About Chasing Pebbles:

Oliver might only get one summer, but he’s determined to make it memorable.
Frida left her hometown a year ago. When she suddenly finds herself without a place to stay for the summer, she is forced to go back. A stubborn, foolish part of her wants to show them that she can’t be broken. She’ll hold on to her anger, push the nostalgia away even if the scent of seawater and beach-roses is making it difficult.

Ever since Frida left, Oliver’s life has been a little lonelier and a little greyer, despite him staying busy to distract himself. When he realises that Frida, his favourite human, the one person who was always up for his shenanigans is coming home, he knows he has to make it right.
She’s hurting, and so much is left unsaid.

Frida is afraid to trust. Oliver can’t let go of his guilt.
Neither of them is prepared for how everything can feel the same and yet so, so different.

Chasing Pebbles takes place in Denmark; it’s a new adult, slow burn, friends to lovers romance with a nerdy, talkative hero and a stubborn, compassionate heroine.
Chasing Pebbles is book one in The Without Filter Series and it can be read as a standalone.

Butterfly Sisters by Jenny Hale

Butterfly Sisters by Jenny Hale

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Beach House, with over a million copies of her books sold, comes a story about family bonds, second chances, and finding out who we really are. Butterfly Sisters is the perfect escape for fans of Susan Wiggs, RaeAnne Thayne, and Susan Mallery.

“When emerging into the world, a butterfly needs the struggle to push the fluid from its body into its wings. So essentially, without the struggle, it never flies.”

About to land her biggest deal yet, Leigh Henderson is on her game. Nothing can get in her way. Except Rebecca Mayer, who’d sashayed in a few weeks ago with a former client list that would fill the entire hallway to Leigh’s office. When her boss unexpectedly offers the deal to Rebecca and tells Leigh he’s letting her go, Leigh finds herself without a job.

But that’s the least of her worries.

Her mother has some news that will change everything. She’s asked Leigh and her sister Meredith to meet her at the family cabin on Old Hickory Lake. Not only has Leigh been unable to track down her sister for years, but going back to the cabin would mean dealing with the loss of her beloved grandmother and also chance running into her old flame Colton Harris, the one love she’s never been able to completely let go of.

Will confronting her grief, speaking to her estranged sister, and forcing herself to face the love she’d left behind help Leigh to learn who she really is?

A heartwarming story that will have you laughing, crying, and rushing to those you hold dear. If you loved the Christmas movies based on Jenny’s books and are looking for more feel-good, small-town romance, look no further!

A GIRL, A GUY AND A BIG FAT LIE by Debby Conrad

A GIRL, A GUY AND A BIG FAT LIE by Debby Conrad

He can’t decide if he’s lucky or doomed . . .

Rowan Kavanagh bites off more than he can chew when he takes over his dying father’s ski resort. He had no idea how much work was needed to make the place a success. It’s a money pit for sure and he soon finds himself turned upside down financially. What he needs is a little more time and lots of money, not some tight-ass banker who keeps threatening him with foreclosure. What that woman needs is to get laid. That should not only loosen her up but put a smile on her face as well.

Emma Fischer doesn’t have time for Rowan’s games, lies, broken promises or his sexy dimples and rippling muscles. She takes her job seriously, which is why she was named VP of her grandfather’s bank. While Abel Fischer is a softie and has been known to make some bad investments, including the loan he made to Rowan, she is all business and nothing like him. She is not about to let the man get away with not making his payments on time. Someone needs to teach him a lesson. And she’s just the man—excuse me, woman—for the job.

Okay, so maybe she was being a little hard on Rowan. She was having a bad day. It was her birthday, for God’s sake, and her fiancé ended their engagement that morning. All because she had changed her mind about not wanting children. She was thirty-five, and if ever it was time to give motherhood a chance, it was now. But he didn’t agree.

Rowan had a bad week. Between half his crew quitting on him because their paychecks bounced and chasing off Callie Stevenson, the teenage runaway that has been sleeping in his storage building, the last thing he needs is his banker paying him a visit with that holier-than-thou attitude of hers. The lady, if she was one, needed to be knocked down a peg or two. But he certainly didn’t mean to hit her with a two-by-four. That was an accident. And the minute she woke he would tell her so. He didn’t need her accusing him of deliberately hurting her, or worse, trying to kill her. The resort couldn’t handle that kind of publicity. Not good for business.

But when Emma awakes after the accident, she has no memory. Nada. She can’t remember who she is, let alone him or why they were arguing. Although Callie tells her he was trying to kill her. Rowan wants to wring the kid’s neck but Emma is having no part of that. In fact, she is somehow convinced Callie is her daughter. And not only her daughter but his as well.

Whoa! Rowan does everything in his power to convince her otherwise, but she doesn’t believe him. She has this strange notion about them being a family. Hell, he barely knows them. And yet both females are soon living in his house and redirecting his life. Call him a pushover because that seems to be exactly what he is. Still, with everything that has been going on he can’t help but wonder with the possibility of Emma’s memory returning soon, will their fake family last or will Emma end up hating Rowan?

A Girl, a Guy and a Big Fat Lie is the 1st book in the Mulberry Lake series and it’s FREE!

Native New Yorker and author Verona Scott is battling heartbreak, both personally and professionally. Coming off a disastrous split with her ex, she’s struggling for inspiration to write her next book. And she’s lost without her Aunt Theoni.

Hoping for a fresh start and to avoid the glittering holiday completely, she’s planned a Valentine’s detox: a luxurious trip alone to the historic Courtington Castle hotel, a grand retreat, tucked into a picturesque valley in the Adirondacks, in the adorably quaint town of Camelot Creek.

But escaping the heart-shaped balloons and red roses isn’t as easy as she thought.

This won’t be the restful retreat she’d imagined. Instead, she’s just walked into one of the biggest matchmaking events of the year. Not to mention, dating coach and celebrity Troy Turner is heading the whole thing up, and he’s on a mission to include Verona in the festivities. Will Troy change Verona’s mind about the most romantic day of the year?

As the holiday celebrations begin to creep across Verona’s doorstep, an unexpected visitor checks into the castle, stirring up the past.

No matter what, for Verona, Valentine’s Day is the day where everything changes.

A heartwarming romance that will whisk you away to a magical winter wonderland and have you reaching for the hot cocoa and box of chocolates long after the holidays.
