Since Monday, we’ve been spotlighting the books in the ONCE UPON A FRIENDSHIP collection. Here are two more stories:




Over Her Head by Terri Osburn

Love is on the menu when two chefs heat up the kitchen—and each other—in this newest addition to the Anchor Island series.

Chef Lauren Riley has one philosophy—never depend on anyone. A loner and a perfectionist, she’s on Anchor Island to turn Pilar’s into the best restaurant in the Outer Banks, not to make friends. But despite her cold demeanor, the locals refuse to take the hint, and she soon learns the meaning of a found family.

Nick Stamatis did his time in fancy kitchens but his laid-back life as head cook of Dempsey's Bar & Grill, the most popular eatery on Anchor island, suits him just fine. Despite his playboy reputation, he’s a family man at heart. But if family history repeats, he isn't likely to live long enough to have one of his own.

When Nick sticks his nose into Lauren’s business, she tells him exactly where to go, but it isn't long before the realization dawns—she needs his help. As he teaches her the ropes of running her own kitchen, sparks ignite, and soon they’re stirring up more than either expected.

Home For Wounded Hearts by Ashley Farley

Women in crisis form new bonds of friendship in this novel of hope and renewal.

Faith Neilson has discovered her life’s passion. She’s opening a shelter for women in

crisis. Not only for homeless women but for those suffering from abuse, dealing with

addiction, and coping with grief over the loss of a loved one. Faith’s mission is to help

residents mend their broken hearts. Will she find additional funding needed to keep

her program afloat?

A cast of memorable characters will warm readers’ hearts. Tilda, who is convinced

she’s in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Molly, a street-smart homeless woman with

endearing childlike quality that makes her a favorite with the other residents. Caroline,

whose gardening hobby has become an obsession since the death of her son. And

Jenny, a young woman whose anger over her husband’s betrayal has spiraled out of

control.

Join these women in their day-to-day lives as they endeavor to move from uncertainty

toward independence. Tension mounts and bonds of friendship are tested when a

young resident’s abusive stepfather threatens lives.
