Surrender the Wind is the story of Seth Braxton, a patriot of the American Revolution, who unexpectedly inherits his loyalist grandfather’s estate in England. Seth is torn between the land he fought for and the prospect of reuniting with his sister Caroline, who was a motherless child taken to England at the onset of the war.

With no intention of staying permanently, Seth arrives to find his sister grieving over the death of her young son. In the midst of such tragedy, Seth meets Juleah, the daughter of an eccentric landed gentleman. Her independent spirit and gentle soul steal Seth’s heart. After a brief courtship, they marry and she takes her place as the lady of Ten Width Manor, enraging the man who once sought her hand and schemed to make Ten Width his own.

From the Virginia wilderness to the dark halls of an isolated English estate, Seth and his beloved Juleah inherit more than an ancestral home. They uncover a sinister plot that leads to murder, abduction, and betrayal--an ominous threat to their new life, love, and faith.

Free Book - Gone to Green (K)

Gone to Green, the start of the Green series by Judy Christie, is a repeat freebie in the Kindle store, courtesy of Christian publisher Abingdon Press. So far today, the freebies from this publisher are Kindle only, but may show up in other stores later on.

Book Description
In Gone to Green, Lois goes from being a corporate journalist at a large paper in the Midwest to the owner of The Green News-Item, a small twice-weekly newspaper in rural North Louisiana. The paper was an unexpected inheritance from a close colleague, and Lois must keep it for at least a year, bringing a host of challenges, lessons, and blessings into her life.

When Lois pulls into Green on New Year’s Day, she expects a charming little town full of smiling people. She quickly realizes her mistake. After settling into a loaned house out on Route 2, she finds herself battling town prejudices and inner doubts and making friends with the most surprising people: troubled teenager Katy, good-looking catfish farmer Chris, wise and feisty Aunt Helen, and a female African-American physician named Kevin.

Whether fighting a greedy, deceitful politician or rescuing a dog she fears, Lois notices the headlines in her life have definitely improved. She learns how to provide small-town news in a big-hearted way and realizes that life is full of newsworthy moments. When she encounters racial prejudice and financial corruption, Lois also discovers more about the goodness of real people and the importance of being part of a community.

While secretly preparing the paper for a sale, Lois begins to realize that God might indeed have a plan for her life and that perhaps the allure of city life and career ambition are not what she wants after all.

Surgeon Getorius Asterius, his wife Arcadia, the eunuch archpriest of a pagan fertility cult, the female head of a heretical Arian church, and an ambitious senator in league with a Chinese merchant: these are the prime movers in this mystery set in Ravenna, Italy, in A.D. 440. When Getorius is summoned to examine the castrated body of a youth found by Thecla in her Arian church, who is the sobbing "Vestal Virgin" nearby? Why is the senator smuggling counterfeit Western coins to the Eastern Empire, and contraband Chinese products back to Ravenna? Thecla's coded message leads to a secret tunnel and the sinister temple of Cybele, whose devotees are self-mutilated eunuchs. In a stunning climax, the conspirators try to escape Ravenna, planning to sell one product in Egypt, but failing to recognize the far more deadly nature of the other.

Book Description
History has all but forgotten...

In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown.

Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next bestselling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write.

But when she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction, Carrie wonders if she might be dealing with ancestral memory, making her the only living person who knows the truth-the ultimate betrayal-that happened all those years ago, and that knowledge comes very close to destroying her...

The Perfect 10 Diet: 10 Key Hormones That Hold the Secret to Losing Weight and Feeling Great-Fast!, by Michael Aziz, is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of publisher Cumberland House.

Book Description
Lose up to 14 Lbs in 21 days!
Doctor Designed, Easy to Follow, Proven Success

The latest medical research shows hormones are the key to weight loss. Your hormones control how your body uses the foods you eat, whether it's used for energy or stored as fat. The Perfect 10 Diet balances these key hormones so you:

• Lose weight fast without going hungry (hunger wrecks diets)
• Have more energy!
• Start to lose weight without exercising (up to 80 pounds)
• Reverse the aging process and look younger for life

Because The Perfect 10 Diet works with your hormones, people see results fast—up to 14 pounds in the first 21 days.

Other diet fads, whether they are low-fat or low-carb, wreak havoc on your hormones, which is why these diets are hard to stay on and the weight comes back the moment you stop.

Dr. Michael Aziz has personally worked with more than a thousand patients who lost an average of 10-14 pounds in the first three weeks on the diet, and who also showed remarkable improvement in the markers for heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes and more. Their overall health improved significantly. And they did it all while eating great food, feeling full after their meals and having more energy!

Below are just a few of the real-life results people have had on The Perfect 10 Diet:

SHARON: Sharon weighed 264 pounds despite a twenty-one-year struggle to control her weight through more than her share of low-fat, low-carb and fad diets. Within two years of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Sharon lost 132 pounds by giving up the "fake" foods she thought were healthy. Better still, she has kept the weight off and enjoys increased energy and confidence.

MARK: Thirty-five-year-old Mark weighed 260 pounds at 5'9", with a high 40 percent body fat reading. He suffered from severe headaches, was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure. Mark lost 90 pounds in 10 months on The Perfect 10 Diet. His headaches were gone, and his insulin, blood pressure, and body fat were all at normal levels—plus, he has never felt better in his life.
