When it starts literally raining inside Fia Hanson’s hundred-year-old house, she’s left scrambling. As a single mom to a one-year-old, and coffee shop manager, she can’t afford the repairs, and she definitely can’t afford for her overbearing family to find out. If they do, they’ll force her to sell the only home she’s ever known.
She’s determined to prove she’s capable of fixing her mess, but time is ticking and Fia is running out of options… until her grumpy, off-limits boss steps in.
Caden Brooks doesn’t do personal. He owns the coffee shop; Fia runs it. That’s how he prefers it. But losing his best business asset isn’t an option—so he makes her a deal. He’ll loan her the money to repair her roof and she can stay in his guesthouse. No strings attached.
Except living across the yard from sunshine personified—and her adorable daughter—isn’t as simple as he thought it would be. And the longer the repairs drag on, the more involved Caden finds himself in their life… and the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.
Because keeping professional boundaries is one thing, denying your heart is another.
And when Fia starts to see a side of Caden no one else ever has, she begins to wonder whether the man everyone keeps at arm’s length is the one she should bring closer.
Ten years ago, they were inseparable—until she left for college and he went to prison.
Now there’s only one thing that can get Penny Hanson to return to her hometown of her little sister. So when her sister finds herself in an unexpected crisis, Penny does what she does best—drops everything to fix other people’s messes.
But nothing ever goes according to plan.
Like discovering her sister’s new roommate is Jesse Rivers… her tattooed, painfully gorgeous ex she’s spent ten years trying to forget. The one who broke her heart. And the one who still knows how to undo her with a single smirk.
With only a wall between them, years of unspoken words, and a secret neither of them dare to bring up, Penny soon realizes that this holiday season is about to get dangerously complicated. Because no matter how tempting Jesse looks, she refuses to make the same mistake twice.
She’s the black sheep of a wealthy family; he’s a down-to-earth farmer’s son. She’s running from her past; he’s building his future. It’s just a summer fling…that’s what she keeps saying anyway.
I was born an Elson, which meant two things: I had more money than I could ever spend, and my entire life was planned before I could even walk.
As the black sheep, I’ve spent my life struggling under the weight of my family’s expectations. But marrying a high-profile man was supposed to be my ticket to belonging – until he pulled the rug out from under me.
Still, I never doubted my path. Until a ruggedly handsome stranger found me broken and crying on my rooftop.
He became my secret and my undoing.
Rhett
After my dad passed, only one choice made sense – stay in my small hometown of Roseville and be the man my family needed.
It’s been ten years—but I had my patch of land, my friends, a business that was finally finding its feet, and a dog my sister insisted I get so I don’t “die alone.”
But then Audrey came along. The moment I saw her, my simple life got complicated.
Audrey was the kind of woman a man made plans for, the kind who made you dream of something bigger. But she was from a world I couldn’t touch—one I clearly didn’t belong in.
I had nothing to offer her, not really. But that didn’t stop me from giving her everything I had.
It’s been three years since the detrimental night that tragically transformed Callie Hayes’s existence in the quiet mountain town she calls home. Counting every hard-earned penny, she longs to leave behind her tainted legacy, seeking solace in the company of her faithful companion, Opie, a stray dog who found her when she needed him most.
Callie’s destiny hinges on acceptance to photography school, her golden ticket to a fresh start. But a tragic summer evening shatters her world when Opie vanishes without a trace. Gripped with sheer desperation, she embarks on a relentless search to find Opie, driven solely by her unyielding love for him.
When her valiant efforts fall short, Callie is left with a heartbreaking ultimatum: open herself up to the very people she’s sworn off and confront the reality of that tragic night or face the unbearable and bid farewell to the future she’s planned for her and Opie.
In a poignant tale of resilience, redemption, and unwavering devotion, Callie must navigate the labyrinth of her past to secure the future she so desperately craves, all while answering the harrowing question, is the unshakable bond between Callie and Opie strong enough to save them both?
