Synopsis
Savannah Drake would be thrilled about starting her final year of
medical school if it weren’t for one thing: she has to spend a month
working in the emergency room with cold, aloof Dr. Wesley Kent as her
mentor. When her first day in the ER proves to be a humiliating
disaster, Savannah is ready to swear off emergency medicine forever.
Gradually, though, she finds that the unpredictable, emotional
experience of caring for patients in the emergency room is affecting her
far differently than she expected – and Dr. Kent turns out to be
anything but the arrogant attending physician that she assumed him to
be. But just when Savannah finally admits to herself that she is falling
for Dr. Kent, she learns that things at the hospital are not all what
they seem. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, Savannah must
decide between her future career and everything that she has come to
care so much about.
About the Author
TJ Amberson hails from the Pacific Northwest, where she lives with
her husband and nutty cocker spaniel. Her most recent novels include The
Kingdom Of Nereth, Fusion, and Love at Lakewood Med. When she’s not
writing, TJ can probably be found enjoying a hot chocolate, pretending
to know how to garden, playing the piano, or surfing the Internet for
cheap plane tickets.
Doctor Kent scratches his chin. “She has hiccups?”
“No. She believes that she is a hiccup, and she states that
she has been a hiccup for a long time. Oh, and she would like to go
home.”
He arches an eyebrow. “I see. Does she have any signs and symptoms of someone who is a hiccup?”
I’m hit with a pulse of alarm. Doctor Kent isn’t kidding.
Did I miss a class about patients being hiccups? Or is there a different
meaning of ‘hiccup’ that I’m not thinking of? How—
“I’m only messing with you.” Doctor Kent gets to his feet.
“What?” I’m not sure whether to laugh or kill him. “You . . . you were . . .”
“I’ll go give her my blessing so she can go home.”
Doctor Kent heads off to Room Seven. I gaze after him. I
have to admit that what he did was kind of funny. Actually, it was
really funny.

The Celery Patch
(Amish Acres #1) By Samantha Bayarr
Amish, Christian Romance
Paperback & ebook, 265 Pages
June 21st 2018
When a celery patch mysteriously crops up overnight in the Yoder's field, it attracts some unwanted suitors competing for Naomi's hand.
Someone has grown an oversized patch of celery in Naomi's family field and now she's being accused of trying to "catch" a husband. Will rumors spread by a jealous friend damage her reputation and threaten her chances of marrying the man she loves?
“I’m getting married this wedding season, too!” Naomi Yoder blurted out before she could stop the words from pouring from her lips. Her sister, Ruthie, sucked in her breath and covered her mouth, then quickly recovered from the shock. Her best friend, Katie Troyer, squealed and pulled Naomi into a hug. “So he asked you, then?” Katie gushed, a giggle exploding from deep within her.
Not exactly! Ruthie sat across from them. “Who asked you? Jeremiah?” Naomi nodded, enjoying the attention she was getting over her fake announcement. Annie Lapp, who’d walked over to their house to discuss a community quilt project, sank into the wicker chair nearest the swing where Naomi and Katie sat. “I don’t believe you, Naomi; you’re a liar!” Naomi felt her blood run cold despite the heat of the morning sun beaming across the covered porch; her heart drummed against her ribs like a team of horses galloping at full speed. Of course, it was a lie, but she didn’t have much experience with lying the way Annie did; was it possible the girl’s bad habits were rubbing off on her? She hadn’t meant to say it, especially in front of Annie, who was the biggest gossip in the community. If only Katie hadn’t made her jealous with her own wedding news to Benjamin Mast. Not only had it made her worry that she was the last to make such an announcement from her age group, but Naomi just couldn’t take another minute of Annie’s or her sister’s teasing. Hearing the word spinster coming from her own sister’s mouth had caused her to overreact, and now it was too late to take it back. Not only would Annie tell the entire community about her lie, but she would also add her own lies to make the situation worse. Annie annoyed her with her constant invasive prying, just so she’d have something to gossip about. Well, this time, Naomi had gone and given her plenty to wag her tongue about.

