The Friessens

Join the Friessen siblings, their spouses, and kids as they gather to celebrate their parents' wedding anniversary. Amidst the joyous occasion, long-buried issues resurface, testing their love and trust in each other. As tears are shed and old bonds are strengthened, an unexpected twist arises–cattle rustling gone wrong! Get ready for a wild and unforgettable reunion, where anything can happen when this family comes together.

In The Bloodline, Andy Friessen has two certainties in life: his unwavering love and protection for his wife, Laura, and their children, as well as the hidden truth locked away in a safety deposit box that could shatter his mother's world. However, life is never straightforward or easy. In a tragic twist of fate, Andy's mother passes away and he receives an urgent call from his father beckoning him home, abruptly upending his stable existence.

Diana's living her happily ever after, or so it seems. But the past, oh, it has a way of catching up to us all. It knocks on her door, a relentless reminder of what she left behind, who she used to be, and all that she's lost. Those shadows of guilt and doubt cast a threatening cloud over the life she's painstakingly built with her husband, Jed.

In "The Business Plan," Neil Friessen has it all: the love of his life, his precious children, but there's one small hitch - an empty bank account. And Neil's keeping this secret from his wife, though she can sense something's amiss. Doubt and quicksand feelings plague him, and even his brother, Brad, can't stay on the sidelines.

In The Decision, Brad and Emily find themselves at a crossroads in their seemingly perfect life together. With her unwavering strength and confidence, Emily Friessen is grateful for her loving husband and close-knit family. However, there is more to her story than meets the eye. Unexpectedly, life throws them a curveball in the form of an unplanned pregnancy during a time they least expected it. This news strains their relationship as Emily feels increasingly isolated while Brad grapples with the challenges of impending fatherhood.

Everyone said they were too young to love. Katy and Steven have planned out their happily ever after: marriage, family, and a place of their own. A simple life in a small town with big dreams, just like Katy's parents, Brad and Emily. However, life's hardships soon threaten the future Steven and Katy have planned together.

Katy and Steven never imagined their happily ever after could go so wrong, but six months in and this newlywed couple’s carefully crafted future is crumbling. Even after the couple overcome the distance, the secrets and a divided family could have Steven walking away. The couple is faced with their biggest challenge yet when a shocking disappearance and the questions being asked could lead to answers that could ultimately destroy this family.

When the unthinkable happens, a family's life is changed forever. Katy and Steven have settled in their new home, with a new job, a new life, and a baby on the way. Everything for this young couple is perfect - that is, until the night Steven makes a quick trip to the grocery store for his pregnant wife. As the sun rises and Katy wakes, she soon discovers that Steven never made it home.

She looked him straight in the eye - those blue eyes that were so intense and she wondered what they'd be able to get her do? She was smart, levelheaded, and not lacking in self-confidence. She loved who she was; she had a family who loved her, and yet here she was sitting here discussing giving something to a man she would never consider giving to anyone.

Christmas has always been a happy affair for the Friessens, but this year, as the family returns home, they are faced with more than a few challenges - from the crazy whirlwind of an on-again, off-again romance to a fairytale marriage now on the rocks, with more secrets than the family knows what to do with. Can the Friessens pull together this holiday season, and will the gift of love be all they need?

Growing up, Cat Friessen didn’t always know who she was. In fact, her earliest memory is of being alone in a silent world, terrified and misunderstood, left like garbage in a Mexican orphanage. The memory haunts her, and it’s one she’s never shared with her parents Neil and Candy Friessen, who have given her their name, their love, and a surgery that changed her life for the better. Now 19, Cat struggles with her sheltered existence and the fact that she doesn’t really fit in.

Evie and Danny have been friends forever, and neither has considered the other in a romantic way. Then, one day, in drives Charlie Adams, the sexy, gorgeous daughter of the town banker. When she sets her sights on Danny, he just can't resist her charms. Little does he know that Evie is about as down and out as she can get, working a dead-end job with less than 20 dollars in her bank account. Her future and options are bleak, and to make it worse, as she watches from the sidelines, she realizes she has loved Danny forever.

When stubbornly independent Chris Friessen decides to pack up and travel the country on the back of his Harley, he doesn’t expect his decision to see the “real USA” will cost him in ways he can’t imagine. He soon finds himself facedown on some back road, cuffed by small-town cops. To make matters worse, he’s told to keep moving, but when he meets the incredibly sexy daughter of the sheriff, Chris can’t resist doing exactly the opposite - even after realizing the sheriff’s deputy is head over heels in love with her.

Chris and Danny Friessen return in a short sweet novella about unexpected consequences in their young married life.

Katy and Steven were the loves of each other’s lives until a tragedy and the fallout of Steven’s injuries drove the couple apart. They share a son, but Katy and Steven have moved on with their lives, dating other people, and neither has seen the other in five long years. But when Steven comes knocking on Katy’s parents’ door after learning she’s back in town, Katy is forced to face her estranged husband and the love that broke her heart, and his intentions regarding their all-but-over marriage are soon made very clear.

Like his parents Andy and Laura Friessen, Gabriel knows what it means to face an impossible situation. When he puts up an ad looking for a roommate, he never expects to meet a down-on-her-luck gorgeous single mom with a meddling family, a crazy ex-boyfriend, and enough chemistry between them to heat a county. The only problem is she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after and sees falling in love as a mistake only fools make. But Gabriel can’t stop thinking about her, wanting her, and is determined to show her the road to love isn’t as dangerous as she believes.

Everyone in Columbia Falls, Montana, believes Chelsea Friessen is a spoiled princess who is more trouble than she’s worth. They’d be wrong though, considering that tale was spun by a scorned high school crush and two years later is still the first impression everyone has of her. But then she meets a man whose personality is as arrogant as he is drop-dead gorgeous; if Chelsea was in her right mind, she should have been running away from him. The only problem is that this badass stranger walked into her life knowing he saved her from humiliation.

It was the hottest night of sex he’d ever had. Jeremy Friessen had heard the whispers that he was just like his father, with his looks, his bad ass attitude, and his arrogance, and he’d never forget the night he’d spent with his best friend's sister - until she up and left, one day just three years ago. But now she’s back....

Either this would be the biggest mistake of her life, or it could turn out to be the best decision Paige ever made. After all, who accepts an invitation from a man they hardly know to travel across the country to get to know them better, from a note? Will this turn out to be a mistake that Paige will regret and have her walking into something that she can't control? Or will this be a chance for love that Paige and Morgan are both looking for?
