      A class reunion. An unrequited love. And the small-town roots that never let go of the heart. When big-city accountant Wynne Terry dreamed of her future, it looked like the one she's living. Then an invitation to her high school reunion lands in her mailbox and curiosity beckons her to return for the first time in fifteen years. It has nothing to do with seeing her childhood best friend who unwittingly stole her heart. At least, that's what Wynne tells herself. Chase Ford's regrets come back to haunt him when Wynne walks into his life again. Marrying the first girl who turned his head in high school was mistake number one. Turning his back on Wynne when she needed him most was another. If it's forgiveness he's looking for, Wynne may give it to him. But raising his daughter and keeping the ever-elusive Wynne from turning his loveless life upside down take precedence over pleasing his conscience. When Wynne discovers there's more to Chase's story than she bargained for, she wonders if her heart can stand being broken again. But maybe a once-in-a-lifetime love is worth the risk. Revisit the Blueberry Point series and find out why readers love these sweet, light-hearted romances.

      One stolen kiss. A little Christmas magic. And the snowy inn where love stands a chance. Interior designer Layla Dean can't believe her good fortune at snagging the holiday decorating gig at Blueberry Point Lodge. And even though her fledgling business has a growing list of happy clients, her personal life isn't filled with the same Christmas magic. She needs a man in her life like she does coal in her stocking. But tell that to Brant Johnsson. Brant is known as the Twin Cities' Master of Lights and Luminaria for good reason. His company oversees most of the downtown's outdoor displays every season. But when a professional snag sends him reeling, he's ready to quit the business. Until he runs into Layla again. Forgetting their awkward mistletoe kiss last year just isn't possible, but she doesn't share the pleasant memory. Now that they're decking the halls together for the newly opened inn's first Christmas, Brant hopes for a replay of their first encounter. And something more. When a misdirected text message pairs them together for a fundraising event, Brant and Layla find they have more in common than just a flare for holiday decorating and one mistaken kiss. If Layla can overcome her sour first impression, Brant might get his very merry second chance.
