Tender mercies (men of lancaster county #2)
Eddie Graber’s dream of a sanctuary for rescued farm animals was about to come true when his partner backed out at the last minute. Now Eddie risks losing the twenty-five acre property in Lancaster County—and all the hopes he held for it—before the project even gets off the ground. He needs help, he needs money, but most importantly, he needs to rediscover the belief in a higher purpose that brought him here in the first place.
Samuel Miller worked hard to fit into his Amish community despite his clubfoot. But when his father learns Samuel is gay, he is whipped and shunned. With just a few hundred dollars to his name, Samuel responds to an ad for a farmhand and finds himself employed by a city guy who has strange ideas about animals, no clue how to run his small farm, and a gentle heart.
Samuel isn’t the only lost soul to serendipitously find his way to Meadow Lake Farm. There’s Fred and Ginger, two cows who’d been living in a garage, a gang of sheep, and a little black pig named Benny who might be the key to life, love, money—and even a happily ever after for two castoffs.
NOTE: This novel can be read as a stand-alone.

What people are saying about this book:
“There aren’t words to describe the magnificent goodness of the feels in this story! Those involved in animal rescue: beware—you are going to need to have a box of tissues handy.” Hearts on Fire
“The writing and the characterizations from the main characters to the farm animals, as per usual with Ms. Easton, was brilliant. And the book was such a sweet, endearing and slightly angsty read, I even shed a few tears here and there, but it’s so worth it. Definitely a must-read!" - Bayou Book Junkie
"Honestly, Tender Mercies is just a quiet, simple, lovely romance. If you’re a fan of Easton’s books, especially her sweet, slow-burn stories, I have no doubt that you will enjoy this one. I know I did." - The Novel Approach
a second harvest (men of lancaster county #1)
David Fisher has lived by the rules all his life. Born to a Mennonite family, he obeyed his father and took over the family farm, married, and had two children. Now with both his kids in college and his wife deceased, he runs his farm alone and without joy, counting off the days of a life half-lived.
Christie Landon, graphic designer, Manhattanite, and fierce gay party boy, needs a change. Now thirty, he figures it’s time to grow up and think about his future. When his best friend overdoses, Christie resolves to take a break from the city. He heads to a small house in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to rest, recoup, and reflect.
But life in the country is boring despite glimpses of the hunky silver fox next door. When Christie’s creativity latches on to cooking, he decides to approach his widower neighbor with a plan to share meals and grocery expenses. David agrees, and soon the odd couple finds they really enjoy spending time together.
Christie challenges the boundaries of David’s closed world and brings out feelings he buried long ago. If he can break free of the past, he might find a second chance at happiness.

It’s about embracing that second chance. Eli Easton sure hit one out of the ball park with this one.” - Sinfully Gay Book Reviews
