Built by James Everell Henry, the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (EB&L) is considered to be the grandest and largest logging railroad operation ever built in New England. In 1892, the mountain town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, was transformed from a struggling wilderness enclave to a thriving mill town when Henry moved his logging operation from Zealand. He built houses, a company store, sawmills, and a railroad into the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River watershed to harvest virgin spruce. Despite the departure of the last EB&L log train from Lincoln Woods by 1948, the industry's cut-and-run practices forever changed the future of land conservation in the region, prompting legislation like the Weeks Act of 1911 and the Wilderness Act of 1964. Today, nearly every trail in the Pemigewasset Wilderness follows or utilizes portions of the old EB&L Railroad bed.

After a drug overdose claimed his sister, True "TJ" Bannister abandons his celebrity lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock and roll to seek redemption and peace. Now, running a quiet bookstore in picturesque Cape Cod, he dreams of a fairytale ending but fears his troubled past makes him unworthy of love.

Moving into his grandparents' house in coastal Maine, Marine Erik Storm is determined to honor the promise he made to a dying mother. Protect her two young children despite the injury that left him barely able to walk. When his neighbor offers to help, he sees the shy teenager he knew in a different light.

When Erik's claim on the children is questioned, he and Tessa arrange a marriage of convenience to retain custody. A scarred soldier and an agoraphobic loner make the perfect couple. But their practical arrangement quickly evolves when unexpected feelings arise. As Erik and Tessa navigate their new roles as husband and wife, they must confront their deepest fears and desires. And when the reason for the marriage is threatened, will love be enough to keep them together? STOLEN DREAMS Can he loosen up enough to let her in? Control is Alex Storm's middle name. Every aspect of his life is scheduled down to the minute. His routines are part of him, and he cannot deviate. Finding a woman who can put up with his strict organization has been difficult... until Gina blows back into town. A nomadic life spent with her bohemian mother made Gina Mazelli the definition of a free spirit. Inheriting her grandmother's house requires her to put down temporary roots right next door to the sexiest control freak she's ever known. Alex hopes helping Gina fix up the house will lead to a quick sale and an end to the explosive chemistry between them. But every day they're together, Gina realizes she wants to create a home, especially if she can convince a certain uptight perfectionist that he's the key to making her dreams come true.
