Book Description

THE LAST GOODBYE Widower Dominic Dunn isn’t sure what to think of his wife’s pre-planned trip for him a year after her death. It’s her effort to force him from his work desk to the coast and the peacefulness she’d found at the Carolina Cove Inn. Innkeeper Ireland Cohen is a single mom with an impressionable son, and after the kid gets himself into trouble, Dominic offers to lend a hand. It’s the least he can do when Ireland was such a good friend to his wife after her diagnosis. As the hot summer days at the beach turn into breezy evenings, Ireland and Dominic find their shared memories and friendship turning into more. They’re drawn to each other, fighting an attraction neither of them want because of their pasts. He’s only visiting, and Ireland has a strict rule about dating tourists. But as his trip draws to a close, they both wonder—is this their last goodbye? LATTES AND LULLABYES Cooper Bale earned a name for himself as a software engineer and, until a few months ago, lived a life men dream of—until that life exploded with a phone call. Now Cooper struggles to settle into Carolina Cove as a single parent and finds himself envious of his dog when Rocco’s escapes prove to be the canine’s way of visiting the local coffee shop to get some much needed peace. Coming from a close-knit military family, London Cohen learned at an early age to love fast because time is short. People come and go, but each is special. She feels instant attraction when meeting Rocco’s owner, but she doesn’t understand Cooper’s mile-high barriers when it comes to certain things—like the kids in his care or his estranged father, who happens to be one of her favorite customers. London finds herself drawn into the crossfire between Cooper and his family, but can she help them find peace before it’s too late? MAP OF DREAMS Carolina Cohen dreams of traveling the world. She works a multitude of jobs during Carolina Cove’s tourist season to travel the winter months until her cash runs out. Snagging her dream job as an international house sitter to a company catering to the elite would enable her to do so much more. Too bad it’s as likely as winning the lottery. Silas Fletcher is a single dad of an eight-year-old genius daughter who doesn’t have time for games. He works long hours and does all he can to be the dad his daughter deserves.

Still, when he’s in desperate need of childcare, Carolina comes through for him and the animosity felt after a disastrous first meeting ends up turning into something more. Much more. But as school begins and the tourist season draws to a close, Carolina must choose. Does she stay with the sexy, single dad and precocious kid who’ve stolen her heart—or follow her map of dreams?
