Harland Creek series

Olivia McCade prefers flowers to people. Other than the occasional thorn poke, she figures plants are far less likely to hurt her. It was that realization that caused her to leave her nursing career behind and settle into the calming aromas of her flower shop. The plan worked great...until a huge wedding contract put her face-to-face with the man who broke her heart and shattered her dreams.  Needing someone at her side to help her through this, Olivia turns to Sam Hunter. He’s been a constant reassuring presence in her life, someone who will never let her down or hurt her.  But Sam has a secret all his own. For years he’s hidden his true feelings for Olivia. Now, as she looks to him for comfort, Sam must find a way to juggle her fragile heart and his own stirring emotions.

Growing up in Harland Creek, Gabriela Jackson was the girl all the guys wanted and all the girls wanted to be. Until one tragic night that rocks the entire town and leaves her the object of scorn. Unable to stay in a place where the entire town hates her, she signs a modeling contract with an elite New York agency just to get away. She soon discovered the darker side of beauty. After refusing to compromise her morals, she’s labeled as difficult and blackballed in the industry. With nowhere else to turn, she returns to Harland Creek. But her homecoming is far from warm.  Judgmental stares. Incessant gossip behind her back. Hurtful preconceived notions. Now, more than ever, Gabriela is determined to prove only she can define who she is as a person.  Colin Bennet left his scandal-riddled family in England to forge his own respectable path in life. The small-town charm of Harland Creek seemed the perfect place to open a book store and focus on penning his first novel. Turns out that second part would be far easier if American women weren’t falling all over him simply because of his accent.  But there is one who seems uninterested in his worldly charms. An intoxicating beauty with razor-sharp wit, striking intelligence, and a damaged reputation.  But are they willing to risk it all for a chance at true happiness?
