Quinn Mannion never believed in destiny until she came to Honeymoon Harbor. The eldest of five siblings, Quinn has always found success-head altar boy, valedictorian of Honeymoon High, big-city lawyer. Until he gave it all up. Walking away from his lucrative career and returning to Honeymoon Harbor to reopen the old family pub wasn't as tough as he thought. Not nearly as tough as meeting the woman who was meant to be his forever. But loving a married woman is a line Quinn won't cross.
Despite Amanda Barrow's attempts to be friendly yet reserved, she knows Quinn has noticed a shadow hanging over her. And walls that don't invite intimacy. And the unexplained bruises. As much as she tries not to fall so quickly, Quinn's steady nature and loving concern have Amanda burying memories of her disastrous marriage and feeling hopeful for the future. But she'll have to let go of the chaos and pain of the past-and accept a staggering family secret-before she and Quinn can get their happy-ever-after.

Welcome back to Honeymoon Harbor, where the majestic scenery of this small coastal town is second only to the legendary romances that have built the community...
Pro quarterback Burke Mannion is at a crossroads in his career-nearing retirement age, he wonders if it's time to hang up his cleats, or keep pushing on and head to training camp in a few short weeks. The decision is delayed by an upsetting phone call from his brother, and without blinking, Burke packs for Honeymoon Harbor and the home he hasn't seen in years. The last person he expects to see when he arrives is the woman he had once thought might be the one-the same woman who had broken up with him by text as she left New York.
Having heard Burke's stories about Honeymoon Harbor, Lily Fletcher never really believed there was any place as idyllic as he'd made it sound. But as much as she's tried to keep her past in the past by avoiding personal connections, deep down she secretly always hoped she'd see Burke again. As Lily and Burke fall back into their unresolved feelings for one another, she knows she has to come clean about who she really is as he struggles with the choice to go back to the celebrity life he knows or embrace the one he's beginning to think could be the true path to happiness.

After a successful career as a child TV star, Tess is, for the first time, suffering from a serious identity crisis, and grieving for the absent father she's resented all her life.
Charlotte, brought up to be a proper Southern wife, gave up her own career to support her husband's political ambitions. On the worst day of her life, she discovers her beloved father has died, she has two sisters she never knew about and her husband has fallen in love with another woman.
Natalie, daughter of Jack's longtime mistress, has always known about her half sisters, and has dreaded the day when Tess and Charlotte find out she's the daughter their father kept.
As the sisters reluctantly gather at the vineyard, they're soon enchanted by the Swann family matriarch and namesake of Maison de Madeleine wines, whose stories of bravery in WWII France and love for a wounded American soldier will reveal the family legacy they've each inherited and change the course of all their lives.

Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, Jolene Wells is forever indebted to the mother who encouraged her to fly-all the way to sunny LA and a world away from Honeymoon Harbor. Although Jolene vowed never to look back, returning home isn't even a question when her mom faces a cancer scare. Which means running into Aiden Mannion all over town, the first boy she ever loved-and lost-and whom she can barely look in the eye.
Aiden's black-sheep reputation may have diminished when he joined the marines, but everything he's endured since has left him haunted. Back in Honeymoon Harbor to heal, he's talked into the interim role of police chief, and the irony isn't lost on the locals, least of all Aiden. But seeing Jolene after all these years is the unexpected breath of fresh air he's been missing. He's never forgotten her through all his tours, but he's not sure anymore that he's the man she deserves.
Despite the secret they left between them all those years ago, snow is starting to fall on their picturesque little town, making anything seem possible…maybe even a second chance at first love.
