Pick Me


Book Description

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience. To have some fun. To get away from my overprotective brothers. To maybe, possibly encounter some lumberjacks in their natural habitat before moving on to the dream career that awaited me in the city. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types myself. Or to find a purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn't expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude, his snarky humor, and his stealth cuddles. Now I find myself making excuses to delay my big dreams... just for a little while. But Knox has unfulfilled dreams of his own. A career he walked away from. A big city life in Boston he left behind when he returned to his hometown to help his family. He claims he's not looking for anything permanent, and I've never been one to put down roots. My big life is waiting for me somewhere other than Little Pippin Hollow. So why does it feel like I've finally found the home of my heart? And how can I get Knox Sunday to... pick me?

Off Plan


Book Description

I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life. Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check. But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan. I didn't expect to find the resort falling apart. I didn't expect the people here to be so charming and crazy and welcoming and real. I didn't expect legends about shipwrecks and buried treasure. And I definitely didn't expect Fenn Reardon, the island's incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can't live without. Thirty-five's a bit late for me to realize I'm not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won't fit on Whispering Key, anyway-dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future. My head's telling me I have to leave Whispering Key... My heart's telling me there might be treasure on this island after all.
