After a grueling investigation that turns her life upside down, she steals away to Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, with a new identity to try to pull herself back together and figure out her next step. From the outside, Cole Braden lives a charmed life. He’s a top orthopedic surgeon with a thriving practice, strong family ties, and friends he adores. But there’s a lonely spot inside Cole that no one can see. He has an enormous heart—and a painful past—but the desire to love and be loved is too strong to ignore. A chance encounter brings Leesa and Cole together, and the attraction is immediate and intense. But a relationship is the last thing Leesa needs—and the only thing Cole wants.

The Bradens are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series. Tempest Braden adores her family and her small hometown, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be confining. At almost thirty, having watched most of her siblings find true love, she’s anxious to experience her own happily ever after, and the move to Pleasant Hill, Maryland, is just the change she needs. When she rents a room from ruggedly handsome, and closed-off, artist Nash Morgan and his adorable son, Phillip, she thinks she’s found a little slice of heaven on the outskirts of town, where she can concentrate on building her business. That is, if she can ignore the undeniable heat between her and the sinfully hot single father. When Nash bought his farmette, he had one goal in mind—to provide a loving, stable home for his son. He never imagined he’d be raising Phillip alone, or renting out a room to keep their heads above water. Then again, he never imagined losing his brother, or spending two years sailing around the world with parents who seemed to forget one son was still alive. Sparks fly from the moment Tempest moves in, and her positive energy and inquisitive nature brings new life into Nash and Phillip’s quiet, confined world. For the first time in years, Nash wants to let a woman into his world, but while his loss made him stronger, that strength came at a price, leaving him walled off and wary of opening his heart again.

Der weltbekannte Bergsteiger und Naturfotograf Ty Braden hat nie an feste Beziehungen geglaubt, und schon gar nicht an eine Liebe, die ihm das Herz bis zum Hals schlagen lässt und ihm den Atem raubt. Doch das war vor seiner Reise nach Saint-Luc, wo er die lebhafte, starke und hinreißend schöne Aiyla Bell kennenlernte, Skilehrerin und ebenfalls Fotografin. Ihre Hoffnungen und Träume passen einfach perfekt zu seinen, sie liebt die Natur ebenso sehr wie er—und allein ihre Küsse reichen aus, um alles auf den Kopf zu stellen. Nach fünf magischen Tagen und vier süßen, gefühlvollen Nächten kann Aiyla sich schon nicht mehr vorstellen, ohne Ty zu sein. Dennoch: Als er sie bittet, ihn bei seinem nächsten Auftrag zu begleiten, lehnt sie ab. Immerhin steht er in dem Ruf, ein unverbesserlicher Frauenheld zu sein, und dafür will sie nicht alles riskieren, was sie sich mühevoll aufgebaut hat. Ein paar Monate später tritt das Schicksal auf den Plan. Bei einem fünftägigen Sportevent in den Bergen von Colorado begegnen sie sich wieder. Ihre tiefe, leidenschaftliche Verbindung ist intensiver denn je, und Ty ist wild entschlossen, Aiyla nicht noch einmal gehen zu lassen.
