Happy Thursday Morning Readers!

Christmas Extravaganza 2016 showcase.

Today:
Bella Natale by Marianne Evans
Ashley Coratini is bucking her family, and the
odds, by embracing the chance to pursue a dream. During a three-week trip to
Florence, Italy, she’s determined to immerse herself in the world of art and to
explore the gifts God has given her.
Marianne
Evans is an award-winning author of Christian romance and fiction. Her hope is
to spread the faith-affirming message of God’s love through the stories He
prompts her to create.
Christmas 'Couragment by LoRee Peery
Liam once approved of helping others, but not anymore. He lost his mother due to a crazed street person, and he's hardened his heart. Now a successful photographer, he’s returned to set up shop in his hometown--directly across the courtyard from his sister’s best friend.
Zoe runs an outreach center and encourages the homeless and needy, especially at Christmas. Nursing a soft spot for Liam that started as a girlhood crush, she sets out to help him by creating her unique brand of encouragement cards. Her hope is to reignite the fire and love for Christmas and God, which Liam once had. The cards and ornaments countdown to Christmas, but what if Liam doesn’t want to be one of Zoe’s projects?
What happens when her crush grows into something more?
What if they both receive more than expected?
Bella Natale by Marianne Evans
When
the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true…
Ashley Coratini is bucking her family, and the
odds, by embracing the chance to pursue a dream. During a three-week trip to
Florence, Italy, she’s determined to immerse herself in the world of art and to
explore the gifts God has given her.
Widower Luca DeRosa owns and operates a
premiere art gallery at the heart of Florence. He’s just over a year away from
turning forty, but doesn’t mind the milestone. He enjoys a life spent raising
his five-year-old son and scouting artistic talent. When he comes upon Ashley,
he’s captivated by her artistic skills and fluid grace, and he sees to it that
Ashley’s dreams take off at high velocity.
But as love blooms, questions mount. Will
Ashley embrace her gifts and a life in Italy that’s worlds different than the
one waiting at home in America? Can Luca trust his heart and instincts enough
to embrace the love of a vibrant young woman whose spirit speaks to him so
deeply?
What comes next when the dreams they dare to
dream really might come true…?
