Return to Heart Falls—a place for family, friends, and falling in love. The first stand alone novel in a new trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend. Lisa Coleman committed to stay in Heart Falls until her sister’s baby arrives, but after that, she’s moving on. She’s not sure exactly what is on the agenda, so it’s good to still have a few months to figure out her dreams. While she’s waiting, there’s no reason she can’t enjoy herself with the very sexy local veterinarian. A naughty interlude with a man who knows all the right moves would be the perfect distraction from Coleman chaos: newborn baby! New dog! New found family?! Josiah Ryder is beginning to feel women only want him for one thing. Playing fast and loose was fun in the past, but it’s time for a change. He’s ready to prove he’s in it for the long haul, but the one woman he truly wants insists she’s in town for six months and not a moment longer. He’ll have to pull out all the stops to make Lisa realize nothing out there can compete with finding forever right under her nose.

Return to Heart Falls—a place to find new friends and a true family. When his best friend’s sister-in-law approaches him with an urgent plea for help, Zach Donovan goes with his gut. Kiss the woman? Of course. Pretend to be her short-term boyfriend? No problem. Accidentally end up married? Problem. Particularly when the marriage triggers a legal complication. If Zach doesn’t stay hitched for one year, he loses everything. Julia Blushing is still reeling after discovering the family she never knew existed. Trusting anyone right now isn’t easy. Plus, considering her last real relationship went terribly wrong, allowing tall, dark and tempting Zach into her life for more than a few weeks? Huge problem. The reasons to stick together are too important to cut and run, but their impossible situation needs some clear guidelines. No unnecessary public displays of affection. Absolutely no sex. For 365 days. While they live together… Good luck on that one.
