Capitol Hearts #1
Facing Love
No one knows what’s in Hawk’s backyard, even though strange noises erupt from it at odd hours. The tall fence and green shrubs block the view while the neighbors steer clear. Port-wine stains cover half of Hawk’s face, and his serpent-like tongue coupled with reclusive behavior makes him anything but popular. When kind-hearted Danielle Davison moves next door, a wind of change blows in Hawk’s direction.
The beautiful thirty-three-year-old social worker spends long hours each week advocating for children in the foster care system. Danielle’s tumultuous upbringing has shaped her career path- and her view of men. She doesn’t trust nice guys- especially ones that wear suits. James Patton, a newly elected representative for Illinois' forty-first district, needs a date for the inaugural ball and learns that his academic equal from high school is living in the capital city of Springfield. Although his plans for the ball change, he reunites with a reluctant Danielle and confirms she’s still incredible.
As James and Hawk vie for Danielle’s attention, something happens that changes the course of all three lives. Will Danielle learn to see past exteriors? Who uncovers Hawk’s secrets? Can James win Danielle’s heart? If you like reading books with love triangles, "Facing Love" is a suspenseful, contemporary Christian romance that will leave readers guessing until the very end.

Finding that none existed, Dave took her to the next best place- T.C.B.Y. If you know the acronym, you'll recognize that the Y stands for Yogurt. But since it was frozen it counted, and nineteen years later, Dave still knows how to make her happy.
Besides Laura's affection for cold cow's milk, she loves Jesus, being a mom (even to a teenager), music, teaching, and penning love stories that keep you guessing.

Highly recommend
I love the intricately woven, unique story line that is still easy to follow. This might be the first book I’ve read that so naturally applies the truths of scripture to every day life circumstances
