    About this series

    It’s the person she least expected who provides a much-needed tune up of her life...

    For Dr. Irene Johnson-Moore perception is everything. After living most of her life behind facades built from other people’s expectations, she’s ready for a change. At least that’s what she tells herself. But old habits die hard. And when her car breaks down, forcing her to deal with the town mechanic—a woman whose bluntness always irked Irene—her resolve is instantly put to the test.

    Remi Martin prides herself on being unapologetically honest. Brutally so at times. No good ever came from pretending to be someone or something she’s not.

    When she responds to a call from a stranded motorist, she never imagined she’d be towing the self-proclaimed “town princess” into her world. Irene Johnson embodies everything Remi tries to avoid, yet she can’t seem to shake her one-time adversary.

    However, the more time they spend together, the more feelings begin to idle under the surface. But before their relationship can rev to life, they must release their preconceived notions or things could come to a screeching halt.

      Her return could be a second chance to repair a first love... Forty-three and jobless, Cynthia Marshall finds herself in the last place she'd expected, back home on Madison Island, GA. Her small hometown holds the ghosts of choices past. From the large Victorian she inherited from her beloved aunt, to unresolved family issues, and the boy turned man she left behind over two decades ago. Starting a new career is hard enough but having to do so side by side with a person whose heart she broke is something she never accounted for. Marcel Lewis is the owner of the only construction company on the island and is the key to making Cynthia's new dream a reality. He never quite got over the abrupt departure of the first woman he ever loved. Her return means he can finally get answers to the whys and what-ifs that have plagued him. Years have passed, feelings have remained, but some wounds have yet to heal. The more time they spend together, the walls of the old house aren't the only ones tumbling down. But they can't construct a future without answering for decisions of the past. CONTENT WARNING This story contains mentions of grief, cancer, sickness, and abortion. While none of it goes into great detail, it may still be upsetting to some readers.

      A fire claims her bakery, but the young special investigator sent to determine the cause just might scorch through the barriers around her heart… Regina Parker has four loves: her family, friends, business, and her community. A serious relationship hasn’t been on her radar since she became a widow. Life is exactly how she wants until it all goes up in smoke. Literally. The attractive outsider called in to help is a distraction she doesn’t need. Firefighter Alec Hodge is eager to spread his wings and the assignment in Madison Island, GA gives him the chance. A suspicious blaze may have brought him to the small town, but enigmatic Regina keeps him coming back. Sparks fly. Passions ignite. But when revelations hit like a backdraft, the newly kindled relationship could be snuffed out before it really has a chance to burn.

      Loved Every bit of this book !! From beginning to end !!
    • 5/5
      Really good book, written. Beautiful storytelling, very easy to read.
    • 5/5
      I love the story in its entirety. However, I didn’t care for Irene’s bastard of a husband at all. More importantly, the rest of the book/storylines were quite enjoyable and very funny.
    • 5/5
      This was a relatable tale of enemies to lovers. I appreciated the flow of the story and each voice was distinctive from the other. I wish there were more women loving women stories in the author’s portfolio.
    • 5/5
      LOVED! meka james is brilliant. this book got me out of my reading slump. irene and remi’s slow burn/frenemies to lovers is just the plot that i needed!
