Two new books from Penelope Marzec

LOVE’S GIFT by Penelope Marzec

In 1903, Amaranth Beach is burdened by her ethnicity due to the Chinese Exclusion Acts. Abandoned on a beach as a newborn and raised in an orphanage, she is a skilled secretary, but the threat of deportation looms constantly and all employers turn her away… until Mrs. Tildon of Sea Haven, New Jersey, hires her.

Soon after Amaranth’s arrival, she discovers that the Tildon family secrets run deep—a reprobate father, a long-lost brother, an obnoxious maid who is never fired for her behavior, and William the son who worries too much about what people will think.

When a series of alarming events occur, it’s up to Amaranth and William to unravel the secrets that threaten to destroy the Tildon family.

Can Amaranth heal the family’s divisions with her faith? Or will a greater danger threaten them all.

THE KEEPER’S SECRET by Penelope Marzec

Shucker' s Point, New Jersey never had a murder until now. Jack St. Marie, a well-known research scientist is missing, and Trooper Bryce Johnson believes the worst of Jack' s wife, Evie.

In high school, Bryce loved Evie--enough to want to marry her, but that was before he witnessed her phone in a bogus bomb scare. And only two months before Jack disappeared, Bryce saw Evie aiming a gun at her husband. Can Bryce believe in Evie's innocence when her husband' s body is found in a fishing dredge twenty miles out at sea? Could the most beautiful woman in Shucker' s Point be capable of such a heinous crime? He doesn't want to believe it.

Bryce refuses to let his heart guide the investigation...until someone shoots at Evie. Then he must protect her. But can he protect his heart?

I haven't read Loves Gift yet, but I have read The Keeper's Secret which is a real page turner.

Evie and Bryce loved each other 10 years ago. But then stuff happened (spoilers) and they drifted apart until he’s a cop and she’s his number one murder suspect.
Ms Marzec has done wonders with this story. From characters so real with flaws and scenery so brilliantly described it pulls the reader right in and barely gives them time to pause for breath.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two.

She has sworn to prove herself a skillful leader by protecting her kingdom from foes, but difficulty and danger surround her. Then Judah’s life is saved by two different men who divide her loyalty. One, a fascinating healer, captures the hearts of Judah and her people. The other, a mysterious shepherd, forces Judah to question what she believes to be true. When a conspiracy comes to light that could destroy Judah and her kingdom, a single choice might cost her people everything. Will the headstrong leader prove herself—or find herself trapped? Extract: This was always my favorite part. At a signal, a few young men stepped forward bearing beautifully ornamented boxes. The wood was intricately carved with mountain settings and animals, with graceful accents of gold and precious stones. The first young ma...
