Heart's Haven: December 2014

John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

What's Heart's Haven?

Angel Falls. A sweet little fictional town in East Texas, tucked right up against the gorgeous (and very real) Angelina National Forest. Just outside Angel Falls is a piece of property owned by a crotchety bachelor named Andrew Hart. This taciturn elderly gentleman has a reputation...folks think he sees angels. Talks with them too. Hart's not about to verify that rumor, but then, he doesn't deny it either.

Hanging above the big double gates that front Hart's property, a rustic wooden sign catches the eye of passers by. The sign reads: HEART'S HAVEN. It is said there's a story behind that sign...

On the land backing Hart's huge home, he has built eight small cottages, arranged loosely in the shape of a heart - if one were to look down on the complex from above, that's what they'd see. Seems the old guy has a bit of romance in his bones!

Each unit is fronted by a gate, over which curves a trellised arch. In season, luscious flowers grace the arch. But even when the flowers die out for the year, a pretty little sign hangs above each gate. MAY LOVE FIND ALL WHO ENTER HERE, it proclaims. They're words old Hart borrowed from his grandmother, Lily Hart's hand-stitched tapestry. Lily must have prayed over every stitch, because it is a fact that love almost always does find folks brave enough to pass through the gates of HEART'S HAVEN.

Are you one of those daring souls? If so...the gate's open...come on in.

And that, in a nutshell, is the concept behind the Heart's Haven collections of romance novelettes from White Rose Publishing (a division of Pelican Book Group). Each collection of four sweet romance stories is written by the four-author writing team made up of: Delia Latham, Marianne Evans, Tanya Stowe, and Mary Manners.

This blog is a forum for us to discuss the books, keep readers (that's you!) informed of upcoming collections, and hear what you have to say about Heart's Haven. We love comments, and look forward to yours.
