Book Description
Two cups of an arrogant, dirty talkin' firefighter who has an obsession with peaches and the forbidden girl who smells like them. One tablespoon of a sweet schoolteacher trying to find her place in the world while attempting to resist her brother's sworn enemy. A slice of fate that has their hearts questioning the past and the consuming need they have for one another. A dash of desire. A pinch of rivalry. A sprinkle of deja vu. Mix together in a large bowl to create a combustible passion and a future that neither of them could have ever predicted. Bake at 350 for a rich serving of destiny and a love that could burn for eternity. A timeless recipe that is sure to fill your heart with a generous helping of Sweet Haven. *** This a longer length novella and is the second book in the Sweet series. It is told in dual POV, has an HEA, and no cliffhanger. Since Samantha and Jase are recurring characters from Sweet Temptation and Sweet Love, I recommend reading both books prior to this but it isn't a must."

Book Description
What do you do when life sends you the ultimate test? Perhaps you have a dream to do something really special but can’t find the courage to take the next step, or maybe you’re dealing with something really difficult, and you don’t know what you can do to make it easier or who to turn to for help; or perhaps you haven’t found out yet what you’re meant to do with the rest of your life and are wondering what’s the point! The Pony who Wanted to Prance tells the story of a black and white pony called Pepper who arrives at Sweet Haven, an animal rehabilitation centre located on the edge of the Lake District, after being abandoned in an allotment with nine other horses and left to die. Lack of room at a local RSPCA sanctuary means Pepper has to be moved to the private rehabilitation centre run by a woman called Josie Cornell and her husband, Steve, whose home has become a sanctuary to a whole host of other animals. The story shares the journey of how two ‘different’ individuals are brought together, both seeking to find their place in life: Josie Cornell, a woman who is desperately trying to find some meaning in her life after finding out she cannot have children; and Pepper, a pony who is seeking acceptance and who believes that to do that, she must first master the ability to ‘prance’.

Book Description
Love kindles when a fake engagement brings best friends together. World Champion snowboarder, Wyatt Fernandez, should be hitting the slopes in the Andes and spending his days teaching as the new ski instructor. But an emergency means he’s heading off the family’s tree farm with his best friend, Harper. She’s too busy with her books and earning tenure to notice his hopes for more than friendship. Homebody and nutritionist, Dr. Harper Bright, must let go of her coveted summer research position so she can help on the tree farm...with Wyatt. He might push past her comfort zone, but he has always “gotten” her. She doesn’t want to scare off her best friend just because he is suddenly far more interesting than the nutritional benefits of broccoli. In order to keep their friendship intact, Harper has to pretend she is not infatuated with her best friend. When Wyatt names Harper as his fiancé to appease his father and prevent returning to Chile early, he never dreams Harper might actually have to play the part. Wyatt wants more than a reluctant fake fiancé. And he has one last summer to convince Harper that they’re better together. Reviews for Better Together: ★★★★★ "Twist Turn Swoon.
