Book Description
He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose. Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more. I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didn’t know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I don’t miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. I just hope the secrets and regrets don’t destroy our second chance before it’s even begun.

Book Description
Mike Gallagher had taken his motorcycle on America's best rides, and survived many close calls.One day on Colorado's Cottonwood Pass, the law of averages caught up with him.Mike's favorite ride is Cottonwood Pass, near his home outside Buena Vista, Colorado. He's ridden it hundreds of times. On a beautiful June day in 2015, a simple gear-shifting problem caused Mike to launch off a curve into a steep ravine, trapped under a tree and his motorcycle.His left leg was severed under the knee. His left arm and right leg were pinned under him. Grasping his motorcycle key in his right hand, he tried to saw through the tree on top of him, to no avail. Gasoline from his motorcycle dripped on him , cauterizing his wounds - but the gas also pooled under him, burning his back.He lay in agony for hours, until a bicyclist, suspicious of the skid mark on the road, looked into the ravine and spotted him. A perfect combination of local search-and-rescue personnel, medical professionals, and divine intervention saved Mike.Against the odds, Mike emerged from rehab six months later, walking and ready to live independently. He set out on a quest to find and thank the people who saved him. What he discovered changed him, and maybe it'll change you, too.

There’s no such thing as witches…right? Emerson Wilde has built the life of her dreams. Youngest Chamber of Commerce president in St. Cyprian history, successful indie bookstore owner, and lucky enough to have her best friends as found family? Done. But when Emerson is attacked by creatures that shouldn’t be real, and kills them with what can only be called magic, Emerson finds that the past decade of her life has been…a lie. St. Cyprian isn't your average Midwestern river town—it’s a haven for witches. When Emerson failed a power test years ago, she was stripped of her magical memories. Turns out, Emerson’s friends are all witches. And so is she. That's not all, though: evil is lurking in the charming streets of St. Cyprian. Emerson will need to learn to control what’s inside of her, remember her magic, and deal with old, complicated feelings for her childhood friend--cranky-yet-gorgeous local farmer Jacob North—to defeat an enemy that hides in the rivers and shadows of everything she loves. Even before she had magic, Emerson would have done anything for St. Cyprian, but now she’ll have to risk not just her livelihood…but her life.

For the owner, Lydia Hoffman, it represents her dream of a new start—life after cancer. Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and three very different women join the first class. The lesson is to each make a baby blanket, though separately, creating this craft is a chore to be tackled, a gesture of reconciliation, or an act of hope. As the lives of these four women knit together, they make unexpected discoveries—about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to understanding and acceptance, to laughter and friendship. Sweet Dreams on Center Street, the first novel in Sheila Roberts’ Life in Icicle Falls series (Previously published as Better Than Chocolate.) Sweet Dreams Chocolate Company has been in the Sterling family for generations, ever since Great-Grandma Rose literally dreamed up her first fabulous recipe.

Can Samantha, the oldest daughter and new head of the company, come up with a way to save it? After some brainstorming, inspiration strikes. They’ll have a chocolate festival! Time’s running out, but the Sterling women are determined and the town’s behind them, so everything’s bound to go smoothly… Discover your next favorite series, and enjoy a break to small towns where everyone helps out and love is just around the corner.
