Meet Me in the Morning was a thought of meeting friends in the morning and sharing these poems, poems meant to touch the very soul and to help and heal those who read its words, to give hope and joy to anyone searching for it. May comfort for those needing it be found within these pages.

So much of our lives is influenced by how we see God. For author Patty Howard, these words began a two-and-a-half-year journey of listening to God every morning with the expectation that He would speak. When God speaks, He meets us where we are and shows us who we are. Sometimes we are invited to share what we hear. With social media as her pulpit and her friends as her congregation, Howard shared what God had given her every day. The Holy Spirit did the rest. In Meet Me in the Morning, she has gathered those meditations, originally posted on social media, and compiled them into a devotional, mostly in the order and in the form they originally appeared. May these daily meditations encourage you, inspire you, convict you, and convince you that God sees you, knows you, and loves you beyond measure. This daily devotional shows how scripture applies to real life, in real time, and invites you to carry the ideas and insights beyond the page and into your daily life.

Elizabeth Hrib will have readers racing to the finish line when a Manhattan architect’s attempts to win over her office crush set her on a collision course with a personal trainer who’s got all the right moves. Lydia McKenzie is not a runner. Not even close. But in her quest to be taken seriously at work—and catch the eye of her office crush—she signs up for the New York City Marathon as part of her architectural firm’s outreach program. Now she just needs to avoid making a fool of herself. Thankfully, she knows how to outsource. Personal trainer Luke Townsend is definitely a runner, and he’s exactly what Lydia needs to get in shape: experienced, motivational, funny, kind, well muscled… And when he and Lydia bond over her redesign of the Manhattan Youth Center, a place near and dear to Luke’s heart, their training time intensifies from hitting the pavement to hitting the sheets. Still counts as a workout, right? Suddenly, everything Lydia thought she wanted feels less clear, but she’s determined not to let a little unplanned indiscretion derail her goals. There’s no reason she and Luke can’t keep training as if they don’t share mind-blowing chemistry. They’re professionals. But when her project proposal suddenly hangs in the balance, and her office crush offers some awfully tempting one-on-one help, she’ll have to decide which direction her heart wants to run. From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.

I have a plan...but the city of love has a plan of its own. My late grandfather’s inheritance has two conditions: 1) Not a cent until I’ve traveled Europe for a month. (I mean, it's a sacrifice I’m willing to make.) 2) My estranged sisters and I must travel together. (Sister bonding. Gag.) Oh, and a third condition—our journey starts in Paris. City of Love. The place I’ve dreamed of visiting since I first spotted a postcard of the Eiffel Tower at age six. I’ve seen nearly every English movie about Paris ever made. I’ve studied French for years. I even have a bucket list of romantic experiences I want to have there with the first handsome Parisian I can find. (Seine River tour, anyone?) There’s just one problem. It’s also where my childhood best friend, Hunter, lives. The last time I saw the boy next door, he kissed me on the hood of his beat-up Pontiac and asked me to move to Paris with him. He should have known I couldn’t say yes. With my life crumbling by the minute and all my family problems—I mentioned my sisters, right?—I couldn’t just leave it all behind. Ultimately, it's fear that has kept me rooted in the same small town I’d lived in my entire life. What if Paris isn’t everything I dreamed it would be, after all? And worse—what if being with Hunter is? Nope, definitely safer to leave my dreams in the past. I’ll slip into the city, check off my list, and escape without ever seeing my best friend. I'll get this stupid trip over with, put money in the bank, and live happily ever after without him as was always the plan. Above all, I’ll finally forget that toe-curling kiss between us ever happened at all. Paris, here I come. Three sisters. Three cities. A traveling family saga full of misadventures, laughter, forgiveness, and falling in love.
