Charlotte Shields thought she had put her heartbreaking wedding day behind her until she saw her former fiancé again. Even worse, their mutual attraction is just as strong as ever. Dr. Rick Tyler works hard to make amends. After all, he moved to the small town to give his son a second chance at a happy family life. But will he get a second chance with Charlotte in the bargain?

Wall Street hotshot Camille Parker is the last person rancher Jericho Jones expects to find on his doorstep. Ever since his late wife’s best friend interfered in his marriage, she’s persona non grata in Jericho’s book. When Camille reveals her life is in danger, he reluctantly opens his home to her. But he didn’t expect his heart would start to open too.

Camille has no choice but to seek help from her sworn enemy. And as she lets her guard down in close quarters, unexpected feelings surge for him. But what will happen if Camille’s life goes back to normal and the city girl no longer needs to shelter in the reticent rancher’s arms?

On the run after a bad breakup, wealthy city girl Arden Wexford ends up stranded in the small town of Sweet Briar. When hunky chef Brandon Danielson comes to her rescue, offering shelter and a waitressing job until her car is fixed, she reluctantly accepts. But, wanting Brandon to like her for herself, not for her money, she doesn’t mention her rich roots. The closer they get, the harder it is to reveal her secret.

Brandon came to Sweet Briar start over after his broken engagement. Things weren’t as they seemed with his ex-fiancée, and he got burned! His feelings for Arden are starting to become very real. But are his trust issues keeping him from getting closer, or is it something else?

The Waitress's Secret

In this second chance romance, a widowed single father unexpectedly falls for the woman involved in the car accident that killed his wife.

Chief of police Trent Knight had it all—a wonderful marriage and family—until an accident took his wife and he was left alone to raise his two beautiful daughters. Now the person he always blamed for his loss is back in town, and all bets are off. But soon his anger toward Carmen Shields gives way to a very different emotion—awareness of Carmen as a woman. On one hand, it feels like a betrayal of his late wife’s memory. On the other, it could be the widower’s second chance at happiness—and Carmen’s shot at redemption. Maybe Carmen can even make the small town her home again—with the love of a certain lawman. . . .
