Lindsay Gowan had been planning a vacation for months and now that summer has arrived, meaning her daughter, Millie, would be spending it with her, her hard work has finally paid off.
Determined to make this the best summer ever for Millie, and maybe to make up for the shared custody arrangement that has been taking a toll on her daughter, Lindsay ensures that nothing will come in the way of the perfect trip. Except the trip may not go as Lindsay planned when an unexpected guest at the same resort stirs up old feelings better left buried.
Josie Hill has gotten to live the dream that her and Lindsay both dreamed of in their teen years, but she has been carrying around guilt, heartache, and trauma for the last fifteen years. Without the person who held a special place in her heart, her life has been less than desirable.
However, a chance encounter brings them back together, but is a week enough time to set the record straight, heal old wounds, and maybe rekindle a flame that's died long ago?

Love Unscheduled
Liam Carter has it all-billion-dollar tech empire, international fame, and the world at his feet. But after a heartbreaking loss leaves him a single father, the only thing he truly cares about is his four-year-old daughter, Sophie. Retreating from the spotlight to a quiet suburban neighborhood, Liam expects peace, privacy, and zero complications. What he doesn't expect is her. Emily Rivera is the warm-hearted, no-nonsense nanny who just moved in next door. She's used to wrangling kids, not navigating the complicated world of celebrity neighbors. But when a chance encounter turns into an unexpected friendship, Emily finds herself drawn to the man behind the headlines-the exhausted father, the lonely heart, the guarded soul. He's her opposite in every way: wealthy, high-profile, emotionally closed-off. She's grounded, ordinary, and has no interest in dating anyone-especially not her neighbor. But between shared cups of coffee, late-night talks across the fence, and Sophie's growing attachment to Emily, something undeniable begins to grow. And when the world comes knocking again, Liam will have to choose: keep hiding behind his carefully built walls-or open his heart to the one person he never saw coming.Complete
