$FREE on 11/3/2023 – Rescued in Maple Bay by Brittney Joy

His best friend's widow needs his help… But he's afraid she's stealing his heart as well.

It takes everything Lilah Davis has to be a single mom and run the animal rescue she started with her late husband. In fact, without Henry's parents and his best friend Trace checking in she's pretty sure everything would fall apart. When three abandoned horses are turned over to her care, Trace is the one she turns to for help. It has absolutely nothing to do with how he makes her feel… Besides, she's not ready for anything more than friendship.

Trace Cardona is honoring his best friend’s last wish—for him to watch over Lilah and the kids. So when Lilah ends up with a wild, dangerous horse that needs training, he's willing to step in to help her—and continue to ignore his growing feelings for his friend's widow.

Trace could never take Henry’s place… But the more time Lilah & Trace spend together, the stronger their connection grows. And ignoring their feelings seems impossible. Even if they both know they should.

$FREE on 5/26/2023 – Eden’s Ridge Series Starters by Kait Nolan

Welcome to Eden’s Ridge, Tennessee. Home to the grilled mac ’n cheese sandwich (at Crystal’s Diner), the Wildcats (division champs in high school football), the world’s greatest foster mom, Joan Reynolds (God rest her soul), and some of the most gorgeous mountain views the Appalachians have to offer.

This set comprises the first novels of three different small town romance series set in Eden’s Ridge. It all begins with…

WHEN YOU GOT A GOOD THING: She thought she could never go home again. Kennedy Reynolds has spent the past decade traveling the world as a free spirit. She never looks back at the past, the place, or the love she left behind—until her mother’s unexpected death forces her home to Eden’s Ridge, TN. Will Kennedy be able to bury the past, or will the secret that sent her running destroy her second chance?

LET IT BE ME: With her daughter headed off to college, Emerson has no idea how to feel about her suddenly empty nest. She barely remembers life before motherhood, but firefighter Caleb’s right next door to give her a reminder—along with a toe-curling kiss that catapults them past friends and into something more.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE: Run-away writer Ivy finds the inspiration she didn’t know she needed in the real-life hero who rescues her from Winter Stormageddon. As more than the fireplace heats up Harrison's one-man cabin, they both find far more than they bargained for. This intuitive author just might have the answers this haunted Ranger is looking for, but will their newfound connection survive past the storm?
