The Hope Falls Chronicles Series Spotlight
Sweet Reunion
Justin Barnes and Amanda Jacobs haven’t seen each other for ten years. The last time they did? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. There was a huge misunderstanding, Justin left Hope Falls, and Amanda’s been missing the tall, hunky love of her life pretty much every day since then.
Now, to make matters even more complicated, her beloved Dad has passed away suddenly, which leaves her to grieve alone. Alone, that is, until the reappearance of her best friends from high school – Karina, Samantha, and Lauren. With the rest of the Fabulous Four at her side, Amanda knows she can get through this. And she’s going to need the support, too – because guess who else is back in Hope Falls?

Sweet Harmonies
Life as a hugely famous pop star isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and no one knows this better than Karina Blackstone – or Karina Black, as her record label insisted she shorten her name to. The more generic she could make herself, the better – that was their motto. Well, Karina’s done with that. Done with all the complicated mind games. She’s moving back to Hope Falls to concentrate on songwriting, spend time with her friends, get back in touch with her Washoe heritage. To simplify her life.
That’s the plan, anyway. Until the moment she lays eyes on Ryan Perkins, the gorgeous blonde grandson of the local cafe owner. His stunning good looks make her start to suspect that the “simple” life she has been planning may not be in the cards. When she hears him sing, she knows it for sure.

Sweet Victory
For ten years, Samantha Holt has thought about nothing but her career as a professional snowboarder. There hasn’t been room for anything else. She hasn’t had time for fun, for friends…certainly not for a boyfriend. At 27 years old, she’s never experienced much beyond a kiss when it comes to guys. She knows she’s ready to remedy that situation, but should she trust the sexy playboy who comes back into her life – especially considering that he’s the only guy she’s ever had feelings for?
Luke Reynolds has moved back to the Sierra Nevadas to be close to his family. After ten years of living on the road, first as a competitive snowboarder and then as ski pro, he knows his family needs him now. A big bonus to that arrangement, in his eyes, is the chance to spend time with Samantha Holt, the red-headed firebrand he’s been carrying a torch for for nearly a decade. Can he get her to let down her walls enough to see he truly cares?

Home Sweet Home
Coming soon
Lauren Harrison is used to being the top dog. A high-powered real estate agent dealing exclusively in high-end homes, she is at the top of a very competitive field. That’s why she doesn’t appreciate being talked down to by Ben Stevens, even if he does do it in the most maddeningly charming way ever! Lauren has had about enough of his nonsense, that’s for sure. She wishes he’d just pack up and go right back where he came from. But a small, niggling question in the back of her mind keeps asking her – if that’s all true, why is your stomach full of butterflies every time you see him? And why do you look forward to the days when you know that you will?
Ben Stevens grew up in circumstances that could most kindly be called “humble.” He hasn’t been handed a thing in life, he’s had to fight and scrape for every single bit of success he’s been granted. Not like Lauren Harrison. He recognizes her type, he saw women like her all the time growing up. Graceful, beautiful, elegant – it was easy to pull off when you had money. Lauren only sees him now as the successful and polished real estate reality show host that he has turned himself into. What would this regal beauty say if she knew the truth about where he came from?
