"Losing everything was supposed to be the end. It might be the beginning.
I’ve built my life around moving on.
New places. New projects. New causes. Make an impact, then keep going. It worked—right up until a scandal I never saw coming burned my reputation to the ground… and a house fire took everything else.
Now I’m stuck in a small mountain town with nothing but borrowed clothes, a growing list of problems, and a firefighter next door who refuses to let me fall apart quietly.
Colter Gibson is steady, capable, and entirely too easy to lean on. A single dad with deep roots, a protective streak a mile wide, and a way of looking at me like I’m something other than a hot mess.
Letting him help was supposed to be temporary.
So was staying in Gibson Hollow.
So was whatever this thing is igniting between us.
But the longer I’m here, the harder it is to pretend he doesn’t feel like home.
And when the life I lost comes calling, I have to decide…
Do I go back to who I was—
Or risk everything for the one place—and the one man—that makes me want to stay?
In a town that takes care of its own, sometimes you have to learn how to let yourself be one of them."
"Picture a place where the air smells like pine and possibility, where bonfires crackle, secrets simmer, and love shows up wearing a name tag and emotional baggage.
Welcome to Camp Firefly Falls.
This feel-good summer romance collection brings together three unforgettable love stories filled with second chances, hidden truths, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

"I built my life on my belief in justice. Until the day the system proved me wrong.
Now I’m back on Hatterwick Island with nothing left—no career, no credibility, and no illusions about the law I once trusted. The only thing heavier than the guilt I carry is knowing I once turned my back on a man who didn’t deserve it.
Rios Carrera.
Thirteen years ago, my cousin disappeared, and he was the last one to see her alive. I believed the whispers that he was responsible. I made him the villain of the story—and he has every reason to hate me for it.
But when a graduate student vanishes and the police insist she left of her own accord, Rios is the only one willing to look deeper. What starts as a search for the truth drags us into something darker than either of us imagined.
Reluctant allies become something far more dangerous. Because the closer we get to uncovering what’s been buried on this island for decades, the more I realize justice isn’t black and white…and the man I once condemned may be the only one I can trust with my life—and my heart."
"I rebuilt my grandmother’s bakery from the ground up. Poured everything I had into making it thrive again—flour, sweat, and a whole lot of tears.
Then she died. And her will blindsided me.
If I’m not married by the time probate closes, I lose the bakery to my mother—the last person who should ever be trusted with it.
Enter Bodie Gibson.
Childhood friend turned enemy. The boy who used to bring me tea and peanut butter sandwiches…
The cop who put my little brother behind bars.
He offers me a way out: a fake marriage that keeps the bakery in my hands and our past buried where it belongs.
It’s just paperwork. A few public appearances. Nothing real.
Except he still looks at me like he sees the girl I used to be.
And when he kisses me it doesn’t feel fake at all.
In a town built on second chances, sometimes the only way forward is to rewrite the ending."
"The last person I expect—or want—to take shelter with as a hurricane bears down on Hatterwick Island is Daniel LaRue—the man who broke my heart barely three months ago.
I’m not looking for distractions. The clinic’s been targeted by thieves. The island’s locked down tight against the storm.
And Daniel—hot Coast Guardsman, bad decision, walking heartbreak—is the last thing I need complicating my life again.
Coming back to the Outer Banks after med school was supposed to be a fresh start.
For a while, I thought maybe I’d bring him with me.
Until he accepted a promotion across the country without even telling me.
It turned out he was more of a situationship than anything real.
Except now he’s standing on my doorstep, insisting he’s here for me—and refusing to leave when everything in me screams to slam the door in his face.
Stranded together, we have no choice but to face the storm—and the feelings I thought I'd buried.
But as the hours tick by, it’s clear Daniel isn’t telling me everything.
And on Hatterwick Island, secrets always come with a price."
"Two unexpected love stories. Two second chances worth the risk.
From the heart of Tennessee comes a pair of unforgettable romances—proof that it’s never too late (or too surprising) to find forever.
