Always on My Mind

January 1, 2015
Warren (When I Fall in Love, 2014) draws readers back into the fold of the Christiansen family. Casper Christiansen has put half a world between him and Raina Beaumont, but when he returns home to Minnesota, there she is again, beautiful, infuriating, and pregnant with another man's child. After she places the baby up for adoption, Casper struggles with his feelings for Raina and the persistent inkling that he needs to merely be her friend. Raina, meanwhile, faces her harsh perception of her own self-worth, refusing to allow her faith to buoy her spirit. As the two reflect on their predicaments, they find themselves teaming up for an old-fashioned treasure hunt and mystery. Raina and Casper draw close on their quest yet resist the true nature of their attraction, as Raina dates another man and Casper tries to live up to his family's expectations. Readers will be excited to follow the pair's sleuthing into the town's history and will delight in the romance that unfolds in spite of Casper's and Raina's intentions.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
