Falling Into Us By Denise Hunter
Gabby Donaldson’s late mother left her with one final task: deliver a letter to her estranged mother. Once Gabby fulfills her mom’s deathbed promise, she’ll leave behind the grandmother she never knew and return to her carefully constructed life in the city. With a fulfilling career as a jewelry designer, she’s convinced she doesn’t need roots to feel whole.
But locating Rosemary proves more complicated than expected. And when journalist–and single dad–Mason Morrison offers help in exchange for telling her story, Gabby agrees. The arrangement seems simple enough: he gets the human-interest piece that could be his big break, and she gets to fulfill her mother’s final wish.
What neither anticipates is how quickly professional boundaries blur. As Gabby is drawn into Mason’s world–and the life he’s built with his precocious twelve-year-old daughter–Gibson begins to feel less like a stopover and more like home.
Yet the past has a way of complicating the present. If Gabby uncovers the truth about her family, will it free her to move forward–or make leaving impossible? And when the story is finally written, will she return to the life she planned . . . or risk falling into one she never saw coming?
Lavender Hill By Aurora Rose Reynolds
Genevieve Fenwick has her life together—until her fiancé’s betrayal tears their future apart. Now, heartbroken and unsure of what’s next, she looks for comfort where it all began: Gooseberry Ridge, the quaint and still-welcoming hometown she left behind.
Genevieve’s heartache is soon displaced by family drama, eccentric neighbors, and a loveable search and rescue dog. Not to mention scandalous thoughts about deputy sheriff Wyatt Foster. But while Wyatt is ruggedly handsome, loyal, and protective (everything her fiancé wasn’t), Genevieve’s still hurting. No amount of chemistry can change that.
And yet, as her meddling, matchmaking mother and tight-knit Montana home keep pushing her and Wyatt together, Genevieve realizes there’s more than just a spark there. The charge burns brighter with every run-in, every word, every layer exposing the softness beneath his strength.
Wyatt has something Genevieve wants. Something she needs. And though her best-laid plans lie in ruins, he might be the best shot she’s ever taken.
Christmas In The President Suite By Judith Keim
Emily “Emmie” Withers is given a surprise gift from her deceased husband. It’s a ten-day stay in the Presidential Suite of The Beach House Hotel, presumably for her and their two daughters. But much has happened since his death, so Emmie goes to the hotel by herself, wanting to follow through on her husband’s generous gift. Knowing she’s feeling a bit lonely, Ann and Rhonda suggest that Emmie keeps busy by helping them with kids’ activities, including acting as Mrs. Claus to Ted McAllister, a handsome widower who’s agreed to be Santa. One thing is for sure, there’s no better place than The Beach House Hotel for family love.
Win Me Back By Camilla Isley
This season, love deserves a comeback story.
Dr. Lila Callaway excels at putting broken things back together. But she could never mend her heart after Asher Wayne, the boy who promised her forever, chose football over their relationship. Years later, she runs the physical therapy department at Blue Crescent Medical Center, keeping her life orderly, safe, and free of infuriatingly charming athletes.
Until a severe ankle injury sidelines the NFL superstar. He belongs in world-class facilities, not a small-town clinic. But Ash will only let Lila oversee his rehabilitation, pushing all her buttons and looking far too handsome during their grueling daily sessions.
Lila establishes strict boundaries: no personal questions, no reminiscing, and absolutely no acknowledging the explosive chemistry still burning between them. Ash agrees to her terms, yet every intense exercise and lingering glance chips away at her ironclad defenses. He claims he returned for his recovery, but his relentless focus remains on her, making his temporary homecoming feel like a play for keeps.
Thirteen years apart, ten weeks of forced proximity, will it be enough for a second chance at first love?
