After all the girls for a girls’ weekend jump ship, Brooke Sahler is left alone to spend a makeshift spa weekend in the mountains of Washington. As she’s happily wrapping herself in plastic wrap and smearing mud on her face, a freak spring snow storm leaves her stranded in the cozy cabin she rented. But not to fear, she’s got plenty of food and cable television to indulge in until the snow melts. When the owner of the property stops by to check on her, she’s shocked to see her first crush standing on the other side of the door. He’s sinfully sexy, and every sizzle and tingle returns with a vengeance. Funny how Aunt Hildie never mentioned who owns the lodge. . . Kyle North always had a thing for his friends’ little cousin, Brooke. He remembers spending summers in Colorado tromping around with her and his best friends, Jake and Chance Harlen. She had a knack for getting them into plenty of trouble and daring him into the most intimate adventures. They shared a lot of firsts, and he’s never quite forgiven himself for taking one of them. By the look in her eyes, it’s safe to say she remembers that night and is less than pleased to see him—even if he’s holding an armload of wood to keep her warm. When she invites him in, every single emotion he felt when he was a teenager slams into him. She’s gorgeous, smart, and completely uninterested. Too bad she doesn’t believe in second chances. . . All books in the Island County Series can be read as standalones.

Janey Dixon loves being a reporter for Silver Ridge's newspaper, and the job is especially fun during the holidays.

However, when one of the editors at the paper decides to get in on a national trend and put together a Christmas scavenger hunt for the little town, Janey finds herself in the whirlwind of festivities. But as the tasks are checked off and Christmas is nearing, she can't help but notice everything seems to be centered around love.

Maya Bailey planned nothing more than a summer trip to Buttercup Lake to visit her sister, niece, and grandma. She needed to get the bad taste out of her mouth from being stood up at the altar, or in this case, the courthouse. It doesn’t help that the man who broke her heart also owns half of the company she runs and has no intention of departing amicably. But when Maya rolls into the small town of Buttercup Lake, she sees how incredibly happy her sister and niece are in the small resort town on the lake, and she wonders if she’s been chasing after the wrong things all these years. It doesn’t help that the house on the lake she’s renting happens to have a really attentive landlord, who is the sexiest man in existence. Too bad she no longer trusts men. Cash Knox is used to tourists coming into town and trashing his lake house with a dreaded promise to return, but when his next guest shows up, he can barely remember the code to open the front door and trips over his tongue offering to promise Maya a good time, which wasn’t exactly what he meant. As he gets to know Maya, he realizes that maybe she’s not the only one who’s been prioritizing things in life incorrectly, but as they grow closer, Cash knows there’s something that could tear them apart, and he doesn’t know how to tell her the secret he never intended on keeping.

Nina Bailey nearly crashed and burned upon arrival to Buttercup Lake. Still, from all outward appearances, she’s got her life together…Or at least as together as a single, bohemian artist nearing forty possibly could have. Oh, and she just moved in with her grandma. But what she hasn’t told her sisters is that her life is falling apart all around her, and Buttercup Lake is her last hope. And then she meets Beckett—the one man who dangles an opportunity in front of her she just can’t resist. Beckett Knox loves living anywhere other than a place no one has ever heard of in a state that regularly turns into the arctic multiple times each winter and where the residents tout cheese curds as a gourmet experience. Plus, everyone is always smiling and happy. It’s like a disease. He just doesn’t get it. So, when his parents invite him to come home to celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary, he reluctantly hops on a flight headed to the Midwest.

The problem is that Nina Bailey is about to become his sister-in-law and has no plans for leaving Buttercup Lake. Which is exactly why he promises himself nothing more than a fling because that’s all he ever does. It’s all he’s ever done. Until Nina.
