From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Laura Scott Welcome to McNally Bay - A small town with big secrets... Will his secret tear them apart? Brianna Murphy’s surprise visit to McNally Bay backfired in a big way. Instead of closing the gap between her and Jake McNally, the gulf between them had widened. She’s anxious to fly home to Ireland, but when Jemma injures her wrist and can’t cook for the B&B, Bree agrees to stay and help. When Jake decides to stick around, and asks for a second chance, she reluctantly agrees, despite knowing they both want different things out of life. Jake had avoided McNally Bay for twelve years, returning only to escort his younger sister, Jemma down the aisle for her wedding. Everyone loved the quaint small town, but he knew McNally Bay had a dark underbelly and couldn’t wait to leave, until a surprise visit from his former girlfriend, Brianna Murphy derails his plans. Jake soon realizes the secrets he’d avoided for all these years, have shot to the present. And worse, they threatened his family—including Bree. Jake begins to understand the only way to move forward with his life is to solve the mysteries of his past.

Return to Haven Point, where New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne proves there’s no sweeter place to fall in love… Evergreen Springs Christmas is the last thing on Cole Barrett’s mind this year. He’s barely hanging on trying to care for his two grieving children since his ex-wife died in a tragic accident. For the reclusive Cole, this is no time for gift-giving and celebration—and certainly not for a sunny-natured optimist to blow into his screwed-up life. Physician Devin Shaw has long researched the curative powers of Lake Haven’s mineral waters. Unfortunately, the hot springs are on Barrett property, forcing Devin to strike a bargain with the ranch’s attractively gruff owner: she’ll give Cole’s children a magical Christmas, and Cole will allow her patients access to the springs. But can she work her holiday magic to heal the Barrett family’s battered hearts—and her own? Riverbend Road Protecting the streets of Haven Point isn’t just a job for police officer Wyn Bailey, it’s a family tradition. But lately she’s found herself wanting more, especially from her boss—and overprotective brother’s best friend—sexy chief of police, Cade Emmett. The only problem is getting Cade to view her as more than just a little sister. Cade’s hands-off approach with Wyn isn’t from lack of attraction. But his complicated past has forced him to conceal his desire. When Wyn is harmed in the line of duty, Cade realizes the depth of his feelings, but can he let his guard down long enough to embrace the love he secretly craves?

In New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne’s the town of Haven Point, love can be just a wish—and one magical kiss—away… Snowfall on Haven Point It’s been two rough years since Andrea Montgomery lost her husband, and all she wants is for her children to enjoy their first Christmas in Haven Point. But then Andie’s friend asks a favor—to keep an eye on her brother, Sheriff Marshall Bailey, who’s recovering from a hit and run. Andie will do anything for Wyn, even park her own misgivings to check on her grouchy, wounded bear of a brother. Marshall hates feeling defenseless and resents the protective impulses that Andie brings out in him. But when a blizzard forces them together for the holidays, something in Marshall begins to thaw. Andie’s gentle nature is a salve, and her kids’ excitement for the holidays makes him forget why he never wanted a family. If only he and Andie can admit what they really want—each other—their Christmas wishes might come true after all. Serenity Harbor Computer-tech millionaire Bowie Callahan is about the last person that schoolteacher Katrina Bailey wants to work for. As far as she can see, he’s arrogant, entitled and not up to the task of caring for his young half brother, Milo. But Kat is, especially if it brings her closer to her goal of adopting an orphaned little girl. And as her kindness and patience work wonders with Milo, she realizes there’s more to sexy, wary Bo than she’d ever realized. Bo never imagined he’d be tasked with caring for a sibling he didn’t know existed. Then again, he never pictured himself impulsively kissing vibrant, compassionate Katrina in the moonlight. Now he’s ready to make her dream of family come true…and hoping there’s room in it for him, too…
