Santa's on His Way

In New York Times bestselling author Stacy Finz’s Nugget romance series, a picturesque California mountain town is the perfect place for fresh air—and fresh starts, especially when it comes to love. One divorce, one mind-blowing kiss with a stranger (code name: Matthew McConaughey), and one year later, Joey Nix desperately needs to find a job in Nugget. It’s the only chance she’ll have of sharing custody of her sweet little daughter with her soon to be remarried, renowned surgeon ex-husband. Luckily, Joey’s qualified to work as an in-home caregiver. Coincidentally, a job offer comes from the afore mentioned unforgettably sexy stranger (real name: Ryder Knight). It’s a terrible, irresistible idea . . . Ryder needs help with his ailing, depressed mother, and darn if Joey isn’t the best candidate. Good thing he’ll be sleeping in his camper, because their chemistry is still crackling. Besides, the loss of his wife and unborn child five years earlier have left Ryder squarely focused on his trucking company—and even that’s on shaky ground. Still, Joey knows how to lift his mom’s spirits. And his too—despite a troubling secret she’s shared with him. But when she asks him to accompany her to her ex’s wedding, Ryder “I don’t do weddings” Knight will have to do a lot of soul searching. What he discovers just might surprise them both . . .

When a popular marriage counselor's own marriage falls apart, she's forced to question her methods--and discovers the magical ingredient she's been missing all along--in the dreamiest possible way . . . Just one year ago, Chelsea Knight was living the life she'd always wanted. Marriage to the perfect guy, a thriving career, and a gorgeous condo overlooking San Francisco Bay. Then out of nowhere, her husband, Austin, left her. Ironic, because Chelsea fixes marriages for a living. In fact, she's famous for her techniques. Naturally, she's been using her expertise to win back her ex--and when he invites her for drinks, she's sure her work has finally paid off. Until he announces he's engaged. Devastated, Chelsea seeks refuge in the beloved small-town lake cabin she and Austin now take turns using. When she arrives, the streets are dazzlingly decked out for Halloween, the autumn leaves are exceptionally vibrant, and the locals are especially warm and welcoming. It's downright magical--and so is Knox Hart, a talented jack-of-all-trades who's fixing her roof. Chelsea is instantly drawn to him--and to the simplicity of country life. Slowly, she becomes immersed in the townspeople's problems and finds a sense of belonging--leading her to reevaluate her own path . . . But something about the idyllic hamlet--and Knox--seems too good to be true. A trick more than a treat. And when she ultimately learns the truth, her heart is shattered. Miraculously, Austin is there to mend it. It's everything she'd hoped for. Or is it? On the cusp of making all her dreams come true, Chelsea must find the strength to make an impossible choice . . .

Nothing Less Than Magic

From the bestselling author of Falling Hard, a woman determined to put smalltown life behind her has second thoughts when a hunky stranger moves in. Raylene Rosser is Nugget’s most infamous prodigal daughter. The townspeople aren’t exactly holding a welcome home parade when she returns, but that’s okay with Raylene—she’s only here to make amends for selfish mistakes, sell her property, and get out of town asap after her half-brother Logan’s wedding. Picturesque Nugget is her past, and Raylene is determined to build a future . . . All of which would be easier if Logan hadn’t asked his business partner to keep an eye on her. A security specialist, Gabe Moretti certainly knows how to shadow a girl—and how to boss said girl around. It would be infuriating, if only Raylene could keep her eyes off Gabe’s broad chest, rugged profile, and sexy smile. Falling in love might not be the safe choice, but sometimes everyone needs to tempt fate . . . This ebook contains a bonus Q&A with the author!

Choosing You

The Garner brothers are poster boys for the ski resort town of Glory Junction, California. But as much as they love outdoor thrills, they know how to create indoor thrills, too . . . Colt Garner thrives on adrenaline. As Glory Junction's police chief and the co-owner of Garner Adventure, he knows where to find danger and excitement. Unfortunately his new neighbor, fussy, transplanted city girl Delaney Scott, is anything but a thrill, even if she is as gorgeously curved as a killer ski slope. They have nothing in common but a shared driveway they're arguing over . . . and a mutual attraction neither of them can fight. Starting over was not in designer Delaney's plans. But now that her rotten ex has walked away with the rights to her brand, she needs to reinvent herself, and fast. It's not easy with bold, brash Colt next door, too handsome for his own good, and, she's sure, too unreliable for hers. But as small town life throws them together again and again, Colt and Delaney find that simple romance may be the most exhilarating gamble of all . . .

Need You

In the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain town of Nugget, California, falling hard is all too easy . . . This is the summer of Annie Sparks-at least according to her. No more supporting lazy jerks or coddling irresponsible family or taking care of anyone who doesn't deserve her help. Instead she's headed to an estate in a remote mountain town, to spend her summer with her boots covered in mud and her hands working the earth. Love is the last thing on her mind. Nugget is a long way from Logan Jenkins' old life as a Navy SEAL. But before he starts fresh in the private sector, he receives a bequest from a man he never knew: his biological father. To learn more about his background, Logan makes his way to his late father's estate, where he is immediately knocked on his heels by an incredible woman with a heart of gold. Annie's not looking for a fling, and Logan knows Nugget can't be forever, so falling in love should be impossible. But when they're together, time stops, and suddenly the impossible seems like the only thinkable option . . . Praise For Stacy Finz "Stacy Finz is a unique new voice.

Tiny Blessings

The New York Times bestselling author delivers an emotional, intimate work of women's fiction centered on a young widow, and filled with reflections on love, loss, and finding hope, and even joy, after heartache--for fans of Josie Silver, Sophie Cousins, and Rebecca Serle. No marriage is perfect, but in Rachel Ackermann's eyes, hers came close. From the very start, her love story with Josh was wonderful. There's just one problem with stories: no matter how great the beginning, there's also an ending. For Rachel and Josh, it comes suddenly and far too soon. Trying to move on without Josh feels impossible, and it's tempting for Rachel to cocoon in the dark with the reminders of the life they should have shared. But her quirky, sometimes exasperating family won't let that happen. And as Rachel is nudged back into the sunlight, she uncovers a trove of surprising secrets--and an opportunity to save a family legacy--and maybe save herself in the process . . . But it will mean forging an unexpected alliance with her late father's unpopular young "trophy wife." And then there's Rache's renewed bond with Campbell Scott, the boy who another lifetime ago broke her heart. Just when Rachel thinks she's got everything figured out, she learns that in between beginnings and endings lie new chapters . . . "A journey well worth taking." -Amy Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author "Through a heartbreaking exploration of love, loss, and grief, Finz weaves together a beautiful story of healing, hope, and unexpected second chances." -Amy Pine, USA Today bestselling author

Now it turns out he’s also a father—to a twelve-year-old girl he didn’t know he had. Clearly, it’s no time for a new romance, especially not with Aubrey McAlister, who’s renting the cottage on Dry Creek Ranch. She doesn’t even seem to like him. Still, there’s nothing wrong with looking . . . After calling off her wedding, Aubrey is trying to focus on her interior design career and avoid the fact that she’s the center of small-town gossip. Clearly, it’s no time for a new romance, especially not with brooding Cash. Though she does find him sexy as hell. And he has softened since his daughter arrived—enough for Aubrey to help decorate her room—and even try to get Cash to open up about the chip on his shoulder. Once he does, both their hearts might just follow—but will their futures sync up as well? . . .
