Four novels from Bethany House and Revell—divisions of Baker Publishing Group—have been named finalists for Faith, Hope and Love's 2013 Inspirational Reader's Choice Awards.

Courting Cate by Leslie Gould and To Whisper Her Name by Tamera Alexander (both Bethany House) were finalists in the Long Contemporary and Long Historical categories, respectively. A Promise to Love by Serena B. Miller (Revell) was also a finalist in Long Historical.

The finalists for Romantic Suspense were Submerged by Dani Pettrey (Revell); Deadly Chase by Wendy Davy (White Rose); and Trinity by Ronie Kendig (Barbour Publishing).

Other finalists included The Amish Bride by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould (Harvest House Publishers); Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green (River North); and The Girl in the Glass by Susan Meissner (Waterbrook Press) for Women's Fiction.

Faith, Hope and Love "promotes excellence in romantic and women's fiction that glorifies God and promotes biblical principles," the organization said. The winners of the 13th annual awards will be announced during the Romance Writers of America's 33rd annual conference, to be held July 17-20 in Atlanta.
