"She swore off men. He'd given up on finding 'the one.' Then a blizzard changed everything.
Lucy Darlington has had it with dating. After one too many disasters—including a first date that ends with a margarita to someone's face—she's done. Her man ban is ironclad. No exceptions. What she doesn't expect is to get stranded in the middle of a freak snowstorm with Spencer Cassidy, the quiet, hometown guy she's secretly admired since high school.
Spencer has always noticed Lucy. He just never found the right moment to say so. Stuck together in a cozy cabin as the snow piles higher and the world outside goes quiet, he finally has all the time he never knew he needed—and a growing certainty that she might be everything he'd stopped believing in.
Snowbound and reluctant, Lucy and Spencer discover that being stranded together is a lot less terrible than either of them expected. But when the roads clear and real life rushes back in, will what they found in the quiet of the storm be strong enough to survive the rest?
Next to You is a cozy, warm small-town romance about the unexpected magic of being stuck in exactly the right place, with exactly the right person."
"The swoony single-dad firefighter needs my help, but he might be too hot for me to handle.
I'm in Cozy Creek for two reasons: To get over my breakup and help my grandmother run her bakery while she recovers from a sprained ankle.
I am absolutely not here to fall in love.
But my grandma's smoking hot firefighter neighbor keeps rescuing me—from the side of the road, from a tree (don't ask), and then finally from my ex with a steamy kiss in a bar.
So when he needs my help, how can I say no?
As a party planner, I'm the perfect person to step in and work with him on preparations for Cozy Creek Fire Brigade's Fall Fundraiser.
Sparks fly as we spend more time together, but we've both been burned by love before.
I do my best to beat the heat, but then he kissed me for real, and (f)all at once, I realize we might just be perfect for each other.
Fall at Once is part of the Cozy Creek Collection of small-town standalones. It is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy."
