Home and Hearth Collected Edition
Home and Hearth Collected Edition
by Jackie
Weger
Just in time for summer, Setting Up House is a collection of Jackie Weger's three most popular
full-length novels packed with love and laughter and adventures of the heart.
Three love stories about ordinary men and women hoping for safe haven, a home
and hearth, someone to love and be loved in return and a bit happiness at the
end of the day.
Join Justine Hale in The House on Persimmon Road as she moves her eccentric family into a house
rented sight unseen in Alabama's rich delta land. Justine is flummoxed when she
discovers the house is owned by a Civil War ghost with her own agenda.
In Finding Home, follow the high jinx of Phoebe Hawley, country as they come, but
full of moxie and pride on her quest to find her family a home in a tiny
fishing village on the Gulf Coast. The earth tilts during the summer solstice.
Phoebe is determined to put it right because family is everything.
Stay cool all summer with The Reluctant Hero as Rebecca Hollis, tasked with finding homes for five
orphans, finds herself battling the elements and worse - a lonely pilot who
considers the lot of them the most irksome freight he has ever hauled in his
life.
The House on Persimmon Road
by Jackie
Weger
Description
Need Help? Hire a Ghost. She Cooks. Lottie Roberts is restless and
lonely. She’s been sitting on her bones for decades, waiting for her ticket to
heaven until … Justine Hale and her family take up residence in Lottie’s
two-hundred-year-old plantation house. Lottie senses in Justine a kindred
spirit - filled with heartache and in reduced circumstances - which Lottie
considers mirrors her own situation exactly. Yet Justine is trying to do the
right thing. Else why is she burdened with a bankrupt mother without an ounce
of common sense? Or an ex mother-in-law who looks like a pickled beet with a
tongue sharper than a hatchet? And where is the father of the recalcitrant
eleven year-old boy and the eight-year-old afraid of her own shadow?
Justine needs help and Lottie is of a mind to provide it. But before
Lottie can say squat and Justine even unlocks the front door, Tucker Highsmith
shows up to steal her thunder. His dark eyes, lazy grin, and sexy Alabama drawl
coupled with the dern braggart’s Mr. Fix-it talents just might be the answer to
all of Justine’s problems. Or maybe not, because Lottie has her own agenda
since she found her bones on a hidden staircase.

Finding Home
by Jackie
Weger
Description
Twenty-four year old Phoebe Hawley is on a quest to find her family a
home. On the road with two siblings, twelve year-old Maydean and five year-old
Willie-Boy, Phoebe is out of money, out of gas and out of patience. Now the
only things she owns in abundance are Hawley backbone and Hawley pride - neither
of which she can trade for food or gas.
A collision with Gage Morgan puts Phoebe's mission in even worse jeopardy
- until Phoebe discovers Gage Morgan owns the perfect place for the Hawley
clan. But! Gage Morgan has a bruised ego, a tight fist on his land and an iron
fist on his heart and is the unlikeliest man in the universe to succumb to her
schemes. Phoebe wields all of the pride, backbone and country smarts she owns
to claim his home, plow his land and pilfer his heart. Nothing works. With time
running against her family, she plies one last inducement - her scarce feminine
wiles … Will it be enough?
Praise for the Book

The Reluctant Hero
by Jackie
Weger
Description
Parnell Stillman, ace pilot, is man to the bone in a lackadaisical kind
of way. He has the ability to fly through anything except solid mountain. He
lives alone because people are not to be trusted - especially women. Flying is
his high road until one sleet-filled morning - it isn’t. Mischance forces his
plane down in a frozen wilderness. He can survive, but his live cargo is
another matter - an annoying social worker and five orphans - the most irksome
freight he’s ever hauled in his life.
Rebecca Hollis is determined to force the obnoxious, disagreeable,
self-centered pilot to do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and
rescue of the orphans … Even if it means making the noble gesture of keeping
her mouth shut - or other womanly things. But the pilot isn’t having it. No
way. No how. No time. He’d rather dance with a grizzly or wrestle a puma than
give his heart over to a conniving, wily do-gooder. Heroics is not his thing.
Rebecca Hollis has other ideas - lots of them! All artful and disingenuous - one
of which is bound to work … She hopes.
Praise for the Book
"Another great read, sit back and be absorbed by one of the great
story tellers of our time. Her books grab you on the first page and don't turn
you loose."
"Gave five stars and would have given more if available ... this was
a very cute, sweet and beautiful love story between the two adults, but also
the story of love for the five kids! I .started off laughing and crying and as
I kept reading I kept laughing and crying ... to me this is the kind of book I
like to read ... it helps me to feel better about life!!"
"This was such an unexpected pleasure. I picked it up and spent most
of my night glued to the pages. What a wonderful assemblage of characters! A
cantankerous pilot, 5 orphans and their prickly caretaker. The book abounds
with adventure, romance and great dialogue."
