The authors will be on hand to mingle with customers and sign copies of these new releases as well as their other titles.

Lynxwiler’s The Reluctant Cowgirl finds actress Crystal McCord giving up the closeness of her big family in order to make a name for herself on the New York City stage. But when life in the Big Apple turns sour, she follows a country road back to her parents’ Arkansas ranch. The last thing she expects to find in cowboy country is a new leading man. Still, she can’t help but imagine handsome rancher Jeremy Buchanan in the role. Will the reluctant pair allow their hearts to guide them, or will their stubborn pride keep them miles apart? Christine Lynxwiler is an award-winning author and past president of American Christian Romance Writers. She has numerous novels and novellas published with Barbour, including Along Came a Cowboy, Alibis in Arkansas, Arkansas, Promise Me Always, and Forever Christmas. She and her husband, Kevin, along with their two daughters, four horses, and two dogs, live in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in their home state of Arkansas.

In Stand-In Groom, wedding planner Anne Hawthorne meets George Laurence and thinks she's found the man of her dreams. But when he turns out to be a client, her dream quickly turns into a nightmare. Will Anne risk her heart and career on this engaging Englishman? George came to Louisiana to plan his employer's wedding and pose as the groom. But how can he feign affection for a supposed fiancé when he's so achingly attracted to the wedding planner? And what will happen when Anne discovers the truth? Kaye Dacus likes to say she writes “inspirational romance with a sense of humor.” She lives in Nashville and graduated from Seton Hill University’s Master of Arts in Writing Popular Fiction program. She is an active member and former Vice President of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), serving as the online course coordinator.

In Gingham Mountain, Hannah Cartwright meets Grant, a disreputable-looking wrangler, and she’s determined to keep him from committing two orphan train children to hard labor on his ranch. How long will she have to play the role of schoolmarm before she gets a chance to rescue the children? Prudence, the town dressmaker, has designs on Grant. Will she succeed in securing his affections? As Grant struggles to run the ranch and raise six orphans, he finds love making tracks to his heart. Will he be caught in a web of deceit or lassoed by the love of one good woman?

She writes plays and shorts stories, and is the author of two other novels, Petticoat Ranch and Calico Canyon. Also an avid blogger, Mary is a GED instructor by day and an author by night.

In The Red Siren, Faith Wescott, a fiery redhead, is a lady by day and a pirate by night. How long can she maintain this dual identity before she's caught red-handed? Dajon Waite, who scours the Carolina coast, expunging it of pirates and smugglers, is a more-than-capable captain in the British Royal Navy. But when asked to take on the guardianship of Faith and her two sisters, he finds himself in deep water. Having vowed to avoid women, what will he do when he begins falling for Faith? Can the all-consuming love of a godly captain redeem a not-so-ladylike pirate? M. L. (MaryLu) Tyndall dreamt of seafaring adventures during her childhood days in Florida. Her love of history and passion for story drew her to create the popular Legacy of the King’s Pirates series. Writing for more than twenty years, she lives on California’s coast with her husband and six children, where her imagination still surges with the sea.
