When city girl Holly Reinhart drives into the heart of the Adirondacks for a work conference, she doesn't expect three things: a massive snowstorm, a near-fatal encounter with a deer, and waking up with amnesia in a stranger's cabin. The stranger in question? A ruggedly handsome state police helicopter pilot named Grayson Moreland, who's definitely not on her "potential axe murderer" list—though he's quickly making his way onto her "future husband material" one.
As the storm rages outside their cozy shelter, Holly and Grayson discover they have more in common than survival instincts. She helps parents of missing children find hope; he rescues the lost in the wilderness. But when the snow melts and reality crashes in—bringing with it Holly's memories, her mother's mental illness, and Grayson's presumptuous ex-girlfriend—their winter wonderland romance faces its biggest test. Now they must decide if their connection is strong enough to bridge the gap between his mountain sanctuary and her city sanctuary. |
Quynn Morehouse has spent fifteen years crafting the perfect Boston life, far from the shadows of her traumatic childhood. But when her estranged mother's death coincides with her step-brother's release from prison, she's drawn back to the Adirondack town that nearly broke her. Her mission? Prove her brother's innocence in their step-father's murder—even if she's the only one who believes him. If only he'd stop telling her to leave town and let the past stay buried.
She didn't expect to find her childhood best friends all grown up and impossible to resist: Connor Rothschild, the charismatic B&B owner whose blue eyes still make her forget how to breathe, and Evan Winn, the brooding probation officer whose engagement ring doesn't stop the chemistry crackling between them. One offers his heart openly, the other struggles with feelings he shouldn't have—and both are determined to help her uncover the truth, even if her brother isn't. But small towns have long memories and sharp tongues. As Quynn digs deeper into her step-father's murder, she uncovers secrets that someone wants to keep buried. Now she must choose: chase the truth and risk losing everything, or return to her safe Boston life and leave the past—and possibly the love of her life—behind. |
From Lake Como to a room above her parents' neighborhood pub—this wasn't exactly the fairy tale Natalie Duran had in mind. After her rich Italian husband proved better at globe-trotting than monogamy, she's back in River City Falls with her daughter, serving beer to the same people who watched her trip over her own feet in high school. At least the view has improved: specifically, Benjamin Morrow, former football god turned track coach, whose perfect jawline is definitely not the reason she volunteers for every single school event.
Ben's tired of being River City's favorite tragic hero—the golden boy who lost his wife too young. He's also tired of his well-meaning neighbors' attempts to resurrect his love life. Between coaching and dodging casseroles from wannabe second wives, he's got no time for romance. So why does he keep finding excuses to visit the local pub where the former class bookworm now holds court? And when did quoting Jane Austen become so damn sexy? When their shared loneliness turns into shared nights, neither expects more than a temporary escape. But as Ben rediscovers joy in the arms of the woman who once doodled "Mrs. Darcy" in her notebooks, Natalie's ex-husband storms back into town, determined to reclaim his designer family. Now Ben must decide if he's ready to risk his heart again, while Natalie faces a choice: return to her glamorous past or bet everything on a second chance at a messy, beautiful, real-life love story. |
Maddy Parker has mastered the art of juggling—four redheaded daughters, a farmhouse that's one sneeze away from collapse, and a steamy secret career as erotic romance author Geneve Lark.

And now there's a rumor that famous author Vivica Joos is hiding out in her tiny Adirondack village? Yeah, no pressure.

A brooding veteran who communicates primarily in grunts and comes with his own furry sidekick—a black Lab named Major who's appointed himself the Parker family's personal security detail. Elijah's determined to keep his distance, but between Maddy's magnetism and her daughters' chaos-creating superpowers, his lone wolf act doesn't stand a chance. As Maddy fights to keep her alter ego under wraps and her writing shed from becoming a pile of inspiration-killing splinters, Elijah finds himself playing reluctant knight in dusty work boots. but with her ex sniffing around for blackmail opportunities and Elijah's walls proving harder to tear down than her old farmhouse, they're both learning that some repairs take more than just a toolbox to fix. |
When local forest ranger Micah Wright isn't rescuing lost hikers or rehabilitating wildlife, he's finding creative ways to land himself in the ER. Sure, his injuries might be slightly exaggerated, but how else is he supposed to check on the prettiest nurse in River City Falls? Everyone knows him as the town goofball—the football star who traded his cleats for hiking boots and never quite grew up. What they don't know is that his class-clown act masks a deeper pain: the loss of the only person who ever truly believed in him—his sister.
Izzy Vargas has perfected the art of keeping up appearances. By day, she's the capable ER nurse with a ready smile. By night, she's a single mom trying to protect her young son from his father's PTSD-fueled spiral into addiction and violence. Her husband's frequent disappearances have become routine, but this time feels different. The only bright spot in her life, besides her son, is the endearingly accident-prone ranger who keeps showing up in her ER with increasingly dubious injuries and a menagerie of rescued wildlife. When Micah is the one who finds her husband's body in the mountains, their careful dance of mutual pining transforms into something real. But dating the widow of a veteran in a small town comes with its own set of complications. As their secret romance blossoms, they discover that the community they feared would judge them might just be their strongest support system—and that sometimes the class clown and the perfect nurse make the most perfectly imperfect pair. |
Dr. Kam Tarleton never met a challenge she couldn't conquer. Whether it's wrestling ornery llamas at her wildlife clinic or scaling mountains in Asia, she's always up for an adventure. The only thing she avoids more than the word "no" is commitment—until Adam Duran slides into her life with travel stories that rival her own and a smile that should come with a warning label.
Adam's perfectly content running his family's pub, living with his doting parents (hello, free laundry!), and maintaining his status as River City Falls' most charming bachelor. His only rule? Keep a safe distance from anything with more than two legs. But when the new vet in town starts beating him at pool and matching him story for story, he finds himself regularly cornered by her clinic's resident therapy goat, who seems determined to eat his favorite jeans—and his resolve to stay single. Their no-strings arrangement seems foolproof—until it isn't. Between saving wild animals (which Adam swears are plotting against him), dealing with meddling townspeople, and facing the return of her uncle's cancer, Kam finds herself needing more than just a travel buddy. And Adam discovers that folding someone else's laundry—and learning to dodge amorous farm animals—might not be such a terrible future after all. In a small Adirondack town where everyone thinks they know what's best for these two wandering souls, Kam and Adam might just find that the greatest adventure of all is falling in love—even if it wasn't on either of their bucket lists, and even if Adam still can't tell the difference between a llama and an alpaca. |
Sixteen years ago, Keion James took the fall for a murder he didn't commit to protect those he loved most. Now free from prison, he's determined to keep his distance from everyone—especially from Shemie Rainwater, the only woman who ever owned his heart, and the teenage son he's never met.
Shemie has spent those years raising their son alone, building a life in their close-knit Adirondack town while carrying the weight of a devastating secret: she knows who really killed Keion's abusive stepfather. When Keion returns to the mountain community that once judged him so harshly, his stubborn attempts to push her away don't stand a chance against her iron will. She's waited sixteen years to reunite her family, and she's not about to let small-town prejudices or Keion's protective walls stop her now. But as Keion struggles to find his place among the whispers and sideways glances of their mountain town and forge a relationship with a son who grew up under the shadow of his absence, the truth about that fatal night threatens to surface. Can Shemie convince Keion that the family they've always dreamed of is worth fighting for, or will the past tear them apart for good? |
