"A sequel twelve years in the making.
Peter Green has led a charmed life. Born to be Hollywood royalty, he's a leading man with a heart of gold. All that's missing is love. But he gave his heart away twelve years ago and he doesn't want it back. When a PR disaster on his mother's latest film hands him his dream role, it feels like fate. The movie is shooting in Crane Cove, the hometown of the love of his life. There's just one tiny problem: she hates him. Good thing he's not too proud to beg for a second chance.
Sybil Morgan has spent the last seven years hating Peter Green. Ever since he was thrust back into her life when their best friends got married, she's done everything she can to avoid him. Now that he's starring in his mother's movie, he's going to be spending more than a few days in town. Sybil is sure she can stay strong and resist his charms, but after getting an offer she can't refuse, she's spending a lot of more time with him than she planned and she's not sure how much longer her resolve can last.
But with chemistry this undeniable, will they be able to keep things strictly casual? Or will Sybil's carefully guarded heart be on the line again?

"There's a fine line between love and fake . . .
Rockstar Sam Shoop has retreated to his secluded cabin in Crane Cove for some privacy. Unfortunately for him, the residents haven't gotten the memo and want to set him up with every available person they know. A fake girlfriend sounds like the answer to all of his problems, until he drops the name of a very real person—Lacey Finch, local dance teacher.
Lacey Finch is still considered an outsider by Crane Cove's standards, and the negative attention that comes with being the ex of one of its most infamous residents is growing tired. So when Sam suggests a fake relationship, it just might be the answer to some of her problems. The fact he doesn't remember her or the night they spent together in Barcelona ten years prior? Not her problem.
A mutual agreement for a common goal—less questions about their personal lives. But when their past keeps creeping up and the chemistry is very much still there, how long will their relationship stay fake?

He's everything she's ever wanted and she's everything he thinks he can never have. With their lives headed in opposite directions, can these love birds make it work or are they so flocked?

"Hotel manager Eloise Price is getting a crash course in being careful what you wish for. After years of dreaming about owning the historic Crane Hotel, she was thrilled when her former boss left half of the hotel to her in his will. But dreams have a funny way of turning into nightmares and all that original plumbing has sucked her bank account dry. It doesn't help that her co-owner hasn't lifted a finger to help. Would a jury convict her if she strangled him?
Graham Thatcher has it all. A thriving tech business, great friends, and a not-so-small obsession with a romantic Victorian drama that he keeps secret from everyone but his anonymous message board friend. The last thing he wanted was half of the decrepit hotel his great uncle left him in his will. After months of increasingly terse emails and zero progress, Graham finally travels to sleepy Crane Cove, Oregon, to convince his stubborn co-owner to see things his way. Except Eloise is not at all what he was expecting, and with every passing day, Graham begins to question if what he thought he didn't want is exactly what he needs.
And his elusive internet friend? She might be a little closer than he thinks.
