"Whoever said getting pregnant to the town playboy was a good idea… they were wrong.
Gabrielle Walker’s world implodes when she discovers that her boyfriend is engaged to another woman. In need of a change, she uproots her life and moves to Haven Bay, hoping to mend her broken heart.
But there’s no small town love story for her. Instead, a night of passion with playboy bartender Logan Pride—her brother’s friend—results in a positive pregnancy test and no white picket fence in sight.
Logan doesn’t want children, but now he’ll have to choose between following in the footsteps of his no-good absentee father or putting his lonely heart on the line."
"She’s running for her life. He’s hiding from his past. When the two collide, can they emerge with their hearts intact?
Fleeing from her violent ex, Megan Talbot arrives in the small beachside town of Haven Bay bloody and bruised. All she wants is a refuge, but her would-be rescuer, brooding and tattooed Tione, clearly thinks she’s trouble.
Despite his distrust, she can’t seem to stay away from him. His warm eyes and gentleness with his four rescue dogs make her feel things she hasn’t in a long time, but she can’t afford to let her guard down. Not when her ex is on her trail.
When her past catches up to her, she discovers that she isn’t the only one with secrets, and now everything—including her life—hangs in the balance."
"She’s a nerdy academic with a hopeless crush. He’s a rugged outdoorsman who’s never looked at her twice.
Brooke Griffiths is fed up with being treated like she’s fragile. Sure, she spent a couple of decades dealing with chronic illness, but she’s ready to grab life by the horns… if only people like Jack Farrelly would stop trying to ‘protect’ her.
For years, the gorgeous adventure guide never noticed her. After a stolen kiss, she thought that had changed, but her hopes quickly went up in smoke. Unfortunately, she needs his help if she wants to keep a promise to a friend who passed away.
Jack is grumpy and distant, but the more time they spend together, the more she realizes it’s all a façade. The real Jack is a raw, heartbroken mess. She’s falling for him, but he’s determined not to open his heart again."
"Can widow Katarina protect both her battered heart and her beloved B&B from the property developer passing through her small town?
Katarina blames herself for her husband’s death. Her only solace is running the beachfront bed and breakfast they always dreamed of, but now a big city developer plans to buy the property and bulldoze her B&B.
Sterling Knightley has made Katarina’s landlord an offer she can’t refuse. The only way Katarina can keep her promise to her late husband is to persuade the aloof businessman to partner with her, but Sterling holds all the cards.
Katarina doesn’t expect to be charmed by the man beneath Sterling’s prickly exterior, or for him to reignite a spark she thought was dead. But no matter how tempting she finds him, she can’t risk losing her B&B… or her heart."
"Will a flighty free-spirit and a rugged Irish bartender have their second chance at love this festive season?
Evie Parata breezed out of her small town as a teenager to see the world and never looked back. But lately, the years of constant motion have weighed on her, and with her first Christmas without her mother approaching, she’s lonelier than ever. Going home to regroup seemed like a great plan. Getting stranded outside her ex’s bar? Not so much.
While Davy O’Connor is willing to invite Evie into his home, falling for her is another matter entirely. He’s been there, done that, and has the emotional scars to prove it. But despite his best intentions, he can’t seem to keep his heart—or his hands—to himself, which will surely be a problem when she skips town. Again.
With lingering feelings, and a few new ones, can they overcome their painful past to take a second chance at love? Or are they destined to go their separate ways when Christmas ends?"
