Dr. Georgia Laurence’s patient is going to die without an immediate heart transplant, and a rare blood type makes a donor nearly impossible. There’s a sliver of hope when she learns about a clinical trial right at her hospital. The only problem is, the stem cell researcher is Dr. Matt Mancini, a man from her past who has absolutely no reason to help her. Matt could soon be sharing the cure for heart disease with the world and can’t risk using such a sick patient as his first human candidate. While his attraction to Georgia tempts him to reconsider, the stem cells are stolen and his career is jeopardized. Georgia and Matt must work together to save his study before her patient dies. As they get closer to the truth, they find the thief will stop at nothing, not even murder, and they’ll have to decide what matters most: her patient, his study… or their lives. "If you like Grey's Anatomy and on-the-edge suspense, this is your next read." Lucy Farago, author of the Search and Recover series.
You might say that baseball runs in Mike Trout's blood. His father, Jeff Trout, once played minor league ball for the Minnesota Twins. Mike was hitting monster homeruns as early as Little League. People who watched him on that field are not surprised by his success in the major leagues today. But it is what his parents taught him that may have helped Mike get to where he is today. They told him to study hard, be humble yet confident, and never give up. By following this advice, he became a member of the National Honor Society, a rookie with 25 career home runs, and the youngest-ever American League player to hit for the cycle.

With The Faces Behind the Pages That Inspire, Lori Rekowski continues the journey that she began in her powerful first book, A Victim No More. This time, however, she brings along some friends. Following her personal journey to wholeness and self-love, Rekowski discovered Facebook and became curious about the people who selflessly post inspiration and support for total strangers, day after day. She was so impressed by this generosity that she embarked upon a mission to find the people behind the Fan Pages. The Faces Behind the Pages That Inspire is your backstage pass as she pulls back the curtain to reveal to you the incredible journey each author has taken. Rekowski says, "For years, I've done my best to listen, pray, meditate and ask for guidance that would allow me to do work that would help me to heal others in a way that is in the highest good for the concern of all others. In the process of practicing this, I am always blessed. This project has been no exception." If you've ever wondered about the people behind the images and messages that touch and inspire us every day, this book is for you. You will laugh. You will cry. Your hearts will break when you read about what they have endured and your spirits will soar as you walk with them on their journey of healing.
