    About this series

    Snow for Christmas in Magnolia Beach? What could be better? This heartwarming holiday tale is a reminder that the true spirit of Christmas is about love, family, and the power of second chances.

    In the charming small town of Magnolia Beach, Ryan Forrester stumbles upon a teenage runaway in need of help. As Ryan helps Mia figure out what makes a family and what it means to belong, he discovers a long-lost sense of purpose and hope. Meanwhile, shy but determined Kasey, a new resident in town, falls even harder for Ryan as she watches him open his heart to Mia. Everyone in town is talking about the once in a century approaching snowstorm. There might actually be a white Christmas here in Magnolia Beach. And if that weren’t enough, a developer is sniffing around town, threatening to tear down several shops and change Magnolia Beach forever.

    As they all learn the true meaning of family and finding love in the most unexpected places, they discover that sometimes the greatest gifts are the ones you least expect in this heartwarming holiday tale.

      Never Let Them See You Cry. Rose Collier refused to let them see her crumble as she sprinted across the lobby, the big white dress billowing out of the convertible as she fled. In a daze, she left the city behind, only stopping for necessities, until she found herself staring at the ocean, inhaling deep lungfuls of clean salty sea air. The vintage car sputtered and died as she coasted into Magnolia Beach. Alex Parrish had it all. Money, women, model looks, and fast cars. Until the accident. Then his uncle stole his trust fund. Now this billionaire is broke, disfigured, and ill-tempered, not to mention he doesn’t have a single employable skill. Sparks Fly. Certain she’s in no danger of falling for another entitled rich guy, Rose takes a position cleaning for the town hermit. She needs time to heal, to figure out what comes next. Alex doesn’t know who he is without his money and his looks, but going by the new housekeeper’s reaction, he’ll never set foot in public again. He’s fired every other housekeeper in three towns so he’s stuck with the beguiling Rose. Love Blooms. As Alex spends more and more time with Rose, he falls head over heels in love for the first time in his miserable life. Too bad she’s made it clear there could never be anything between them other than friendship. Run away to Magnolia Beach and curl up with these light-hearted romances that will leave you with a smile.