Hung up on the Hacker
When a by-the-book Army vet collides with his best friend’s rebellious little sister, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and one reckless night leads to a future neither expected.
Caught up with the Captain
Thirty-four years after walking away, a retired naval officer comes home to the woman he never stopped loving. But the secret she’s kept could sink their second chance before it sets sail.
Packed with heat, heart, and the kind of emotion that lingers long after “The End,” these bonus novellas from the Bad Boy Bakers world serve up small-town charm, sizzling chemistry, and love stories that prove forever can rise from the unlikeliest of places."
"I never meant to be anyone’s heroine.
Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood. Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmother’s diner. And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral.
Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows I’m the author behind the pen name. And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book convention—least of all my brother’s best friend, cosplaying the hero he doesn’t know I modeled after him.
Now Ramsey Shaw is back in town. Volunteering. Smiling at me like I’m not on the verge of shattering. Like he remembers the kiss. Like he sees the truth.
I’ve spent my whole life being strong. Quiet. In control. But for the first time, I don’t want to be any of those things.
I just want to be his.
In a town held together by hope and heart, it’s the people who show up that make it shine."
"She walked into the masquerade like a dare—wearing a mask, a dress that could kill, and a look in her eyes I’d never seen before.
I knew it was her. She didn’t know I knew.
Alia Gibson is my best friend’s twin. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one girl I’m not supposed to want.
I told myself I was just watching out for her. That’s what friends do.
But the truth?
I’ve never wanted anything the way I want Alia.
And if I cross that line... I’m not sure I’ll ever come back."
"With all my best mates settled down, I'm the last single man standing. Of course, the one woman to spark my interest is the only one in Scotland who seems immune to my charm. Dr. Saoirse MacGregor is brilliant, beautiful, and decided she hated me at first sight.
When her friend goes missing on a research expedition, Saoirse turns to us at Out of Bound Scotland for help. With my military training, I'm the best tracker we've got, so she agrees to an uneasy alliance—as long as I take her along for the search.
But the Highlands hold dangerous secrets, and what starts as a search and rescue quickly becomes something far more treacherous. Forced to rely on each other to survive, the walls between us begin to crumble. Turns out the posh vet I've been clashing with for months has depths I never imagined.
I'll do whatever it takes to protect her. But the real surprise of this enemies-to-lovers journey? She might be the one saving me.
Beneath Highland Stars is a forced proximity, enemies to lovers, woman in trouble, small town Scottish contemporary romance, featuring a retired military dog who's gonna steal your heart."
"Ford Donoghue broke my heart a decade ago. And no matter how hard I tried, I was never really over it.
I perfected the art of ignoring him whenever he came home to Hatterwick Island—cold shoulders, polite smiles, and walls a mile high.
It worked.
Until the day his thirteen-year-old daughter walked into my bar, scared and looking for a father she’s never met.
One phone call later, Ford’s back in Hatterwick.
And so are all the feelings I swore I’d buried.
But this isn’t about us.
At least, it wasn’t supposed to be.
When a body washes up on the beach, the whole island goes on edge.
And when strange things start happening around Peyton, it’s impossible not to wonder if her late mother’s secrets are still casting shadows.
The more we dig, the more tangled the truth becomes.
And if we’re wrong about where the danger’s coming from, the girl who brought us back together might be the one who pays the price."
"The last thing I need while trying to make a success of my outdoor adventure company is a beautiful distraction. It takes all my focus to fight off the demons that remain from the injury that ended my career as a Royal Marine and deal with the clients that make me want to climb the nearest mountain and never come down.
But Parker Lawrence walks into our office, takes over a phone call, and changes everything. My desperate desire to keep her close has nothing to do with the fact that she's sunshine personified—sweet, capable, and completely unfazed by my grumpitude and total lack of charm.
She’s also hiding something. I should mind my own business, but this bright Southern belle has gotten under my skin, and I want to save her every bit as much as it feels like she's saving me.
When her secret catches up to her, I'll do anything to keep her safe, even if those overprotective instincts risk driving away the best thing that's ever walked into my life."
