Debbie Macomber

Available in one volume for the first time: Yesterday's Hero and White Lace and Promises, two of Debbie Macomber's classic novels about finding love in the most unexpected places. Yesterday's Hero Nothing is going to keep marine biologist Leah Talmadge or world-famous photographer Cain Hawkins from the chance to study the rare whales of the Diamantina Islands. But the traditional governor of the islands won't permit two unmarried people to live together, even for a once-in-a-lifetime expedition. The two refuse to miss out and decide to get married on paper only. And why not? They both desperately want to document the whales, and a pretend marriage won't have any effect on their lives after this, right? But when the lines of their relationship begin to blur, the two must reevaluate what they want. White Lace and Promises Marrying Glenn Lambert was either the smartest thing Maggie Kingsbury has ever done or the craziest mistake of her life. It's been a long time since they were children and best of friends. They went their separate ways in adulthood, until a chance encounter at a wedding inspires a spontaneous leap of faith. As past disappointments and unhealed emotions start to wreak havoc on their lives, Glenn and Maggie need to decide whether they will remain strangers--or whether they belong together after all.
