THE BAKER’S BEAUTY
Welcome back to River Hill, where life is a little bit sweet and a whole lotta spicy.
After tragedy struck, Sean Amory left L.A. to come home to River Hill to work at his family’s bakery. The familiar surroundings soothe his raw nerves while the gorgeous brunette who jogs past every morning has another effect entirely. And when she helps him out of a bind, he learns Jess is even sweeter than the apple fritters he’s become famous for.
Former beauty queen Jessica Casillas-Moore hasn’t eaten carbs since she was fourteen, but that doesn’t stop her from jogging past The Breadery every morning. And when she meets the handsome baker who works there, Sean is every bit as mouthwatering as the pastries he serves. And so much better for her waistline.
But between her family’s disapproval and his haunting past, the odds seem stacked against them. Can Sean and Jess learn to trust in each other and their growing love, or is their relationship a recipe for disaster?

THE BARISTA’S BELOVED
Return to River Hill, where the coffee isn’t the only thing that’ll leave you buzzing.
It’s been months since whiskey maker Maeve Brennan has been on a date, and she’s coming dangerously close to giving up on men altogether—until she crosses paths with River Hill’s sexy new barista. But Ben’s made it clear he only wants to be friends, so Maeve will definitely stop fantasizing about his forearms. Probably. Maybe.
Former lawyer Ben Worthington never thought he’d be living above his best friend’s garage and slinging coffee, but there’s a lot about his life that doesn’t make sense. Like his attraction to the town’s beloved distiller. But since Maeve’s made it clear she doesn’t have time for romance, Ben will stop dreaming about her naked. Soon. Eventually.
But when the youth center where Maeve volunteers comes under fire from a big-city developer, Ben realizes he’s exactly the type of hero she needs. He just hopes she can live with his take-no-prisoners approach to winning, because he’s pretty sure he can’t live without her.

THE CHEF’S CUTIE
Take a final trip to River Hill, where the kitchen isn’t the only place things are heating up.
Chef Max Vergaras’s culinary star is rising, but when his orphaned niece comes to live with him, expanding his restaurant empire is put on the back burner. He’s ill equipped to handle raising a nine year old, especially under the watchful eye of Elizabeth Teague, the social services caseworker assigned to them. His life has never been more complicated, which includes his feelings for the blonde beauty: she’s everything he wants—and everything he can’t have. And since Lizzie holds his family’s future in the palm of her hand, all of his thoughts about how she fits seamlessly into his life need to go on the back burner, too. Just as soon as he figures out how to get her out of his dreams.
Lizzie Teague has an important job to do, and she can’t get distracted by one case—even if Mia’s uncle Max has a way with food that has her thinking about things that definitely aren’t on the menu. But with her career and reputation on the line, she has to remember why she took this job in the first place … and it certainly wasn’t to fall in love with her clients. No matter how loveable the sexy, charismatic chef and his sweet, young niece might be. So she’ll keep her mind on the job and out of the gutter—just as soon as she can get her heart on board with that plan.
Max and Lizzie could lose everything if they give in to temptation. But what if it’s possible for them to gain even more? What would they risk when love—and family—is on the line?
