Sometimes real life is better than fiction

Small-town librarian Tess Bucek can't help it if her imagination runs wild. Fiction is simply more fun than reality. So when the mysterious Connor Reed wanders into her library she's sure he's up to no good. But it doesn't take long before she discovers Connor has come north to escape the notoriety that accompanied his involvement in a sensational trial.

Now that he's here, Connor sees that Tess will be the perfect person to help him in a matter he prefers to keep quiet–not easy to do in a town where everyone knows your business.

Welcome to Alouette, Michigan. It's not the end of the earth, but you can see it from here.

After a long absence, Rose Robbin is back in Alouette, primarily to help out her impossible-to-please mother, but also to keep tabs on the child she wasn't allowed to keep. Working hard, helping her mother and trying to steal glimpses of her son seem to be all that's in Wild Rose's future–until the day single father Evan Grant catches her in the act.
