The single dad next door

Jessica Keller

Love Comes Home All Maggie West has ever wanted is a family to call her own. But her new neighbor, single dad Kellen Ashby, is definitely not the man to make that dream come true. His daughters are sweet and silly, the kind of kids Maggie used to imagine having herself. But Kellen has just inherited the inn Maggie manages--her former family home--and the two butt heads at almost every turn. He's handsome, and clearly a devoted father, but with all the changes taking place, Maggie worries she may soon be jobless, homeless or both. At war with her emotions, Maggie will have to decide what truly matters--heart or home.

Drawn back into his life is Sheriff Kara Conway, his best friend's girl for a long as he can remember - a girl who always held a special place in Sax's heart. But as he cautiously reconnects with Kara and bonds with her young son, another long-held secret in Shelter Bay threatens their second chance at a forever-after love.

Rhonda Pollero

"Finley's finally working on criminal cases at her law firm, but she's still no closer to solving the dilemma of her love life. On the one hand is Tony, successful partner in the firm--but also her boss. On the other, bad-boy investigator Liam, who won't commit but won't stay away, either. Into the mix add Tony's adoring 13-year-old daughter, who's got a serious case of hero-worship for Finley and her bargain-hunting ways, and Liam's too-perfect ex-wife, and Finley's hope of romance seems to be fading fast. (Meanwhile, Finley's mother is setting her up on blind dates with every rich, boring jerk in Florida.) When Liam appears on her doorstep one night with a bullet in his shoulder, he's forced to tell Finley something he's never shared before--the reason he's no longer a detective on the force. Turns out he was framed for the shooting of a 14-year-old kid in a drug bust...although he was never charged, his suspected involvement was too hot for the police, who asked him to resign. Now the same gun that supposedly killed the kid has turned up as the weapon that murdered Liam's ex-partner, and he's determined to clear his name once and for all. Finley and her friends are on the case, but before she knows it, she's getting anonymous threats and has to go underground herself. Thank god she's still got internet access!! Not only can she keep up with her beloved eBay auctions, but her keen fashionista eyes can see that some figures close to the case are living a little too well for their pay grades. Can she save herself, clear Liam, and find true love? If anyone can, it's Finley"--
