Ian can’t believe it when he figures out who’s messing with his family: a woman who has deceived—and seduced—him before. What’s her agenda? And why can’t he resist her? He’ll get the answers to all his questions, if Lydia agrees to his convenient marriage proposal. But once she’s in his arms again, will he let her go?

WISHES AT FIRST LIGHT
Heartache, TN

Starting over, one wish at a time…

Gabriella Chance has devoted her life to helping others overcome traumatic events. Now it’s her turn. Gabby’s come home to Heartache, Tennessee, to finally face her past. She finds solace in an unlikely ally, her high school crush, Clayton Travers. But while Clay wants to be Gabby’s refuge, he’s returned to Heartache to confront his own demons. With so many painful secrets in their past, can they hope to wish for a happy future…together?

Out previously in the series …

The books can be read as stand-alones, but as you get to know more characters in Heartache, it’s fun to look up their stories and get to know them. Each book has a subplot from a teen character’s point of view too, and all of those stories connect in some way.
