3 Page-Turners Under One Cover from Reader Favorite Michelle Griep!
Can truth and love prevail when no one is as they appear?

The Gentleman Smuggler’s Lady
Cornish Coast, 1815
When a prim and proper governess returns to England from abroad, she expects to comfort her dying father–not fall in love with a smuggler. Will Helen Fletcher keep Isaac Seaton’s unusual secret?

The Doctor’s Woman (A Carol Award Winner!)
Dakota Territory, 1862
Emmy Nelson, daughter of a missionary doctor, and Dr. James Clark, city doctor aspiring to teach, find themselves working side by side at Fort Snelling during the Dakota Uprising. That is when the real clash of ideals begins.

A House of Secrets
St. Paul, Minnesota, 1890
Ladies Aide Chairman, Amanda Carston resolves to clean up St. Paul’s ramshackle housing, starting with the worst of the worst: a “haunted” house that’s secretly owned by her beau–a home that’s his only means of helping brothel girls escape from the hands of the city’s most infamous madam.

My Review:

Michelle Griep is one of my favorite authors, and I eagerly looked forward to reading this collection of stories. I was not disappointed. These novella-length stories feature ladies that exhibit courage, strength, and faith in difficult circumstances.  I loved each heroine in this book and the different historical setting for each story.  The storylines were indeed intriguing and held my attention.  Even though these are shorter stories, each felt complete and the endings did not seem rushed.  The romances are sweet and tender, and the “heroes” are worthy of winning the hand of the heroine in their story.  These stories are the perfect length to read when you need something a little shorter and lighter to read.

This is a collection I’ll be reading again.  This is excellent sweet and clean Christian fiction.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
