Böhme Series by Sarah Buhl, Michele Ziemer

Demons of past mistakes haunt her. Mistakes of past demons haunt him. Strangers cross paths every day. Moments are shared with a smile — the opening of a door, a nod of hello, or help with directions. Most don’t listen to that quiet intuition telling them that something different can be found in this stranger. There is connection and understanding in their eyes. There is truth in their smile. There is an entire life waiting to live... moreDemons of past mistakes haunt her. Mistakes of past demons haunt him. Strangers cross paths every day. Moments are shared with a smile — the opening of a door, a nod of hello, or help with directions. Most don’t listen to that quiet intuition telling them that something different can be found in this stranger. There is connection and understanding in their eyes. There is truth in their smile. There is an entire life waiting to live. What happens if that intuition isn’t ignored and strangers begin to listen? It happens every day, someone, somewhere, chooses to listen, and love begins. This is the story of two strangers who made that choice. Haunted by the passing of her sister and believing she was the catalyst to cause it, Hannah Anderson lives a walking death. Afraid to embrace life and burdened by guilt, she refuses to accept more than just getting through every day. She believes she doesn't deserve happiness. Consumed by anxieties and self-depreciation from childhood, Wynn Hawthorne shelters himself from the world. Content to live behind his camera and within the quotes that comfort him, he avoids people. He holds himself back from experiences because people always disappoint. Together they learn that their pasts do not define them and that forgiveness is the hardest thing in the world to accept. less

Many questions wait to be answered... We cling to what we have always known. Lives, histories, beliefs—all make each of us who we are. Our beliefs define us. But what if we cling to something so tightly we fail to see the truth? What if letting go of those beliefs meant truly loving and finding what it means to be alive? Blake Lawson has a knight complex. He also believes he failed at it. His friend lived a life of turmoil and he was unable to shield him from it... moreMany questions wait to be answered... We cling to what we have always known.

What if letting go of those beliefs meant truly loving and finding what it means to be alive? Blake Lawson has a knight complex. He also believes he failed at it. His friend lived a life of turmoil and he was unable to shield him from it. Blake is a friend to everyone, but only giving just enough—because he hasn’t met someone worth risking failure for again. Brecken McNett does not believe in happily ever after. She has lived her life depending only on herself, because she is the only person that knows what she needs. She doesn’t believe in screw ups. Brecken has seen too much failure and broken promises to believe in anything other than living fully day by day. This is the story of two people finding answers—together. less

Think about a time when everything in life was perfect and felt as though nothing could go wrong. Life fell into planned alignment. All of the ideas and hopes held most important organized as books on a shelf. Each book held a title bearing a phase in life and within its pages laid the plan for the future. Now imagine life threw something at that shelf—everything planned, everything hoped for, everything organized, now is turned over as the shelf falls to the floor. Fear of the unknown replaces the hope for a perfect future. Karl Samson is not a stranger to roadblocks and disruptions in life. Having for a time let them consume his thoughts, he now lives his life learning from his trials. He is the guy everyone thinks is a little off, though his friends love him for it. He is the one helping others. He didn’t set out one day to find love— he was doing what he usually did. Maggie Presley achieves and that’s what she is known for—her determination to move ahead. Then, she is faced with something even the most meticulous planner couldn’t foresee. Maggie believed she knew what life held for her, because she created her own future. But, life had other plans and she learns that even the worst of circumstances have unexpected outcomes when reminded of life’s beauty. This is a story of life and how sometimes it takes a reorganization of shelves to find the future. It’s a story of love that is found even during the darkest points in life. less
