The love shack / by Foster, Lori,1958-author.;
"When Berkley Carr opened The Love Shack Animal Haven, she thought she'd finally put her past behind her. But sometimes she feels the sting of the scandal from her youth, especially when she keeps crossing paths with her handsome neighbor. So, she keeps her head down and pours all her love into caring for animals. Lawson Salder moved to Cemetery, Indiana, to escape from the grinding poverty of his childhood. He barely knew Berkley from their old neighborhood, but every time he sees her, the shame and pain come crashing back. He knows she's got major baggage of her own. They're better off just avoiding each other. But that's downright impossible in a town full of matchmaking busybodies. Then there's the hard-to-ignore attraction they feel every time they see each other. When the universe is conspiring to bring them together, will Berkley and Lawson let past hurts go and embrace the love they deserve?"--Publisher.

Leaving Wisdom / by Butala, Sharon,1940-author.;
"Leaving Wisdom begins with the wrong kind of bang when retiring social worker Judith falls on the way to her retirement party. Her ears still ringing and her strength compromised by a shaky recovery, Judith moves back to the town of Wisdom, Saskatchewan, near the farm where she grew up. There she confronts many unanswered questions: Why was her father, a World War Two veteran, so troubled? What are her brother and sister hiding from her? And more immediately, is a serious crime unfolding in the house next door? Small town bigotry and shady goings-on make Judith's search for answers even more bewildering. As she attempts to untangle the mysteries that ensare her at every turn, more complicated and wider ranging questions arise as she uncovers the truth about her damaged father. This thought-provoking and very readable tale depicts the suffering that comes from family secrets, and one woman's late-life awakening to the complex shadows cast by World War Two and the Holocaust."--Back cover.

The Paris hours / by George, Alex,1970-author.;
"One day in the City of Lights. One night in search of lost time. Paris between the wars teems with artists, writers, and musicians, a glittering crucible of genius. But amidst the dazzling creativity of the city's most famous citizens, four regular people are each searching for something they've lost. Camille was the maid of Marcel Proust, and she has a secret: when she was asked to burn her employer's notebooks, she saved one for herself. Now she is desperate to find it before her betrayal is revealed. Souren, an Armenian refugee, performs puppet shows for children that are nothing like the fairy tales they expect. Lovesick artist Guillaume is down on his luck and running from a debt he cannot repay-but when Gertrude Stein walks into his studio, he wonders if this is the day everything could change. And Jean-Paul is a journalist who tells other people's stories, because his own is too painful to tell. When the quartet's paths finally cross in an unforgettable climax, each discovers if they will find what they are looking for. Told over the course of a single day in 1927, The Paris Hours takes four ordinary people whose stories, told together, are as extraordinary as the glorious city they inhabit"--

Wild and wrangled / by Sage, Lyla,author.;
"Camille Ashwood had always loved a plan. Her latest was her best yet. She was going to get married so she could secure her daughter's future, get her overbearing parents off her back, and finally start building her own life in small town Meadowlark, Wyoming. Easy, right? But when her groom doesn't show up to the wedding, Cam's life is turned upside down-she doesn't even have a place to live. That is, until she finds out the house she's loved since high school is available to rent. There's only one problem: the neighbor. Dusty Tucker has spent nearly all of his adult life running. Running from what, though? More like who: Cam Ashwood. But ever since he returned home last year, the girl who was his first, well, everything has become a woman seemingly determined to keep him at arm's length. And he was okay with that-at least, that's what he kept telling himself. She was getting married, after all. But now she's single and living next door. Dusty wants to show her that they can be friends, and that he can stay put. Despite her best attempts to stay far away from Dusty Tucker, Cam realizes that being close to him is like slipping on her favorite jeans. Easy. Comfortable. That is until past wounds start to open and feelings-both old and new-wreak havoc. Nearly ten years after they first met, Dusty and Cam begin to wonder if their first love can also be their last. And this time, will it be forever?"--
