THE RESTORER'S SON by Sharon Hinck
Cast out by those he trusts and preferring to cross swords with the One rather than yield to His will, Kieran flees to enemy Hazor, only to find that the One knows no borders. Pursued by his calling, Kieran finds a boy without a home, a king with burning questions, and a nation torn by darkness. 


THE CHASE by DiAnn Mills
To FBI Special Agent Tigo Harris, it's a cold case, but to writer Kariss Walker it's a story that she has to write despite the danger. 
LEAVING LANCASTER by Kate Lloyd
When Holly Fisher's mother reveals a long-kept secret, that Holly's mother abandoned her Amish community where relatives still live, will Holly's yearning for family be strong enough to overtake her conflicted feelings of betrayal? Set in the heart of contemporary Amish country, Leaving Lancaster explores the power of forgiveness, reconciliation, and love where least expected.





THE IRISH HEALER by Nancy Herriman
Accused of murdering a child under her care, Irish healer Rachel Dunne flees the ensuing scandal while vowing to never sit at another sickbed. When a cholera epidemic sweeps through London, she feels compelled to nurse the dying daughter of the enigmatic physician she has come to love.

Leading Lady Champion

OK, today is the day we've been waiting for. Are you ready? 


Before I announce winners I just want to thank everyone for making this clash so much fun. I enjoyed the conversations and the sportsmanship. Both authors were wonderful to work with and lovely to talk to.

We have two winning readers who will get a FREE BOOK for their participation. In a random drawing, the names chosen were:

Maxie   and   Shawn

Congratulations, ladies! You have been contacted about your free books and the authors will be sending them out shortly!

And now the moment we've all been waiting for. Dim the lights, please...


Last week, LIFE ON THE EDGE by Jennifer Comeaux and HIGH DESERT HAVEN by Lynnette Bonner  went into the ring. Some of the comments we received were:


  • Great job!!
  • Both excerpts make me want to read the rest of the story. It was hard to choose!
  • I think they both did a good job of presenting their books.
  • Both leading ladies were believable and presented with skill.
  • Looks like a whole lotta fun, Michelle!
  • I found it very hard to select only ONE excerpt. They were both great! Keep up the great work!
  • Both excerpts have great leads! Would like to read both books!

It's clear that readers think both books are worthy, but we can only have one winner. The public voted, and that winner is....




 HIGH DESERT HAVEN by Lynnette Bonner!!  


 Congratulations, Lynnette! Your lovely story has won our hearts. We are proud to add High Desert Haven to our list of COTT Champ titles!

Readers, you can leave your congratulations in the comments. I'm sure Lynnette will be thrilled to hear from you. :) We also want to extend our sincere love to Jennifer Comeaux, whose book was a worthy contender and drew our interest as well. Thank you!
