For most of the early 1800s Valentine's Day wasn't celebrated. However, by 1849 it became hugely popular! In the early church and medieval time period, Saint Valentine had nothing to do with lovers; he was known as a martyr! There was however a lesser known Saint Valentine from Genoa. This Saint Valentine was known among poets as the devine overseer among lovers. Along the way the legend of the two of them became intermingled and became a homage to Christian love. Eventually being overshadowed as a matchmaking and lovers holiday.

The Amish Housekeeper
A Suspense Romance
By Katie Fisher
$2.99 or Read Free with Kindle Unlimited
An Amish single mother who will do anything to get her kidnapped daughter back. Will perseverance and love help her succeed?
Wilma Hertzler doesn’t enjoy being a housekeeper to the Troyer family. In her small Amish community, they’re like royalty and they know it. The only reason she stays is because of her five-year-old daughter, Faith. The Troyers pay her well and without them, Wilma would have to leave the community. Away from everything Faith knows, including her beloved uncle Noah, Wilma’s brother-in-law.
Five years ago, just months after their marriage, Wilma’s husband abandoned her. Noah isn’t sure he can ever forgive his brother for that, and does his best to provide what he can to his sister-in-law and niece. Now, five years later, he knows he’s fallen in love with Wilma. There’s a problem, though. She’s still married. Even though his brother is nowhere to be found, Wilma is bound to him and Noah knows he must keep his distance.
But when Faith is kidnapped, everything changes. Wilma is distraught. Faith is her whole world and without her she isn’t sure how to go on. When she uncovers evidence that the Troyers might have something to do with Faith’s kidnapping, she knows what she will do.
She’ll get her daughter back. At any cost.
This is a stand-alone Amish mystery romance with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers.

Historical Romances for your weekend...
This week's historical fact of the 1800s:
Many women saw marriage as a burden. The harsh reality of the early 1800s was that women were pretty much confined to the house. An average of five to seven children kept them busy with endless cooking, cleaning, mending and sewing. If a man was abusive, they were pretty much stuck, as they were dependent upon that man for income.
