The Crow Valley karaoke championships / by Bryan, Ali,1978-author.;
"A year after forest fires sweep through the town of Crow Valley and claim the life of Dale Jepson-karaoke legend, local prison guard, and "all-around good guy"-the community holds a karaoke competition. But when a convicted arsonist escapes from nearby Crow Valley Correctional, the residents learn there's more on the line than a trip to the National Karaoke Championships. Marriages are at stake, jobs are jeopardized, sobrieties threatened, and second chances start to slip away as the community is forced, once again through misfortune, to rally together to save themselves and one another. Told from alternating POVs, each with an intimate connection to the deceased Dale, The Crow Valley Karaoke Championships is a story about the fires we all fight in life-from the smoldering embers to the blazing infernos-and how, ultimately, there is dignity in the struggle to keep singing, to keep fighting, to keep going, to keep living no matter how high the flames get"--

Home sweet Christmas / by Mallery, Susan,author.;
Until Camryn Neff can return to her "real" life in Chicago, she's in Wishing Tree to care for her twin sisters. She's not looking for forever love, not here. But handsome hotelier Jake Crane is a temptation she can't resist, so she suggests they pair up for the season. No golden rings, no broken hearts. At his side, she sees her hometown through Christmas-colored eyes. The cheer is cheerier, the joy more joyful. She thought she had put her future on hold ... but maybe her real life was here all along, waiting for her to come home. New in town, River Best is charmed by Wishing Tree's homespun traditions and warmhearted people. When she's crowned Snow Queen, she's honored but wary. Dylan Tucker, her king, seems like the stuff of sugarplum dreams, but she can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something big. As they perform their "royal" duties--tasting cookies, lighting trees--Dylan's good humor and melty kisses draw her to the brink of love. But she can't let herself fall until she uncovers his secret, even if her lack of faith means losing him forever.
