"Eve
Christmas in Snowflake Falls is the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, sounds, and smells are pure magic. Living here is like being wrapped up in a warm holiday hug. There's nothing better.
My cozy little world gets shaken like a snow globe when the house next door sells. Worse yet, the new neighbor's tomcat sneaks over and makes himself at home on my Christmas quilt with my sweet feline. Furious, I storm next door to give the owner a piece of my mind, only to find John Mitchell—my first love—standing there.
It would be so easy to fall back into a rhythm with him, one where only he and I exist. As the holidays pull us closer, I have to wonder, are we just wrapped up in the season… or could this time be different?
John
Returning to Snowflake Falls is exactly what I needed in my life—especially right before Christmas. I'd forgotten how much I missed the holidays in my hometown.
What I didn't expect was my new next-door neighbor to be the one who got away. The moment she stomps over to my house, bangs on my door, and demands cat support in the likelihood of a feline pregnancy, I know I'm done for. Eve is every bit as feisty and beautiful as I remember.
Being around her rekindles feelings I thought had faded, and the spark between us makes me think we could pick up right where we left off. First, I have to convince her this isn't about holiday nostalgia. It's about forever."
"Joey
I don't want to be someone's dirty little secret. I know all too well what that feels like.
Guarding my heart means staying out of pro football player Brock Williams's bed and out of the spotlight. After all these years, he's exactly like I remember: charming, determined, and used to getting what he wants. And what he wants now is me.
The chemistry between us is undeniable. The guy I always saw as a player is now the one who makes my heart beat fast—the one who leaves dirty love notes on my pillow.
Oh, yeah…he also happens to be my brother's best friend.
Brock
Hooking up with Joey is a bad idea, but that's not going to stop me.
I remember the first time we met. Joey showed up on campus to visit her brother, and when she came walking out in that little yellow bikini, I stopped seeing her as my best friend's little sister and started seeing her as someone I desired but could never have. It turns out I was wrong.
For now, it's stolen moments and promises on paper…of all the things I'm going to do once I make her mine. Her brother might not forgive me, but she's worth the risk. I can't deny myself any longer.
I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. It's time to execute the play and show Joey how our story ends."
"Walker
There’s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends isn’t so bad either. We put everything into Burgers and Brew. My job is to keep the alcohol moving and the patrons coming back for more. I won’t let anyone break my focus.
That was until I saw her.
As much as I try, I can’t fight it. Mallory makes me crave a future I never wanted for my own.
Now, I want it all.
Mallory
When I started my new job at a local specialty burger restaurant, I wasn’t expecting to find a tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome distraction in the form of Walker Meyer. He’s one of the owners, which means hands off. Only problem, it’s a lot easier said than done.
Especially when he’s so good with my daughter.
I try to keep him at a distance, but he’s insistent, slowly breaking down every one of my walls. He’s fighting to convince me I can trust him with not only my heart, but my daughter’s too.
I pray he’s right."
"Mack
I live to race. It’s in my blood—the smell of dirt and gasoline, the fast cars, the screaming fans. I was the king of a small track in Missouri with the world at my fingertips. I even had the girl, until a call came from the infamous Colton Donavan. I had a choice to make: my dream or the woman I loved. I couldn’t have both.
When an unexpected surprise shows up on my doorstep in the form of a baby, there’s only one woman I trust enough to help me. Lena Stanley, the one I left behind. But being in close proximity to her reminds me of what we used to have, and what I still want. Her.
Lena
The day he walked away to chase his dream was the hardest day of my life, but I powered through. I could never ask Mack to choose between me and the opportunity of a lifetime. That’s why I pushed him toward the latter, despite the heartache it caused.
Now, he needs my help. The problem is it’s hard to keep old feelings buried. Despite my best efforts, our connection is too powerful to deny. However, as our short time together draws to a close, I have another difficult choice to make. Only this time, I’m not just walking away from him, but his son too.

"For Samuel Grayson, everything is black or white. As a funeral director, there's no room for in-between.

He's pretty sure her goal is to make his life hell, or so it appears. When Samuel boards a flight to Las Vegas for his sister's wedding, the last thing he expects is to share it with the woman who drives him crazy.
Freedom is eccentric and completely content with it. Floating around from job to job, she finds peace and tranquility in everything she does, including tormenting poor, uptight Samuel Grayson. When she finds herself on the same flight as him for her best friend's wedding, she sees this as the perfect opportunity to get under his skin, something she tries to do every chance she gets. The problem is the more time she spends with him, the more she likes him.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Not for Samuel and Freedom. Will they be able to forget about their trip when they return to Rockland Falls? What if one mistake turns out to be the best thing ever?

"Everything is coming together for Harper Grayson. She has a family she adores, a quaint little house that's all hers, and a puppy to keep her warm at night. Plus, her lingerie shop, Kiss Me Goodnight, is successful. With her eyes now set on an expansion the moment the empty building next door finally becomes available, things are finally aligning perfectly for Harper. Until Latham Douglas walks through her door . . .
Latham Douglas has been back from a long stint in the Army for mere days when he has his first run-in with a blast from his past. It's a pleasant surprise to find Harper Grayson selling sexy lingerie just down the block from his family's hardware store, but he won't let the stunning woman he remembers from school derail his plans. His business needs the empty building next door, and he's willing to do just about anything to secure it.
Harper and Latham have the same dream. What happens when they realize they can't both have what they want? Who will give, especially after business turns to pleasure? Can they keep their hearts out of it, or will the winner actually be the biggest loser of all?

"Marissa Grayson's dream went up in smoke. A devastating fire has ripped apart her family's bed and breakfast, leaving her off-kilter and scrambling to repair the damage. What she doesn't need, or have time for, is Rhenn Burleski. Sexy, confident, and dangerous to her heart.

However, he knows the second he meets the shy daughter of the bed and breakfast's owner that his life is never going to be the same. As hard as he tries, he just can't resist one taste.
What happens when their time is up and Rhenn must leave, returning to his old life? Will they be able to walk away, hearts unscathed, or will their time together prove to be nothing more than a fading memory?
Contains mature themes."
