Pineville Romance Series

Who said high school love doesn't last?   Everyone. Or they should if they had any sense. Jane thought she'd seen the last of her no-good, heart-breaking boyfriend years ago when she went off to college...and he broke up with her with a greeting card. But now he's back, looking sexier than ever, and as much as she tells herself she's older and wiser, some feelings never burn out.   Chance McGovern is once bitten, twice shy. Getting over a rocky divorce, all he wants is a stable life for him and his son. Moving them to Pineville, Michigan and taking the assistant fire chief job was the first step to getting back to normal.   And then Jane stomps back into his life, his partner in organizing a charity fireman's ball. Leaving her was one of his biggest regrets. And from the fire in her eyes, she won't let him forget his teenaged screw-up.   But nothing is impossible in Pineville, not even second chances. With their small town rooting for them, Jane and Chance are fighting against more than just their hearts. But their relationship crashed and burned before. Is their love worth the risk?

Sadie was only supposed to be in Pineville, Michigan for the day, to take care of her grandmother's estate. Being sentenced to one week of community service decorating the town's jinxed Christmas tree isn't on her schedule.   Especially not when she's been sentenced to work alongside the man who suffered hate-at-first-sight with her.   Colt doesn't have time for some BS forced volunteer work, especially not with the nit-picking perfectionist who demolished his truck. Nothing he does is right according to her, from the way he strings the lights to how he hangs an ornament. The chick is driving him crazy with her totalitarian tree decorating rules.   Except…she's actually sort of sweet. She's got grit he can't help but admire. And her love for Christmas might have him humming a carol or two in the shower.   Their week of community service is starting to look a whole lot more like a present than a punishment. But Sadie never intended to stay in Pineville. And if she goes, so does any chance for a merry Christmas.   Formerly published as The Christmas Tree/Tangling Under the Christmas Tree.

He's had to fight for everything he has in life, and he doesn't much care if someone gets butthurt over his tactics. But there's one woman he's always hoped would have a different opinion of him.

And David Corelli always gets what he wants…   Formerly published as WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU?
