  Collector Of Burned Books

  $32.99

  In this gripping World War II historical about the power of words, two people form an unlikely friendship amid the Nazi occupation in Paris and fight to preserve the truth that enemies of freedom long to destroy.

  Paris, 1940. Ever since the Nazi Party began burning books, German writers exiled for their opinions or heritage have been taking up residence in Paris. There they opened a library meant to celebrate the freedom of ideas and gathered every book on the banned list . . . and even incognito versions of the forbidden books that were smuggled back into Germany.

  For the last six years, Corinne Bastien has been reading those books and making that library a second home. But when the German army takes possession of Paris, she loses access to the library and all the secrets she’d hidden there. Secrets the Allies will need if they have any hope of liberating the city she calls home.

  Christian Bauer may be German, but he never wanted anything to do with the Nazi Party–he is a professor, one who’s done his best to protect his family as well as the books that were a threat to Nazi ideals. But when Goebbels sends him to Paris to handle the “relocation” of France’s libraries, he’s forced into an army uniform and given a rank he doesn’t want. In Paris, he tries to protect whoever and whatever he can from the madness of the Party and preserve the ideas that Germans will need again when that madness is over, and maybe find a lost piece of his heart.

  Whence Came A Prince

  $20.00

  Leana sank into a curtsy, thinking to put their relationship on the proper footing. “I will make myself useful in the kitchen, dear cousin.” Jamie placed his hand under her chin, slowly lifting her face until they were poised a handbreadth apart. “Cousin?” he said, his voice rough with emotion. “Nae, lass. It can never be that way with us.”

  By sheer will she stepped away from him. “Nor can it be any other way but this.” A journey of the heart across the Lowlands of Scotland. Haunted by a shameful past and wrestling with an uncertain future, Jamie McKie vows to return to his ancestral home of Glentrool and claim his inheritance-a daring venture that will test the depth of his courage and the strength of his sword.
