WROBYN

They’re too busy for love, but Marella Lake has other ideas… 

BYRON

I can’t wait to get back to Manhattan. The only reason I’m in this middle-of-nowhere dump is to put my dead father’s affairs in order, sell his lakeside mansion, and go home. After all, I’ve got a penthouse to buy.

But when my idiot dog-slash-best-friend hurts himself playing in the lake and I end up rushing him to the only animal hospital for fifty miles, of course I find the one person I’ve already made a bad impression on: the gorgeous local veterinarian, Alina Hunt. 

Just my luck.

But to my surprise, I find her fascinating and intense, the hardest working person I’ve ever met. Her passion puts my New York friends to shame. Being with her is addictive… but I could never live here.

Could I?

ALINA 

No.

Author’s Note: This is a steamy small-town contemporary romance featuring a billionaire, enemies-to-lovers, a slow burn, a lakeside mansion, parent issues, restorative nature, a trio of gal pals, and a rascal dog determined to get into trouble.

She’s got big plans, but falling in love with a small-town farmer isn’t one of them… 

INDIGO 

For the first time in my life, I’m doing something for myself. The family money is gone and my stepmother’s putting pressure on me to marry a rich New Yorker. But after hanging out with Byron in Marella Lake, all I want is more of that clarifying Vermont air. So I’m planning a yoga retreat!

Have I ever planned anything? No. Do I know the first thing about small-town life? Nope.

It’ll be great!

Except that there’s this local dairy farmer who’s been glaring at me since the moment I arrived. His grandmother is awesome, but he seems to resent everything from my smile to my sundresses. I don’t know what his problem is, but when a twist of fate lands me at his farm, decorating his spare barn for my big event, he’s just going to have to tolerate my presence for a little while longer, the grump!

ANDREW

Hmmm…  

Author’s Note: This is a steamy contemporary romance with grumpy/sunshine, farmyard shenanigans, more rascal dogs, an evil stepmother, a messy but hopeful heroine, a big event, and lots of small town shenanigans.

It’s the second book in the Marella Lake Series but can be read on its own.

She loves projects, but he might be more than she bargained for… 

WHITNEY 

Oh boy does my new neighbor need help. The California tech nerd who just moved in down the beach is cute enough, but he desperately needs a makeover. Especially if I’m going to set him up with his crush, overworked town darling, single mom, and one of my best friends, Emma Day.

Marella Lake’s famous Fall Festival is a perfect time to get these two lovebirds together!

But helping him regain his confidence and update his wardrobe (unfitted slacks? Shudder) makes me realize that we have a lot in common. That his scars match mine. And I feel safe around him in a way I didn’t think was possible after The Incident. He’s awkward and sweet and surprisingly funny. But I have to remember that he’s in love with Emma, not me.

RON

Um, how do I break it to her…?

Author’s Note: This small-town contemporary romance features a fish out of water, a delicious glow-up, opposites attract, small-town festivals, a set-up plan gone wrong, a colossal misunderstanding, and overcoming past trauma… in some seriously steamy ways.

It’s the third book in the Marella Lake series but can be read on its own.

The last time they were together it was a disaster. 

But that was a long time ago… 

DAVID

So what if Alina doesn’t want me back in Marella Lake? It’s not like her only brother was going to miss her wedding. Besides, there are some things she doesn’t know, a problem I need to sort out or else she’s really never going to talk to me again.

But coming back means running into Renee, whose face has haunted me since I made the colossal mistake of breaking up with her after high school. Not a day has gone by that I didn’t regret that decision, and with everything that’s happened, I now deserve her even less.

The right thing to do would be to stay away, let old secrets stay buried, and get through my sister’s wedding without causing any more drama than necessary.

I’m just not sure if I can….

RENEE

Me neither.

Author’s Note: This small-town contemporary romance features a secret affair, a second chance, a military veteran, a snowy wedding, unlikely redemption, winter vibes in Vermont, some sweet high school flashbacks, and heartwarming family feels.

It’s the fourth book in the Marella Lake Series but can be read on its own.

The whole world knows his name… except her. 

JULIAN

Everyone keeps telling me that no one vacations in Marella Lake in March. It’s “mud season,” apparently, and a terrible time to visit, which is exactly why I’m here. No paparazzi. No fans. And no media breathing down my neck about the colossal mess I’ve made of my life.

If I can just grow my beard and lay low for a few weeks, maybe everything will blow over and I can go back to Hollywood and my career… if I even want to.

But I can’t resist the charming and gorgeous barista/cocktail waitress who seems to work everywhere in town. Especially when her son recognizes me—dammit!—and tries to set us up. It’s a bad idea, but I’m helpless against her smile, her no-nonsense attitude, and her awesome kid. It’s been a long damn time since anyone treated me like a normal person and it’s bringing up all kinds of questions about what I want to do next.

Including what happens when she finds out who I really am…

EMMA

I don’t have time for this.

Author’s Note: This steamy, slow burn contemporary romance features a secret identity, a celebrity romance, a kickass single mom, an aspirational bakery, lovable nerds, and getting frosting in all kinds of places.

It’s the fifth book in the Marella Lake Series but can be read on its own.

She’s running from her past, but can he protect her future? 

TANNER

Marella Lake sounds like paradise, right? But all those happy stories have one thing in common: good people. They don’t apply to people like me, people with a history, people with labels that don’t wash off. People with a darkness inside them. Ever since that one night I’ll never live down—and don’t deserve to—I’ve lived on the outskirts of town, with nothing but my horses and dogs for company.

Until Dara showed up.

Barefoot and freezing in the middle of the damn boondocks, she sparks all my worst instincts. I want to protect her, but I don’t know what she’s running from. I want to keep her safe, but what if I’m the danger? She’s tough, no doubt about it. But can she handle the things I am, the things I’ve done? And the things I could do again?

DARA

He has no idea.

Author’s Note: This steamy contemporary romance features a runaway mafia bride escaping her dark past and even darker future, a northeastern cowboy with his own ghosts who will do anything to protect her, a small town rallying to keep them together, a decommissioned military tank, and some very sexy horseback riding. 

It’s the sixth book in the Marella Lake Series but can be read on its own.
