A Heartwarming Spring Fling Giveaway: Join Us in Celebrating Our New Releases . . . and the End of Winter!

After the long, harsh winter most of us endured, what better way to celebrate spring—and our April and May Heartwarming releases—than with an exciting new giveaway? As with any celebration, the more the merrier, and we hope you will join us.

First, here are the beautiful covers of the April and May books . . .


And here’s what we have planned to warm your heart and chase away any lingering winter blahs. All eight Heartwarming authors with April and May releases have teamed up to offer two prize packs of four books each. We will also give away one grand prize consisting of all eight books and a stunning mix of “ever-blooming” spring garden flowers, for use indoors or out. These are gifts you can enjoy time and again, as you can read our books over and over, and the flowers won’t fade when winter threatens, since they're steel, painted in bright colors.

Our first prize pack contains:

The Truth About Hope by Kate James
Katia’s Promise by Catherine Lanigan
Raising the Stakes by Karen Rock
A Case for Forgiveness by Carol Ross

These books are certain to provide hours of springtime reading pleasure!










Our second prize pack contains:

The Long Road Home by Lynn Patrick
Man of His Word by Cynthia Reese
Fighting for Keeps by Jennifer Snow
Firefly Nights by Cynthia Thomason

Another set of four wonderful stories you will surely enjoy!










Finally, our grand prize winner will receive all eight books, along with an “ever-blooming” spring garden, consisting of a bouquet of 13 white daisies, two periwinkle blue alliums and a set of 13 black-eyed Susans, a retail value of over $150 US, before shipping.

Now if that isn’t enough, we have a bonus book for each prize pack. Harlequin MIRA and Harlequin Intrigue author Elizabeth Heiter will include one of her recent releases—winner’s choice—in each of the prize packs.

There are three exciting prize packs waiting to be won. The contest runs until April 25th. Enter as often as you like. Post a comment right here on our blog for two entries, visit our Facebook pages, follow us on Twitter, and tweet about the contest once a day while it's running! And check back here on April 26th to see if you are a lucky winner!

Happy spring . . . and happy reading!

(Please note, prize packs can only be shipped to a continental US or Canadian address. International winners will receive the books only, in e-book format.)

    1. I am so glad you like the cover of THE TRUTH ABOUT HOPE, Kim. Originally, Einstein the the dog was a large, gangly mutt that looked mostly like an Irish Wolfhound. Imagine my surprise when I saw the cover and the dog looks exactly like Logan, one of our black Labs. Needless to say, I did some rewriting.

      Good luck to you, too, with the giveaway!

      Delete
    2. I bet Logan was excited when he learned someone had snapped his picture and put him on the cover! I've been looking forward to your second Heartwarming for a while, Kate - I'm so glad the wait will be over soon!

      Delete
    3. Logan is very excited. He lorded it over our other Lab Harley, he wants a share of the royalties in the form of extra kibble, and Harley now would like to know when he can expect to be a cover model, too!

  23. Firefly Nights sounds like my type of book because the title takes me back to my youth in New Jersey and summer nights chasing fireflies. Those are good memories.
