Hey there!

Each month, FaithBooks selects an author to feature in their own solo email to our readers. This gives you a chance to know them a little better and helps FaithBooks cover some of our operating expenses without charging authors to be featured in our normal weekly emails.

We hope you'll enjoy hearing from our featured author this month! She writes both historical and contemporary romances, and has lots of books you can binge.

Ciao! My name is Danielle Grandinetti. I’m an award-winning romance author fueled by tea and books. A second-generation Italian-American, I’m originally from the Chicagoland area and now live on the Wisconsin shoreline of Lake Michigan with my husband and two young sons.

As a hybrid author, I publish both independently (my historical romances) and with Harlequin’s Love Inspired line (my contemporary romances). My stories are built around settings in Wisconsin or Chicago; and my historical romances take place primarily in the 1930s.

If you love clean, inspirational romance, Harlequin publishes six contemporary Love Inspired romances and six romantic suspense Love Inspired Suspense romances each month. They’re some of my favorite types of books to read. My LI romance is called A Father for Her Boys. 

On the historical side … on May 21, I released my 9th book: Sheltered by the Doctor. This is book five in my Harbored in Crow’s Nest historical romance series and here’s what it’s about:

A fake relationship might keep her safe, but will it break their hearts?

Wisconsin, 1931—Mindy Zahn can’t understand why her parents deserted the family farm, leaving her mute younger sister in her care. Until her mother’s cryptic warning to keep her sister safe becomes a life-threatening task.

Searching for that elusive something to ease his weary heart, Dr. Nick Matrone is drawn to the cheery Mindy. He would never presume to bring such a sweet woman into his beleaguered past, so friendship is all he can offer. Except, he doesn’t expect needing to save her life.

As the danger grows, they both must battle through physical and emotional wounds to have a hope of their counterfeit relationship becoming true.

Welcome to Crow’s Nest, where danger and romance meet at the water’s edge.

Already reviews have been filtering in … and readers are saying how much they’ve enjoyed the latest installment in the series.

“I feel like the characters have become my friends.”

“I have truly come to feel like this world is a part of my literary family.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed being back in Crow’s Nest.”

“I recommend this whole series for historical fiction buffs.”
