In Becky Wade's "Because of You," Maddie Winslow has spent years in love with a man whose heart was already spoken for, but when a church Christmas project brings them together and she finds a family brooch, might it finally be her turn for love? In Karen Witemeyer's "Gift of the Heart," widow Ruth Albright uses the family brooch as collateral for a loan from the local banker, but the more she comes to know the man behind the stern businessman, the more she hopes for a second chance at love. In Kristi Ann Hunter's "Legacy of Love," Sarah Gooding never suspected returning a brooch to an elderly woman would lead to a job, or introduce her to the woman's grandson. And in Sarah Loudin Thomas's "A Shot at Love," Fleeta Brady's rough-and-tumble childhood means she prefers hunting to more feminine activities. She never expected her family's brooch might be how a fellow hunter turns her attention from competition to romance. 2018.
