    About this series

    Falling in love with his best friend’s sister wasn’t part of the plan.


    Mason Adler has been in love with Nate’s sister since they were kids. He thought he’d finally put those feelings behind him until a heartbroken Natasha shows up at their apartment in the middle of the night, needing a place to stay. After she moves in, Mason puts his feelings aside to give her whatever she needs.

    Natasha Garin’s life is in disarray. After she leaves her cheating boyfriend, she’s forced to move in with her twin brother Nate and his best friend Mason. Living with two bachelors isn’t easy, especially when long-buried feelings for her brother’s best friend start to surface. Mason shouldn’t be the guy she wants; they’re friends and that’s it. To her dismay, fighting those feelings gets harder with every passing day.

    In the fourth book of the Loves of Lakeside series, two friends discover long-buried feelings are more complicated than they ever could have imagined—fighting them might not be worth the battle.

      Serena Chasey has nowhere left to go; she’s run out of places to hide. She takes her father’s advice and heads for Montana to stay at her family’s lake house on Flathead Lake, the last place anyone would look for her. She’s desperate to start over, desperate to feel normal after the nightmare she’s lived for the last three years. Evan “Van” Brooks spent the last three years drowning in guilt, swallowed up by a past he can’t get away from, living in isolation in the tiny town of Lakeside, Montana. He wants to be left alone to wallow in his grief. The barrier he built around himself is impenetrable; no one gets in except his best friend and business partner Lincoln and his dog, Soldier. Everything was fine until Serena Chasey moved into the condo across the way and turned his life upside down.

      Love has much to teach us! Jacob Moore was more than ready to start over. Moving back to Lakeside meant a clean slate. The town’s private university was thrilled to have him, and he couldn’t wait to teach his new classes. He hadn’t expected there to be a new girl, not so soon, but something about Avery Collins made him stand up and pay attention. In more ways than one. Avery Collins wasn’t interested in a relationship; she had one year left of college and she planned to buckle down and do it right. She was determined to stay on the straight and narrow. Falling for her professor wasn’t part of the plan. It isn’t long before both Jacob and Avery are in too deep to turn back. When their lives take a turn toward the crazy and unexplained, both Avery and Jacob wonder if they’ve made a terrible mistake.

      One night turns into two weeks when their worlds unexpectedly collide. Cecily Devereaux knows better than anyone that being the daughter of a billionaire can make it hard to trust people. Every relationship she’s ever been in turned out to be nothing more than an attempt to get her father’s money, and after a failed engagement, she vows to stay away from commitment. Shifting her focus to enjoying herself, she finds satisfaction in one night stands, defying her father’s demands, and spending time in her adopted hometown of Lakeside, Montana. Cecily doesn't need anything else. Until Lincoln Dunn strolls into her life. With no business to run, no woman in his life, and nothing tying him down, Lincoln Dunn is at a crossroads. He’s free to do whatever he wants in New York City and that is exactly what he is doing. Uninterested in relationships, he runs through women with no regrets. Tourist Cecily Devereaux is just supposed to be one of those women … until he comes to Lakeside and finds her again. In the third installment to the Loves of Lakeside series, two complicated people who aren’t looking for love fall into a sexy, steamy relationship. When feelings neither of them want to face come to the surface, which one of them will admit their feelings first?
