All The Little Raindrops

"The chilling story of the abduction of two teenagers, their escape, and the dark secrets that, years later, bring them back to the scene of the crime. It's senior-year spring break, and Noelle Meyer and Evan Sinclair have been kidnapped. Neither knows why they were chosen, only that they share a tragic past: Evan's father got away with killing Noelle's mother, effectively ruining her family when the death was ruled an accident. Despite the connection that should have made them enemies, the teens instead unite to face their other common denominator-their abductors. Noelle and Evan survive one sadistic circumstance after another, eventually making a harrowing escape. But every happy ending comes at a price. Years later, Evan, now a private investigator, revisits the crime when he learns it may be ongoing. He reaches out to Noelle for help, and they discover that the answers lie with a man known only as the Collector. To close their case and solve the ones that followed, Noelle and Evan must unmask this mysterious spectator-the only man who knows enough secrets to take their captors down"--Provided by publisher.

"Passion begins with One Stitch ... Indiana, 1967. Emma Bontager has never quite fit the mold of an Amish daughter.

There, Emma reluctantly picks up needle and thread -- and to her surprise, discovers joy in piecing together a Tree of Life quilt. As her stitches grow steadier, so does her heart. Then she meets Ivan Yoder, a spirited young Amish man who shares her love of the outdoors. But whispers about his reputation threaten to unravel the fragile bond between them. Now Emma must decide: Will she return home with a broken heart, or dare to risk everything for a love as enduring as the quilt she's creating?" -- (back cover).
