Raspberry Ridge Sweet Beach Romance

Vera Miller, a talented garden designer, comes to Raspberry Ridge with a heavy heart, planning a garden in memory of her son. Dominic, her estranged husband, joins her to help. Working together, they reminisce about their youth spent by Lake Michigan's shores.

She thought she was going on a romantic getaway with her boyfriend, but he dropped her off and drove out of town, leaving Skyler Montgomery scared, penniless and alone. Homer Aiken needs help caring for his mother, but he's not expecting a homeless woman to take over his garage. He doesn't know where the pesky woman came from, but he doesn’t have time to deal with his mother, let alone another needy female. He has formulas to figure out and equations to master.

Amara Jardine didn’t expect to leave her big city marketing job and return home. But the death of her parents in a car crash brings her back to Raspberry Ridge along with the two sisters she barely knows. One mystery they all share: why did their mother have such a hatred for the Gilcrest family and why weren’t they ever allowed to talk to their one son, Hobert? Regardless, Amara just wants to clean the mansion out and sell it and get back to her life on the East Coast.

Mertie Jardine came home because of her parents’ death, but she has secrets of her own. On a dark night, long ago, she gave away something precious, and the only person who knows lives in Raspberry Ridge. She can’t stay long or the public life she’s built for herself as a Christian speaker and conference leader could come crashing down. Garnet Irving remembers that dark night well. He remembers the scared, hurting girl even better. She’s somewhere under the cool and collected exterior of the woman who’s back in town and he’d like to find her. He never stopped wishing she could be his.

Olive Jardine almost died living her adventure, backpacking around the world and going wherever the wind blew. Coming back to Raspberry Ridge feels safe and she has no interest in leaving ever again. But her sisters want to sell the family home. They need the money and she can’t afford to buy it outright. Her best friend from childhood just might have a plan that could get her the home she wants, but can he get past the pain she caused him before she left and the way she betrayed him? Doyle Lowry is not the boy she remembers. He's better.

Birdie Pollock just rented a beach house for the summer. She needed to get away from the noise and the lights and the pressure…okay, she’s burnt out and can’t let anyone know. She has to be back to full speed by fall when her big American tour kicks off. Wesley Moffett is burnt out. He’s lying low after the last game of the hockey season, and trying to write the book his agent is demanding from him. He used to love hockey, but that love turned to hate and he never did like writing. It’s going to be the worst summer ever. Unless he can con his next-door neighbor into writing his book for him.
