I never thought I’d be the proud owner of a quaint small-town bookstore, but life has a funny way of surprising us. With my virtual BFF’s encouragement to seize the day and follow my heart.

I’m 3,000 miles from New York City. Three thousand miles from the pain, betrayal, and heartache of a string of failed relationships. Including the relationship with my parents. Back in the Bay area, I can start fresh. Become one with the sea again. Rise or fall on the tide of my own choices. But on the first day of my bright new life, the darkest shadows of my past follow me through my office door. Both shadows have names. And I refuse to let these men into my future.

I don’t have time for flings. Love is out of the question. As a single mom and small-town doctor, my plate is more than full. But when Drake Kershaw, an experienced physician with a mysterious past, comes into my life, I can't resist his charm. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. Drake is smart, charming, and has a heart of gold. But he’s also grumpy and hesitant to let anyone close. Like the rest of his wealthy family, he’s full of secrets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dangerous. I should stay away, but how can I when he works in my practice?

Love is like a drug: dangerously intoxicating and addictively powerful. As a recovering addict, I know this too well. But how can I do it when Sanford and Aerin, my first loves—my unforgettable heartbreak—are back? Not only are they back, but Sanford insists Aerin needs us. He wants us to help her as we melt the shattered fragments of our hearts and become one—three hearts, one love. I should resist them. I understand the dangerous allure they—and love—have over me. I can’t risk falling back into old habits, having them become my everything once again.

I’ve been in love with Benedict Farrow since I was 14 years old. He’s my older brother’s best friend. One night we almost crossed that line. One night I almost got everything I wanted. Now he’s moved back to our small town—a hot single dad with a daughter. But I have finally moved on. I have a boyfriend who I actually like. I let Benedict go—Didn’t I? Hot, arrogant, confident Dr. Benedict Farrow is out of my life. At least, I think he is.

If practice makes perfect, I should excel at pretending that Heath Miller doesn’t affect me. That I’m immune to that wide jaw, taut body, and the unique woodsy-aftershave-engine-oil scent that makes my ovaries explode. Since before I could walk, he’s been my champion. My best friend. The one problem I can’t solve. Why? If I tell him I love him, I’ll lose him and his adorable daughter. Maybe the best Christmas gift I can give him—and myself—is to turn in the keys to my B&B and put some distance between us.

I’m not sure how I ended up in Heartwood Lake. One minute, I’m trying to help a friend, and the next, I’m being shipped off to a small town. And the only person to blame for my predicament is Callahan Thorndale.

Being a pencil pusher isn’t what I had in mind when I joined the FBI. So when I finally get a chance to prove myself, I won’t let anyone mess it up. Especially Harrison Everhart, my brother’s best friend and former Army Ranger. He’s quiet and lethal - but also incredibly loyal. Harrison doesn’t mind bending the law to get things done. He’ll do whatever it takes to do the right thing. And that may just mess up my big break. I know he’s willing to fight with me, but if I give him my heart will he fight for me as well?

They’re also too much to handle. Except you should never judge a book by its cover. And Henry Aldridge has more hiding beneath the surface than I ever thought possible....
