Carol Stream, Ill.— After debuting four e-book only titles in 2011 and a series of seven e-book novellas last summer, Tyndale’s Digital-First program is set to release three new titles in January 2013. This pioneering program gives Tyndale the freedom to publish even more books with emerging authors, thus supplying readers with additional choices in their favorite genres, including the most popular e-book genre: romance.

“We’re releasing our new titles in January because we want to take advantage of the busy after-Christmas e-book downloads from those who receive e-readers and e-book gift cards for Christmas,” says Jan Stob, senior fiction acquisitions editor.

The following titles range from a prairie romance in Wyoming Territory to love and a struggle to survive in the midst of WWII to a frustrated modern-day mom’s journey through amnesia in a humorous yet poignant tale about secrets: Claiming Mariah by Pam Hillman, Where Treasure Hides by Johnnie Alexander Donley, and Mind of Her Own by Diana Brandmeyer. The books will be sold individually for $7.99 each.

Claiming Mariah by Pam Hillman
In light of her father’s death, Mariah Malone sends a letter that will forever alter the lives of her family. When Slade Donovan, strong-willed and eager for vengeance, shows up on her front porch, Mariah is not ready to hear the truth he brings: her father’s ranch was bought with stolen gold. With Slade bent on collecting his own father’s rightful claim, Mariah must turn to God for guidance. And as the days dwindle until the rest of the Donovan clan arrives at the Lazy M ranch, Mariah and Slade must rise above the resentment of their fathers and see their true feelings before greed destroys their futures forever.

Where Treasure Hides by Johnnie Alexander Donley
Artist Alison Schuyler spends her time working in her family’s renowned art gallery, determined to avoid the curse that has followed the Schuyler clan from the Netherlands to America and back again. She’s certain that true love will only lead to tragedy—that is, until a chance meeting at Waterloo station brings Ian Devlin into her life. Drawn to the bold and compassionate British Army captain, Alison begins to question her fear of love as World War II breaks out, separating the two and drawing each into their own battles. While Ian fights for freedom on the battlefield, Alison works with the Dutch Underground to find a safe haven for Jewish children and priceless pieces of art alike. But safety is a luxury war does not allow. As time, war, and human will struggle to keep them apart, will Alison and Ian have the faith to fight for their love, or is it their fate to be separated forever?
