"Now a 2022 BookFest Award winning book and a Carolyn Contest Finalist
The past doesn't define us. Love does.
When high school principal, William Garrison, steps in to help a bullied freshman boy, he is surprised to learn that fifteen-year-old Ben is the son of his former high school nemesis, Benito 'Benny' Vega.
William has mixed feelings about seeing Benny again, considering Benny was the one who used to torment and pick on William for being different. But Benny is a changed man, in more ways than one, and he wants the chance to prove to both his son and William that he's not the same guy he once was.
Can William be the bigger man and let go of his unresolved feelings toward Benny or will their shared personal history get in the way of helping Ben?
After all, love always wins, right?

"Grayson Darling is suddenly the new Hollywood 'it' guy and needs a break from stardom. As an American actor turned heartthrob, Gray rose to superstar status as a romantic lead on a popular streaming service—but it's getting harder to hide who he really is. To his legions of female fans, he's a straight man.
But it's all a made-for-TV lie.
Needing a holiday during the show's summer hiatus, Gray books a stay at a rural Ireland B&B, where he hopes the scenery and solitude will spark creativity to finish his first screenplay.
Gruff and steady Niall O'Reardon wonders if this is all life has to offer him now that he's retired from the Gaelic football league and has taken over his family farm in Ireland. A place where dreams get shoveled up along with the sheep muck. He has no illusions that he'll find the perfect love or start a family someday.
Until his new handsome American B&B guest shows up, messing with his ideas on what love is supposed to be, giving him hope that he can have it all and that perfect isn't just a fantasy.
But choices must be made, and the truth has consequences. And hearts and reputations are on the line and need to be protected.

"He's reeled me in. Hook, line, and sinker.
Finn
It's true what they say.
Possessing a pretty face has its perks, especially one I've relied on since I began modeling at seventeen. It's paid for my college education and sent me around the world—all without taking a single dime from dad.
But it never got me what I truly wanted: his approval. That's the reason I'm in Stoney Brook, Maine. To make a difference and prove to my dad I've changed.
What I don't expect in this lobster fishing town is to catch feelings for a certain lobsterman. But Mason Proctor reeled me in, hook, line, and sinker.
