Christmas is coming to Fireweed Island! Holly Wildes is excited to spend the holidays alone in a calm and peaceful setting with no pesky neighbors, no annoying bosses, and absolutely no horns honking or sirens blaring at three in the morning. After seven years of giving her all to a top investment firm in Manhattan, her holiday bonus included a pink slip and a rather slim severance package. So when her sister, Maddie, promises the perfect opportunity to work at her tea shop, Holly jumps at the chance to start over. What Holly doesn’t expect is to live across the street from one of the sexiest men she’s ever encountered. Thankfully, he seems too busy to notice her, and around town, she begins to learn that Nick is anything and everything but a saint. He is definitely not a complication she needs in her life, especially with her parents coming to town. Nick always thought he was content in life. He has a thriving business, enjoys the perks of being a bachelor, and never has to think twice about doing what he wants when he wants. That all changes once Holly moves in across the street. All she has to do is throw a smile in his direction, and he knows his life is forever changed. The only problem is that she doesn’t seem to know he exists.

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.

"Between a hot fireman and a sweet librarian, I never wanted the story to end. Each page sizzled with a slow burn, and it was a fantastic and heartwarming story." Jewels Jennings—zippy librarian by day and book blogger by night—came back to the one and only place beyond the pages of a book that has given her happiness, Fireweed Island. Years ago, she tore off the island in a speedboat with the man she was supposed to marry in tow and a vow never to return to small-town living . . . only to return with her tail between her legs, newly divorced, and completely skeptical of anything resembling love. She prefers to stick to the men between the pages of her latest read rather than waste time in the real world. Jake Harlen fled to Fireweed Island with the hopes of forgetting his past. He’s been busy carving out a life that anchors him far away from people and the complications they always manage to deliver. He likes his life, manages it with the care it deserves, and is content in his single ways . . . until he goes on a rescue call and meets the town librarian. When Jewels finds her life hanging in the balance more than once, Jake is the only one who can save her, but neither of them realizes the magic of love that Fireweed is determined to deliver, but only one of them is ready to accept what fate has in store.
