Joy Holiday traded small-town life for a fast-paced city career a lifetime ago. She never intended to return to the dusty mining town her estranged mother called home. But when she inherits her mom’s crumbling building, she’s forced to confront the past she thought she’d left behind. The dilapidated structure symbolizes memories Joy would rather bury, and she plans to demolish it and move on for good—so she hires the guy with the best reputation in town.
Charlie Hunnicutt is a hometown boy who has spent years painstakingly restoring each historic building brick by brick. Unbeknownst to Joy, the town’s passionate preservationist sees nothing but potential in the old structure. It’s a treasure, a piece of the town’s soul worth saving. So when Joy, with demolition on her mind, sweeps into town in her sleek BMW, it’s all Charlie can do to keep his cool.
What should be a straightforward business transaction quickly turns into a battle of wills as the two butt heads at every turn. But while they clash over the building’s fate, an undeniable attraction begins to grow between them.
As their connection deepens, Joy and Charlie are forced to face their conflicting visions and decide whether love can bridge the gap between their worlds. Where history clashes with the future, love might just be the blueprint.

Logical, cautious attorney Barrett Brockbank has two priorities—settling the clients’ cases from the firm’s recent court win and deciding what to do with the rest of his life.

K. Brady
An unexpected guest turns up in Port Townsend for Thanksgiving dinner at the O’Connell Compound. Edward, the eldest brother, has cast aside his Roman collar and arranged for an extended stay in a hotel. In his youth, he sowed some impressive wild oats. Joining the priesthood meant turning his back not only on his checkered past but also his worldly family.
Edward becomes a regular at Café Lisette, owned by the alluring and lissome Lisette Manegold. Based on scant evidence, his brother-in-law believes Lisette is a man-eater and a former call girl. Though those labels are off the mark, she has in fact buried an identity that would shock any family, let alone one as wealthy and respectable as the O’Connells.
Edward rejoices in his own fresh start and is prepared to overlook any and all dark secrets. It is Lisette who can’t forgive herself and move on. This Christmas season, they hope to reimagine the holiday together. If only the ghosts of the past will let them.

Rachel Prescott has always dated the wrong men. Each relationship begins with hope, but within months ends with “nope.” The harder she tries, the harder she fails. That is, until the new owner of Pier Ninety-Two, Miguel Rodriguez, spots her wallowing over her latest dating disaster in his restaurant.
Easily smitten with the brown-haired beauty, Miguel offers her his heart. Or at least, what’s left of it. Because Miguel has had his own troubled past finding the right woman. With the echo of lost love still haunting his heart, he convinces himself he’s ready to move on—and who better with than the spunky, sexy, and strong-willed, Rachel Prescott?
Over a bottle of wine (or two), Miguel and Rachel instantly connect. And by the end of the evening, it’s more than their shared plate of mushroom ravioli left steaming.

BOOKBUB – The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry
“I don’t want you.”
“I don’t want you, either.”
Cadence is stuck. Stuck in a career she didn’t want and with a guy who might as well be a stranger now. She’s craving something, anything, that feels like the life she’s missing out on. That spark ignites unexpectedly when she ends up at a rock show, face-to-face with Damien Walker—the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion. He’s all broody and sharp edges while making it clear he wants nothing to do with her.
Funny thing, though? That only piques her curiosity more.
Damien has his own mess to deal with—a past that keeps him from getting too close to anyone, and a family that’s depending on him. There’s no time for a mystery woman, no matter how intriguing or infuriating she is. But with her fiery spirit, Cadence breaks through his walls and lights up parts of him he’d thought were long dead. He can’t have her, and yet he can’t stay away.
Breaking a few rules might just be worth it, right?
But life doesn’t play fair, and for Cadence and Damien, it seems like everything’s trying to keep them apart.
Can they fight their way back to each other with the very music that brought them together in the first place?
This book isn’t your average rockstar romance. It has a band that’s still fighting for their shot, some not-so-private intimate moments, and two people who couldn’t be more right for each other.

When his manager and band mates insisted he needed some R&R, Loch Mackenzie, lead singer of successful rock band The Oath, reluctantly agreed. He wanted to feel like himself again. He wanted not to remember his dead sister’s body every time he closed his eyes. He did not want to spend a month of his summer in a small bed and breakfast in the south. That changed when he saw the sweet chaos of Hailey Prescott sprawled on her kitchen floor.��Hailey Prescott deliberately built her life around her business. She had no intention of falling in love and having a family. Her two best friends were all the family she needed. But she liked being around people, so running a Bed and Breakfast made perfect sense. Everyone she met would quickly exit her life with no fuss. Her life was perfect. She was happy. Until Loch Mackenzie scooped her up off the floor and started bulldozing through her barriers.��Finding Love is a story about healing from trauma and learning how to love after a great loss. There is a difference between being alive and living. To love, one must live.
