Love almost got her killed. She’s not about to give it a second chance to finish the job. Paisley Prescott had one thing on her mind when she escaped her abusive husband. Survival. Finding a new romance was not even a remote possibility. Then she met him, and his kindness changed everything for her. Now, against all odds, she’s wishing she could open her heart once again…and it’s utterly terrifying… Nash Brookes knows domestic abuse when he sees it. After all, he lived through it with his mother. So, he’ll do whatever it takes to help Paisley, including bringing her home with him to the small town of Hope Creek. Falling for her was not part of the plan. But it doesn’t take long for him to do just that… Earning her trust won’t be easy. He will make mistakes along the way. But when all is said and done, can Nash convince Paisley that love is worth the risk? Or will their shot at happily ever after stay buried beneath the pain of her past?

Is it a second chance at happily ever after—or merely an echo of the love they once had and lost? Sophie Greene thought she was doing the right thing when she left Hope Creek at eighteen. She knew it would break Cade Brookes’s heart…and her own. But at the time, she was certain she’d made the right choice. Now, back in the small town after her mom died, she’s far from sure. Cade’s spent the last twelve years trying—and failing—to forget Sophie. And now that she’s home, she wants a chance to explain why she ruined everything they had. Part of him wants to hear what she has to say. And part of him isn’t sure he can ever let her into his heart. Not again, anyway. But the truth can’t stay hidden forever. And when Sophie’s secrets are revealed, Cade will need to decide if the possibility of a future with Sophie is worth the risk—or if their love should remain firmly in the past forever…

Nothing complicates a friendship faster than love… Seb Brookes has no intention of falling in love ever again. So, when he invites a family friend to move into the apartment above his bar, romance is not on his agenda. That doesn’t stop him from noticing how gorgeous she is, though…or from wanting her. But friendship is all he can handle. He’ll just have to learn to keep his mind—and hands—off his new tenant. That was the plan, anyway… Taylor Jacobs needed a fresh start—and the small town of Hope Creek was the perfect place to get it. She wasn’t prepared to fall for Seb…but she did. He’s sexy, charming—and emotionally unavailable. She knows love isn’t in the cards for them. But that doesn’t mean a physical relationship is out of the question…right? The line between friends with benefits and love is whisper-thin, and crossing it could lead to happily ever after…or utter devastation. Which way will Seb and Taylor go? There’s only one way to find out…
