Coming Home

by Jean Brashear

Published 21 July 2006

A house filled to the rafters with love. That was all Cleo Channing ever wanted. And when Malcolm Channing walked into her life and swept her off her feet, she soon had it all–the house, an adoring husband, three beautiful children.

But their firstborn was a troubled girl, who brought the family unimaginable pain. Finally there was nothing left for Cleo and Malcolm to do but dismantle the house built on love…and for them all to go their separate ways.

Now their daughter has returned, forcing Cleo's and Malcolm's worlds to intersect once again. Making them wonder if their family–and their love–ever truly died.

Maybe sorting through the ashes of the past can usher in a new era of hope. Except, the treacherous issues that once drove them apart still remain….

Forgiveness

by Jean Brashear

Published 1 September 2006

Ria Channing fled from her family six years ago, running away after committing a sin no parent could forgive–driving drunk in the crash that killed her younger brother.

The golden child, gone. The demon child, walking away unharmed.

Now Ria is back, hungry and exhausted, fighting for survival…with a son of her own. The loving home she left, though, no longer exists. Her parents, once so adoring, have divorced. And Ria regrets returning to the family she destroyed.

But when her mother's protective friend Sandor Wolfe confronts Ria about her rebellious past, he's intrigued by her vulnerability. Soon loyalty and love collide. Sandor may have to choose, and there may be a price.
