Sophie Cartwright is an overworked, exhausted, down-on-her-luck single mother to eight year old, Maddie. She has bills up to her eyeballs, an academically challenged daughter who refuses to go to school, and an ex with an ego the size of a small country.
Just as life seems to be getting on top of her, and there appears to be no way out, she meets American Noah Bentley, a self-proclaimed piano man, and the new musician hired to play at the piano bar where she works.
In normal circumstances, Noah and Sophie would have never crossed paths. They come from completely different worlds - literally. But each has something the other needs ... and the ability to change the other's life for the better.

PLANS OF THE HEART
Aubrey Carter was busy chasing her dreams, eyes fixed firmly on the future. In the midst of her studies and part-time jobs, she never expected that caring for a spirited six-year-old girl would lead her to something far more complicated - and far more real.

His quiet strength and determination fascinated her, but so did the walls he kept tightly closed. Years later, fate brought them back together. Aubrey, now a rising star in the world of urban planning, and Nathaniel, who has built his architectural firm from scratch, find themselves working side by side. But old feelings linger, and Nathaniel's doubts - about their age difference, about trusting again - threaten to pull them apart before they even get close. Can Aubrey prove that love isn't about numbers on a calendar? Can Nathaniel open his heart to a second chance - before it's too late?Complete

She has hardly been back to her tiny Montana hometown since the unforgettable summer before her senior year of college, when she agreed to babysit for Laurel Jacobs.

Now she owns a bookstore, her kids are growing up, and she's too busy for romance. Annie thought she would have more time to settle back into life in Deer Pines before being confronted by the love of her life, but she's not that lucky. After all this time, she's back for good and Laurel is the first person she sees, when she has just spent seventeen hours on a train and she's desperately in need of caffeine.

A lot has changed since they last saw each other, more than either of them realize, but life hands out second chances for a reason. The first time they fell in love, the timing was wrong.

The Nanny
After a failed business, a brutal breakup, and one too many 'you're impossible to love' texts from her ex, Mercy Collins returns home broke, exhausted, and out of options. Moving into her sister's guest room at thirty wasn't part of the plan-but neither was becoming a nanny. Then she meets Leo Russo, a widowed single father just barely holding his life together, and his four-year-old son Luca, a messy, brilliant child who offers her a yogurt-covered goldfish cracker as a test of character she somehow passes. What starts as a desperate job becomes something tender. Safe. Domestic in ways she isn't ready for. Mercy finds herself cooking dinners, soothing nightmares, and getting pulled into the gravitational force of a little boy who trusts her too quickly... and a man who shouldn't be looking at her the way he does. Leo promised himself he'd never love again. Mercy promised herself she'd never fall for someone who needs saving. But between shared breakfasts, inside jokes, lingering almost-moments, and the quiet ache of two people rebuilding their lives under the same roof, boundaries blur... and the possibility of more becomes impossible to ignore. Loving this family could heal Mercy's deepest wounds- or destroy her heart completely. Heartfelt, intimate, and beautifully messy, The Nanny is a slow-burn single-dad romance about grief, hope, found family, and the terrifying courage it takes to choose love again.Complete
