Baby, oh, baby!

Talk about being broadsided! When Reed Sullivan is almost run off the road by a reckless driver, it's town newcomer Ruby O'Toole to the rescue. But the last thing Reed needs is a sexy distraction like Ruby, especially with the paternity of the infant left on the Sullivan brothers' doorstep still a mystery. For now, all he can offer Ruby is friendship...and maybe a kiss here or there.

Quirky, independent Ruby is making a fresh start. Men are strictly off limits–so maybe she and Reed should just be friends, despite their instant, combustible chemistry. But when a new wrinkle in the baby drama develops, will their "just friends" status stand?  Or is happily–ever–after on the table? 

Bringing peace to his best friend’s widow soon becomes a battle of emotions…

Soldier Cole Cavanaugh is on a mission: build a dream addition for the widow of his best friend, who sacrificed his life to save Cole. Right away, with April Avery and her twin girls, it’s like coming home — familiar, warm and then, with Avery’s impromptu kiss, too intimate. Suddenly, it feels like betrayal — but is this the second chance they need to heal?

She's Hiding Something…

Well, everyone is hiding something–but Mya Donohue's secret is knocking on the front door, in no uncertain terms. Mya is about to answer to the daughter she'd given birth to nineteen years ago, and Elle has news for her biological mother. Mya is not only a mom, but a grandmother, too. And Elle isn't sticking around for long. She can't.

Offering Mya their assistance are her best friends–the only ones who will dare tell her the truth in unmitigated terms; her mother–a woman still sowing her own share of wild oats; and Elle's father–a man of few words, but usually memorable ones, at that. (Note: Mya's current fiancé has conveniently decided to take a long walk.)
