Dreamers in Cheshire Bay

2023

Mia MacDonald loves Cheshire Bay more than she loves herself – just ask her former fiancé. Between the landscape, the people, and the idyllic setting, it’s her whole world. She’s happiest showing the area to people looking to enjoy a less-hectic, peaceful way of life and she’s not just Cheshire Bay’s number one realtor, she’s also their unofficial ambassador. On the hunt for a fresh, new property, recently divorced Zachary Newton-Garcia discovers the small town hidden gem nestled along the Pacific coastline on Vancouver Island. Offer accepted sight unseen, he’s finally ready to see the place in person and move forward with his future business plans. Until the effervescent Mia eclipses his heart and soul. Expecting someone older, Mia is pleasantly surprised by the dashing, handsome man who takes in every animated word she speaks. It’s an instant and intense connection, filled with a swept-off-her-feet steaminess she reserves for dreaming. Everything was perfect until she finds out the real reason Zachary bought a home in her utopia. The last thing she wanted was to declare war, but no one would change Cheshire Bay. Not even the charismatic man with two names.

Return to Cheshire Bay

2021

What better place to start over, than where it all began? Lily Baker needs a restart. No job, no boyfriend, and a baby on the way, she takes a break from her fast-paced city life to slow down in the seaside village where she spent her summers growing up, to re-examine her life. Back in Cheshire Bay, memories of her deeply trouble teenage years come flooding back. A face from her past, her neighbour Eric – a hottie with a heart of gold – doesn’t seem to care about Lily’s terrible reputation and welcomes her back with open arms. Could a romantic fling with him be in the cards? The more Lily settles into the beach life, the less she craves the urban hustle, and starts to feel like this is where she belongs. But small towns talk and small towns remember, and Lily’s going to have to deal with her past if she plans on making Cheshire Bay, and Eric, her future. Fans of Rachel Gibson and Jill Shavis will love this sweet and charming story of a straightened out bad girl coming home to her small town on Vancouver Island.

But like Mona, Jesse hides beneath his own scars and secrets. Can these two help each other heal old wounds even when their past hurts resurface? Will Mona be able to drop her walls and embrace the magic of the season and finally heal the damage from Christmas' past?
