Two Hearts, One Tour Bus. Is There Room Enough For Love? Suddenly jobless, Darcy Conti becomes a tour guide for Sturgeon Widows Tours, a quirky family-run business on the shores of Lake Superior. As she settles into her new role narrating local history excursions, she fights an undeniable attraction to the one man she definitely can't fall for—the owner's son. Fresh from a relationship gone sour, Sean Stetman plans to avoid dating—and his job at his parents' tour company—for the foreseeable future. He wants nothing more than time to fish, hike, and work on his cabin. But when the tour driver quits, he is suddenly back on board, reluctantly shuttling Darcy and the tour guests along the North Shore. Together, Darcy and Sean survive unruly tourists, meddling mothers, and even an unscrupulous developer looking to give the Stetmans' tour company some fierce competition. Will their time on the tour bus drive them both crazy, or are they on the road to forever? Love Like Water is a sweet, small-town romance with characters that feel like friends, plenty of laughs, and a charming happily ever after.

After a family crisis pulls Bethany away from Nate, their relationship seems to be headed for the back burner.

- Love Like Air: Hearts in Hendricks
A divorced bakery owner. The meddlesome company wanting to steal her land. And the widowed father with the power to heal her heart⏤and his. Running a bakery and staying one step ahead of a mining company determined to buy her family homestead keep Debi Thomas busy in the lakeshore town of Hendricks. Since her ex-husband ruined her desire for romance, she's more content selling donuts than dating anyway. Widower Mick Graham has long admired effervescent Debi, and not just for her baking talents. But keeping his preteen daughter out of the principal's office and his mother-in-law out of his hair have made dating a low priority. When an accident thrusts Mick and Debi together, she wonders if Mick is the one to heal her heart. However, trouble brews for their budding romance when she discovers Mick might be behind the mine president's lucrative offer for her property, an offer almost too good to refuse. Can Mick make her a better one—a second chance at love?

Stealing Her Heart Was Not In His Job Description Romance is the last thing on Carmen Navarro's mind. Up to her neck in student debt, she needs a teaching job, and she needs one fast. As if that wasn't stressful enough, she's also overseeing her parents' renovation project—which would be easier if the carpenter on the job had a little more work ethic and a lot less swagger. She has no time for his flirty banter and affable charm. So why can't she get him out of her head? Matt Stetman is a catch. Everyone in Hendricks knows he'd give the shirt off his back to help a friend in need. He's been told a time or two that he's pretty delightful to be around too. But for some reason, the enigmatic Carmen seems immune to his charms. Just as Matt begins to make headway—with the project and with Carmen—a secret from his past threatens to ruin everything. Can Carmen find the courage to trust Matt and take a shot at love? Or is the foundation of their relationship now broken beyond repair?
