A moving second-chance romance where hope can turn history into a footnote. Sasha Covey needs a rewrite. Or a really big eraser. Her past doesn’t belong in the life she’s trying to rebuild. Her future—and her recovery—depend on a fresh start. Moving to Colebury seems like the perfect test until Penley Brooks waltzes into the Busy Bean. The handsome veterinarian is just as charming as when she fell for him a decade ago. Memories come flooding back, and their connection is as potent as ever. Trouble is, Sasha has good reason to keep her distance. Her recovery is still new, and the single dad has wounds of his own. After years of being an afterthought, Penley’s goals are finally within reach. As much as she aches to reconnect, Sasha won’t stand in the way of his dreams. Somehow, that all melts away whenever she’s with Penley. Together, dreaming is a little easier. But dreams don’t always survive in the real world. Not when the past comes knocking. *** Footnote is a stand-alone novel in the Busy Bean series of Sarina Bowen's World of True North! Stop in for coffee and romance.

The World of True North

Footnote

Two lost, wandering souls and the chance encounter that could rewrite their future. After a devastating heartbreak, Denton Bell is looking for a fresh start. Again. He vows to live as a reclusive carpenter on his new property by the Caribou River. Unable to ignore his caretaking and social nature, he joins the volunteer fire crew. His plans of solitude begin to crumble when he meets Maëlle, a local who doesn’t quite fit in. It’s a rough year for Maëlle Haubois. She’s lost her beloved grandmother and her home. The last thing she needs? A surprise pregnancy. Isolated and shunned because of her past and her family’s history, Maëlle stands alone between her unborn child and her unpredictable ex. But Denton, a newcomer to town – and her landlord – shows her a side of the river she never knew. Both adrift and searching for a place to belong, Denton and Maëlle lean on each other to recover from their respective heartbreaks. But some wounds can’t be healed by hope and love, especially when the past can’t be easily erased. This small-town exceedingly slow-burn romance is the third book in the Caribou River series. Though it can be read as a standalone, there are spoilers from the previous books.

Lifeline

A powerless witch and a banished demon walk into Hell...That's not the beginning of a joke, that's Satine Dread's life.

Arcane Nephil is absolutely guilty of the crime that got him kicked out of Lucifer's Kingdom. Even so, he's desperate to get back and finish what he started. When he crosses paths with Satine, he sees an opportunity: if she pretends to be his fiancée, his demon father has to let him back into the Devil's domain for their nuptials.
