A Gem Of Truth Secrets Of The Canyon Book 2

Escaping her shattered past is much more difficult than she imagined. Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller, or as others see it, a liar. But with her dark and painful past, stories are all that have kept her company throughout her life. Longing for a fresh start and a second chance to earn real trust, Julia takes a job as a Harvey Girl at the El Tovar Hotel, where she's challenged to be her true self. Learning the trade of a master jeweler is hard work, but Christopher Miller takes pride in running his family's small shop and earning the respect of the people around him. But when he discovers that he has six weeks to buy his building from his landlord before it is sold, he must find a way to save his grandfather's legacy. United by the discovery of a legendary treasure, Chris and Julia find hope in each other. But when Julia's past catches up with her, doubt creeps into Chris's heart. Can he really trust her and her stories?

When everything crumbles, her chance for a new beginning hangs in the balance. Ruth Anniston survived an injury that left her physically scarred, broken, and angry at God. Now, she finds herself working behind the scenes as a kitchen and dining room supervisor at the El Tovar Hotel, hidden away from curious eyes and with little hope of finding love. When money begins to disappear from the hotel, Ruth's entire livelihood is put at risk when she lands on the list of suspects. Frank Henderson has at last succeeded in obtaining his dream job as head chef at the El Tovar. But competition in the kitchen is fierce, and one mistake could cost him his future. As the thefts at the hotel continue, and his affection for Ruth grows, Frank's career--and his heart--are in jeopardy. As tensions run high, Ruth and Frank must work together to save the El Tovar. They find themselves growing closer . . . but can their combined ingenuity overcome the odds against them?

A TALE OF COURAGE AND THE QUEST FOR FREEDOM AGAINST ALL ODDS ...The land of Hadar lies since countless ages under a shroud of darkness. An ancient Legend explains how all this has happened and fifteen-year-old Elran, a true Korath, believes in the story even as he surrenders to his fate of being a captive to the gloom--possibly forever ... Then, one day, he meets Ayra, the new girl in the village. Through her, Elran is drawn into the world of the Maldabrah, a small mysterious commune whose people claim to have eyes that can pierce through the veil of darkness and see the light which, they assert, is shining bright upon the whole land. There Elran learns about the tale of a mystical river flowing through a remote region; a river in whose waters, he is told, ultimate freedom from the darkness can be found. It could be the truth or a blatant lie. Elran decides to find out. But hardly has he begun his journey when he is hurled into a horrifying web of terror, along with the threat of an unknown, mystifying nature that seems intent to track and stop him with dogged determination. Now Elran is trapped in a nightmare he never dreamed is possible, a nightmare that turns his world upside down and changes him forever ...
