Molly is determined to achieve her dream as a dress shop owner before accepting Ted’s marriage proposal. But as the Christmas-season grand opening approaches, an unexpected curve derails her plans—which means possibly letting go of her career hopes. But at least she has Ted … or does she?
Ted, a former city guy turned small-town farmer, longs to marry Molly more than anything. He also wants her happy doing what she loves. He uses his city connections to help solve her problems, but when his secret comes to light, she wants nothing more to do with him.
As if life isn’t hard enough, a stranger enters Molly’s life, testing her faith even further. She tries to move forward with a broken heart when she learns that God had been working behind the scenes all along and that Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without His miracles and healing grace.
Sometimes, the path you planned isn’t the one you end up taking.
Set in 1954, twenty-three-year-old Sonny Pace is a gifted photojournalist ready to begin his career traveling the world. But first, he must return home to sell his deceased mother’s house. He has no desire to settle down until he crosses paths with Addie Stevenson, the girl he secretly loved in high school.
Addie lives with her grandmother, who took her in after being abandoned by her father and then orphaned at a young age when her mother died. On the surface, Addie appears content with the lifestyle her grandmother has defined for her.
Then Sonny captures her love…until family deceptions are revealed and she breaks his heart.
Confronted with truths about mortality and faith, and caught in the middle of lies and confusion, Sonny makes the only decision he can.
“What an enjoyable read this book is. Kiss Under the Lemon Tree, set in 1954, will have you reminiscing about your own life…the struggles and the joys. This clean Christian romance describes the ups and downs of an unexpected romance between Sonny and Addie. The plot builds in such a way as to keep you wanting more. The characters become your friends, ones you can’t help root for. The setting, a small very united community, makes the story even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this book.” –Amazon Review

Witter Springs Novella Two: Secrecy has become a way of life for the woman formerly known as Lily Thompson. While the shooting of her husband, Benny, was self-defense, taking her adopted daughter, Ashley, and living on the run was a choice. Now she has new reasons to fear apprehension, and a greater will to do more than survive.
After changing their names, Blair and her daughter, Clema, flit from town to town, never staying anywhere too long or allowing anyone to grow too close. A work injury settlement leads to a new start in St. Clair, California, where Blair hopes to give Clema the chance to grow up as she deserves.
The fear of capture has given them a distrust of strangers, yet the offer of friendship from writer Max Fletcher, his grandson Liam, and even the mysterious Tobias is a step toward normalcy. But friendships can be riskier than they realize, as the past catches up, and the deception of their lives is about to be revealed.
And Lily discovers her greatest gift is the power of love.
“… Although it deals with spousal abuse and child kidnapping, Lily’s Gift is inspiring. I liked the main characters. I intend to read more of Dianne Marie Andre’s work.” –Amazon review