Excerpt (Jackson)
“Here, have a cupcake.” She almost shoved one in my mouth, putting an end to my complaining. She took the other one and bit a big chunk out of it. A small moan escaped her lips, causing me to inhale the cupcake instead of swallowing it. I sputtered and coughed the crumbs that went down the wrong pipe. Her closed eyelids and that sweet little sound of enjoyment made me lose my train of thought.
“You okay?” Jane tapped my back, unaware of the effect she had on me.
“Fine,” I gasped.
“Take it easy on the treasure there. That stuff isn’t for the faint-hearted.” Her eyes twinkled, but her words sunk deeper. I better be careful with her.
“Apart from almost killing you, did you like it?” she asked.
“It was good.”
“Just good? Mine was divine. Here, have a taste.” She held out her cupcake, and my hand folded around hers. My gaze dipped down to the sweet in her hand and moved up to her face. She urged me on by moving it closer to my mouth.
“Mhmm, that is good.” Her fingers brushed my lips as I tasted her offered treat.
“Now it’s only fair you let me taste your caramel one.” She leaned in and indicated for me to offer a taste of mine. Her teeth bit into it, and her lips closed around her bite as her eyelids shut in pleasure.
“Mhmm.” She pulled away slightly, and I noticed a small trace of frosting on her upper lip.
“Here.” I held her face with my free hand and rubbed the smudge away. Her eyes widened, but she didn’t pull back.
“All gone,” I whispered.
“We better get back,” she replied, her voice thick.

moved their family of three children to Utah. From there they moved to
Hawaii and Arizona, finally coming back to Oregon in 2015. Their three

entertained and uplifted by her stories. When she’s not writing, she
loves to paint (watercolors, oils, and acrylics), sew, knit, crochet,
and read (of course!).
She thought of Brenda. No, she couldn’t. Brenda drove her crazy. She
still wasn’t sure her in-laws realized she wasn’t moving in with them.
Her mind automatically landed on Nick. She could call him. He would take
her to the hospital. She wasn’t sure she should be driving anyway. If
she had a contraction on the way to the hospital, she could get in an
accident. She shivered. She tapped Nick’s speed dial number.
He picked up on the first ring.
“Sara,” he started. “I’m sorry. I mean, I’m not sorry I kissed you.
I’ve wanted to kiss you for a long time, but I’m sorry I didn’t give you
more warning or whatever, so you were prepared and didn’t think I was
kissing you to prove a point. I know you were upset, and I was trying to
be supportive, and I heard what Mitch said and it worried me, and I was
trying to comfort you, and I just got carried away when you were
talking about Peter, and I just don’t want you to think I was trying to
take advantage of you because I wouldn’t do that. I really do care about
you.”
Finally, he took a breath.
“Good,” she said with a glimmer of a smile after his rambling, “because I need your help, again.”
“Sure, anything. What can I do for you?”
“I need a ride.”
“Did your car break down? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m at home, but I can’t drive. I’m in labor.”
“Oh,” He paused. “Oh! I’ll be right there!” The line went dead and
Sara smiled, knowing she had called the right person. Regardless of
where things stood at the moment, she knew Nick would take care of her.

After the death of her Aunt Jetty, the woman who raised her, Matilda
White packs a single suitcase, leaving behind her home, her small town
in Kansas, and the man she’s supposed to marry.
Henry Craig is a writer—if only he could find the right words. While
sitting at a worn table in a Detroit library he sees a new librarian,
Matidla, and suddenly the world erupts with words.
Six years later, Matilda and Henry load their young daughter Lucy,
two antique typewriters, and a box of Henry’s love letters into the car
and head off to a new life. But one snowstorm and a slippery road take
it all away. In that black moment of tragedy Matilda turns to Henry and
says, “I wish I’d never met you.”
The world goes dark.
Matilda wakes up in Jetty’s dilapidated house with no memory of the
last six years. Beside her on the bed, a book and an antique typewriter.
Henry wakes up in his familiar spot in the library, a book and old
typewriter squatting on the table beside him. He can’t remember the last
six years.
Can words on a typed page, sent from one typewriter to another, push aside tar-thick pain and resurrect love?

Somehow, in spite of all their silliness, they found themselves at her building. So engrossed in her company, he hadn't realized where she'd been leading him. He accompanied her up the walkway to the stoop. The lantern beside her front door glowed yellow, illuminating her bright hair. Her cheeks were pink with cold. Were her lips cold too? He imagined warming them with his own.
She took both his hands in hers. "Thank you for tonight, Alex. I had so much fun."
"I should be thanking you," he said, his gloved hands holding fast to hers. "You planned the evening." He didn't want to let her go. Didn't want to say good night. It wasn't that late, was it?
"I'm glad." She paused, gazing up at him, and for a moment he forgot to breathe. His mind went blank as he lost himself in her beautiful brown eyes.
Then it hit him. She was waiting for him to kiss her.
His heart thudded and for an instant he was back in time, once again an awkward sweaty fifteen year old who'd never kissed a girl.
Quick, dummy! A voice inside him hissed. Make your move before she changes her mind.
Christie Logan writes sweet romance straight from the heart. She lives in upstate New York with too many pets, too many dust bunnies lurking under the bed, and too many plot bunnies bouncing around in her head. She thinks everyone deserves a happy ending and in her books, they get one.
