Foolish Games, Book 3 of the Family Heirlooms Series by Karen Wiesner Pdf

Peter Samuels had lost his beloved wife to a tumor just one year earlier. His grief continues to overwhelm him, especially now that he's the sole caretaker of their children and he's alone once more in the world. Kimberly Wolfe has always loved her boss Peter, but she's loved him from afar. For years, she'd endured his wife's misguided attempts to fix her up. She'd envied Peter and Lydia's love for one another, and, most recently, she'd consoled him in his grief over the loss of his wife and her close friend. But, for as long as she can remember, her domineering father has used the Bible to justify his God-given place as head of the household, destroying Kimberly's mother and her own ability to trust men. An innocent kiss on New Year's leads to a growing awareness between Peter and Kimberly. Can he ever see her as more than an employee and a shoulder to lean on? Can he accept her as a Christian woman who's nowhere near content to live out her life without the love of a man and a family of her own?

Ashley Savage grew up in a troubled home with a competitive, pampered sister and an abusive mother who played at being a Christian when she needed to...and led Ashley to more addictions than one child could handle. As an adult, Ashley tells herself she's put the extreme fears of the past behind her, but she spends most of her time repairing the crumbling wall holding back the horrors she's not willing to face ever again. The one man who has the annoying habit of getting through her defenses is Jay Samuels, a military chaplain and soon-to-be pastor. Much as Ashley wants to leave him behind, Jay is ambitious to a fault where she's concerned. He hears only what he wants to hear-and he doesn't want to hear that she doesn't love him as much as he loves her. But even Jay doesn't realize the extent of all she's buried...and what keeps her from giving herself willingly to the God she knows is drawing her inexorably to Himself, to the one place she can't run, where she can no longer hide...

At the age of fifteen, Chad Feldmann and Winnie McBride made an impulsive choice that led to pregnancy. Now, years later, they're married. But all is not well in paradise. As much as Winnie loves her daughter, she can't forget the life she'd expected to be living.

The more he makes his own dreams come true, the more her resentment grows. Chad blames himself for the reckless choice made when he and Winnie were kids. All he wants now is to build a life with Winnie, but he knows she isn't happy, knows she's pulling further from him, and he can't figure out how to stop the inevitable.
