I’ve been in love with my best friend’s older brother for years. Unrequited and very much a secret, I’ve been content only to share my feelings in the letters I wrote him. For five years, Carter served overseas, and I poured my affection and concern into unsent notes I foolishly hid in his family’s mountain cabin. The very place where Carter plans to stay once he returns stateside. I need to find the letters before anyone else, especially before the man who holds my heart discovers my secret.
Carter
I never imagined that when I retired from the military, I’d have to do it like this. Scarred and broken and unfit for the beautiful things in this world. Which is exactly what I find in my family’s old cabin, in the form of my sister’s tempting best friend, Ava. Suddenly, we’re snowed in together, and I’m struggling to remember why I’m supposed to keep my hands to myself. I’m too damaged to deserve Ava’s sunshine, but she’s got me hoping for a Christmas miracle.

BLURB
In the smallest towns you find the biggest hearts.
When Avery visits the small town of Crested Butte, she only has a short time to decide if she will put down roots here as their new librarian or return home. As charmed as she is by the mountain town and the kind people there, it’s a chance encounter with a kitten and a handsome fireman that really make an impression on her heart.
The Macallan family is a pillar of the Crested Butte community, but they’ve got a reputation for being eternally single. Lance is no stranger to relationships. As the youngest Macallan and a fireman, he’s an extremely eligible bachelor in the small town. But no woman has ever made him want to settle down. When he meets a cute out-of-towner while rescuing an adorable kitten, the life he knows is about to be shaken to its core.
He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.
He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids.
But another man took my hand.
He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart.
I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon.
I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.
Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.
But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything.
I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try.
I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch…
He says he’s different. He says he loves me and my son, and he wants to take care of us.
I believe in this love.
All I need is a little luck.
(A LITTLE LUCK is a spicy small-town, single mom romance with elements of forced proximity, only one bed, who did this to you, he falls first, and a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)
