  <about><![CDATA[Valerie Hansen is the pen name of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2949573.Valerie_Whisenand">Valerie Whisenand</a>.<br/><br/><em>Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/44217-master-list-of-author-disambiguation-by-spaces">See this thread for more information.</a></em><br/><br/>Although I have been a published author since the mid 1980s, I have been writing women's Christian fiction almost exclusively since 1999. <br/><br/>There is a longer, more detailed bio on my website so there's no need for me to repeat all that here. Right now, I write for all three Love Inspired lines, Romance, Suspense and Historical. I'm delighted to have been included that broadly and besides, it keeps me so busy that I stay out of trouble. Well, mostly.<br/><br/>You'll find me on the LI Historical blog as well as other LI features. If I try to do much more I won't have time to write my books!]]></about>

    <![CDATA[<p>A NOTE FROM DELIA BLANCHARD</p><p>So many things have been happening here at our family's mansion, I can't go home to Hawaii: I've met my long-lost grandparents; learned the woman shot to death in the library was my aunt, <em>not</em> my mother; <em>and</em> been threatened by a blackmailing loan shark! And Shaun Murphy is back in my life--he was hired to repair the damage after the shooting. He's been rather distant with me, but I think, with God's help, I can convince him to help me track down my missing mother--and perhaps give our love another chance, too.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[She had made a solemn promise to see her younger sister to safety in California. But the endless journey across the frontier was proving a heartbreaking test of courage and endurance for Faith Beal. All she had to sustain her was her steadfast belief in a loving God--and the guiding hand of a stranger who truly seemed heaven-sent. Connell McClain was her selfless guardian as their wagon train slowly made its way west. And as they shared the dangers of the trail--and the closeness of a covered wagon--Faith felt the first tender stirrings of love for this roughhewn yet caring man. But would the secrets that seemed to haunt him threaten their growing feelings for one another? ]]>

And did his lovely boss's father, a wealthy,  secretive benefactor of the college, have anything to do with it? Family and  friends warned Alumni Director Stephanie Kessler to stay away from her new  employee. They said Trevor was still the same bad boy he'd been ten years ago,  but Stephanie wasn't the same mousy girl. So, this time, they both had something  to prove. ]]>

How about if he'd never preached before!  Logan was ordained but had lost his faith long ago.  He was new in town on an undercover assignment, investigating whether Becky had been kidnapped as an infant.  Raised by her beloved aunt, she knew nothing about her real parents.  Logan's mission was to uncover the truth.  Now if he could just figure out how to do that without ruining the family Becky had...and hurting the only woman he'd ever loved.]]>
