He's a man with a mission
She's a woman with a secret
Hank Whitcomb is back in Maple Hill, Massachusetts, the tiny town he grew up in but fled almost twenty years earlier for fame and fortune. And he's determined to make a new life for himself. It doesn't take long before he discovers that he wants his old high school flame, Jackie Bourgeois, to be part of it–and in the deepest way possible: love, commitment, family.
Until, that is, Hank happens to learn the real reason Jackie refused to come with him all those years ago…
Still, nothing can keep Hank and Jackie from being together again–as they quickly find out!
Book 2
LIVE WELL.
LAUGH OFTEN.
LOVE MUCH.
Although Mariah Mercer designs and sells plaques with her favorite motto, she's having a hard time following it herself. At least, the LOVE MUCH part. In fact, she's given up on loving at all after a painful divorce. No, her quiet life as a dorm mother at the local boarding school in Maple Hill, Massachusetts, is enough for her. And her relationships with the children there give her all the emotional satisfaction she needs.
No stranger to rejection, Cameron Trent has found a haven in the people and town of Maple Hill. He'd rather not take risks in the love department, either.
So imagine his surprise–not to mention Mariah's–at what pops out of his mouth during a local spring fair. A message that changes their lives forever.
Book 3
Sometimes a girl needs a miracle...
Beazie Deadham is alone and on the run. She witnessed the murder of her boss in an underground parking lot in Boston, and accepted an incriminating tape from him, which he told her to deliver to "Evan" in Maple Hill. Now the perpetrators of the crime are after her as well as the tape.
This man has one!
Evan Braga has moved to quiet Maple Hill, Massachusetts, to escape his past as a big-city cop. He's also trying to sort out the guilt he feels over his brother's death. He's not looking for all the trouble that gorgeous redhead Beazie Deadham drops on his doorstep. Especially once he discovers that Beazie was mixed up with his brother, and his brother might have been mixed up with the tape Beazie's trying so hard to unload.
But when the Boston thugs track Beazie down, Evan-and his family, who show up unexpectedly at Christmas-would go to the ends of the earth to protect her!

Gideon and Prue Hale are still married–but try telling that to Prue. Even though no papers have been signed, as far as Prue's concerned it's over. She can never forgive Gideon's betrayal.
When Gideon comes to Maple Hill with an offer to help get her fledgling clothing design company some publicity, Prue has trouble turning him down. Especially when Gideon is being so nice.

But as her sister's Christmas wedding draws near, she's forced to face Matt again…eighteen months after he walked away.
Matt knows he had to leave. The secret he carried would devastate Rosie. But now someone is out to kill his wife, and Matt wonders if it's time to reveal all. He can't bring back the people she loves, but maybe he can give her the gift of hope…and love's ability to heal.
