Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renee Jones never imagined her little yoga practice would bring her fame and fortune, but that’s exactly what happened when one of her videos went viral. Now she runs one of the fastest growing yoga and apparel companies in the country. So, it makes absolutely no sense for her to up and move with her sister to a tiny island in Puget Sound, but that is precisely what she does when her Aunt leaves her a beautiful old home on Fireweed Island. As she quickly settles into island life, she begins to wonder why, with all of her business success, she still doesn’t feel satisfied. She spends every waking minute telling people how to achieve balance, and yet she’s busy spinning in circles most days and wondering what more there is to life. It isn’t until she finds a book of handwritten poetry on the beach that things start to take a turn. She knows she shouldn’t keep reading the journal, which is so full of beauty, but she can’t help herself. The poems are telling a story… like the words are speaking directly to her. When Renee sets out to find the rightful owner, she never expects the person to be the sexiest man alive. The moment Decker loses his journal, his world stops. He’s been writing in it since college, and it holds secrets he’s never told a soul. Granted, they’re coded in poetry, but he certainly doesn’t want them out in the public. Decker is so relieved when he gets a call from a perky woman claiming to have found it. He just never expects her to be the most beautiful woman in the world with a heart of gold. Next thing he knows, he's sharing a beautiful sunset on the beach with her wishing he didn’t have to leave. But his entire life is a world away, and he’s pretty certain she’d want no part of it.

Grace Henry thought she knew her husband, but when her life falls down around her, she knows she must stay strong and find out what secrets he left behind. Grace never thought she’d be a single mom at thirty-five, left to raise a teenage daughter who resents her and a job that asks far too much of her. But as summer quickly approaches, the one place that always soothed her soul growing up is calling her home again. The moment she and her daughter arrive at Buttercup Lake, her frantic world stops shaking them apart and a glimmer of hope resurfaces that a new normal can exist.

Jackson just never expects to discover the one woman who shattered his idea of love also happens to be wandering the streets of Buttercup Lake. It takes everything he has to look Grace in the eyes and see the woman she's become, not the girl he'd left behind.

Book excerpt: Maya Bailey planned nothing more than a summer trip to Buttercup Lake to visit her sister, niece, and grandma. She needed to get the bad taste out of her mouth from being stood up at the altar, or in this case, the courthouse. It doesn’t help that the man who broke her heart also owns half of the company she runs and has no intention of departing amicably. But when Maya rolls into the small town of Buttercup Lake, she sees how incredibly happy her sister and niece are in the small resort town on the lake, and she wonders if she’s been chasing after the wrong things all these years. It doesn’t help that the house on the lake she’s renting happens to have a really attentive landlord, who is the sexiest man in existence. Too bad she no longer trusts men. Cash Knox is used to tourists coming into town and trashing his lake house with a dreaded promise to return, but when his next guest shows up, he can barely remember the code to open the front door and trips over his tongue offering to promise Maya a good time, which wasn’t exactly what he meant. As he gets to know Maya, he realizes that maybe she’s not the only one who’s been prioritizing things in life incorrectly, but as they grow closer, Cash knows there’s something that could tear them apart, and he doesn’t know how to tell her the secret he never intended on keeping.

Book excerpt: Nina Bailey nearly crashed and burned upon arrival to Buttercup Lake. Still, from all outward appearances, she’s got her life together…Or at least as together as a single, bohemian artist nearing forty possibly could have. Oh, and she just moved in with her grandma. But what she hasn’t told her sisters is that her life is falling apart all around her, and Buttercup Lake is her last hope. And then she meets Beckett—the one man who dangles an opportunity in front of her she just can’t resist. Beckett Knox loves living anywhere other than a place no one has ever heard of in a state that regularly turns into the arctic multiple times each winter and where the residents tout cheese curds as a gourmet experience. Plus, everyone is always smiling and happy. It’s like a disease. He just doesn’t get it. So, when his parents invite him to come home to celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary, he reluctantly hops on a flight headed to the Midwest. But he hasn’t been home in over five years and never expects to see such drastic changes to his hometown. Or the woman who is annoyingly perky, gorgeous, and smarter than any woman he’s ever met. The problem is that Nina Bailey is about to become his sister-in-law and has no plans for leaving Buttercup Lake. Which is exactly why he promises himself nothing more than a fling because that’s all he ever does. It’s all he’s ever done. Until Nina.
