.V. Whytes dissect the Lord's Prayer and encourage the reader to look at this centuries-old prayer in a new light. Love Beyond Measure helps readers to apply the Lord's Prayer directly to their lives by reflecting on personal experiences and Scripture. 'love Beyond Measure is a fresh look at the Lord's Prayer. Jesus gave us the perfect model for prayer, and the Whytes have shown that it contains lessons for practical living. One of His remarkable traits was His ability to use stories and natural situations to help us understand spiritual truths. The many references to life's situations help make the implications of the Lord's Prayer come alive.' —Reverend Wally Odum

Is love enough to heal the pain of the past? Olivia Bailey and her sister know one thing for certain: they are in dire need of some time away from their normal, work-driven lives. While their bakery business has served them well, neither realized just how strenuous running their own business would be. Eager for a change, the girls set off for a trip around Scotland. But things quickly go awry when an unlikely incident sends Olivia tumbling off the side of the Quiraing on the Isle of Skye. Rather than meeting her near-certain death, she opens her eyes to find herself transported through time and hidden away in a castle with two of the most damaged, but handsome, men she’s ever laid eyes on. She knows she needs to find a way back home to her sister, but as time passes, Olivia realizes that the only way for her to find peace might just be to accept where fate has placed her. With friends among the castle’s staff and their intriguing laird to keep her occupied, the heartache of being ripped away from the life she knew before begins to heal. However, despite Olivia’s efforts to move forward, her troubles are far from over, and she may be in more danger than she ever could have imagined… Paton Buchanan thought his sacrifice would mean something when he willingly stepped into the land of the fae to save his friend.

Will his love for her be enough to convince her to stay, or will he be forced to lose yet another person he loves? And if she does stay, do they have what it takes to keep one another safe from the outside threat that looms over them both?
