You Can Go Home Again
Delia Rae Ivers said goodbye to small town Serendipity ten years ago for medical school. To start a new life, sheâd ended her romance with the town rebel, Zach Bowdenâand kept their little boy a secret. But when her mother falls ill, Delia answers the townâs online ad for a new doctor. Itâs time to come home to family, friendsâ¦and the man she loved a decade ago. Will forgiveness give them a second chance to become the family they were meant to be?
Hadnât anything else scandalous happened in the ten years sheâd been gone?
It seemed to her everyone had far too keen of memories where she and Zach were concerned.
Delia had a hard time breaking her gaze away from Zach. He took one step toward her and then stopped, undecided.
Alexis, Mary and Samantha stood and hovered around Delia until she, too, came to her feet.
But instead of meeting her halfway, Zach stepped sideways and planted his hat on his head.
âLadies,â he murmured with a clipped nod. A moment later he was striding out the door and down the road.
Delia was equally distressed and relieved. She didnât care for him brushing her off with such callousness, but she wasnât quite ready to talk to him, either. She didnât yet know how to say what needed to be said, nor when would be the best time to do it.
Maybe there was no best way to say it.
Zach, you have a son.

Dear Reader,
Welcome to Love Inspired!
2012 is a very special year for us. It marks the fifteenth anniversary of Love Inspired. Hard to believe that fifteen years ago, we first began publishing our warm and wonderful inspirational romances.
Back in 1997, we offered readers three books a month. Since then weâve expanded quite a bit! In addition to the heartwarming contemporary romances of Love Inspired, we have the exciting romantic suspenses of Love Inspired Suspense, and the adventurous historical romances of Love Inspired Historical. Whatever your reading preference, weâve got fourteen books a month for you to choose from now!
Throughout the year weâll be celebrating in several different ways. Look for books by bestselling authors whoâve been writing for us since the beginning, stories by brand-new authors you wonât want to miss, special miniseries in all three lines, reissues of top authors and much, much more.
This is our way of thanking you for reading Love Inspired books. We know our uplifting stories of hope, faith and love touch your hearts as much as they touch ours.
Join us in celebrating fifteen amazing years of inspirational romance!
Blessings,
Melissa Endlich and Tina James
Senior Editors of Love Inspired Books
Dear Reader,
Welcome back to Serendipity, Texas, for the second book in the Email-Order Brides series. Many of the same characters who first appeared in Phoebeâs Groom are back for more laughter, learning and love as childhood sweethearts Zach and Delia attempt to mend their relationship and move on as a family with their nine-year-old son, Riley. I hope you enjoy your return to Serendipity and the quirky characters Iâve grown to love while writing this series.
Next up in the Email-Order Brides series is The Nannyâs Twin Blessings. This is the story of Drew Spencer and his adorable three-year-old twins. And if youâve been following the romance between Cup oâ Jo café owner Jo Murphy and cantankerous old Frank Spencer, be sure to catch this bookâyou wonât be disappointed!
I love to hear from readers! Email me at [email protected], or look me up on Facebook.
Keep the faith,
Deb Kastner
To my grandchildren, Isabella and Anthony.
You are the future of our familyâs faith.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Bearing with one another and forgiving one another; Even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. âColossians 3:12â14
