Keep the heart in Heart Lake. That's exactly what three small-town shop owners hope to do when they launch their crazy-ambitious "Have a Heart" campaign--asking neighbors to commit one random act of kindness every day. Emma, Sarah, and Jamie love their lakeside community, but the little town is growing too big too fast, and a doing a good deed never hurt anyone. Or so they thought...

When Emma slashes prices at her quilt shop, practically giving away blankets to anyone who looks vaguely cold, she almost stitches her way into bankruptcy. Sarah's free cooking class boils down to a hotbed of crime when some punk kid swipes her favorite heirloom. And at Jamie's chocolate shop, things take a bittersweet turn when a local policeman starts giving her grief, stirring up feelings she's tried to forget--and slowly melts away her defenses...

With irresistible humor, warmth, affection--and recipes!--author Sheila Roberts serves up a generous, open-hearted story about the friendships we make, the chances we take, and the lives we touch every day.

Heartwarming stories by New York Times Four bridesmaids stitch a wedding quilt-and find it's the groom's brother that has the bride snagged-in Jennifer Blake's novella. Jo Anne Cassity pits the owners of rival stores in a competition to bid for a handmade quilt-and each other's affections. Linda Shertzer tells of a man who demands the return of a keepsake quilt from a young widow, and tries not to fall in love. Christina Cordaire follows a modern career woman who finds herself flung back to the 1840s-who now must work to save the unraveling relationship of wayward lovebirds.
