Books like Came A Stranger by Celine Conway


Four years after moving to the west coast of Canada, Tess and her father had envisioned transforming a lakeside guest house into a thriving business. The loss of her father and her mother's departure to England leave her alone, with the house now put up for sale. A cold, controlling man—Steve Fenner—steps forward to purchase the property and soon starts steering Tess’s personal choices as well. Terrified of losing control over her own life, Tess struggles between feeling powerless and questioning whether defiance is truly necessary. The story explores themes of autonomy, resilience, and the complexities of condescension in romantic settings.

📘 To love a gentle stranger
 by Carole Gift Page

Description Marnie loved Jeff once, but can she remember how? A car accident has left Marnie Jordan with amnesia, and several years of her life are lost to her forever. Jeff, her husband of six months, is devastated by the fact that she doesn’t remember anything about him, their marriage, or their plans to become missionaries. Worse yet, she doesn’t even remember her relationship with the Lord. Despite Jeff’s devotion throughout her recovery, Marnie begs him for an annulment. Then his mother-in-law suggests the unimaginable—that he move out and begin courting his wife as if they had just met. Can Jeff win Marnie’s heart all over again? Or are their hopes and dreams gone forever, like Marnie’s memory?
