Welcome to the charming tourist town of Wild Rose Ridge where love sizzles in the mountain air—and mothers love to meddle.
A Midsummer Romance
Two friends.
One play.
And a town of meddling mothers…
When wedding planner Jess Daniels’s personal and professional life implodes on the shores of Nantucket, Wild Rose Ridge is a perfect escape. But a flood in her aunt and uncle’s basement lands her unexpectedly at the Yellow Rose B&B— a few doors down from her childhood friend’s extremely attractive brother. She’s sworn off love and all entanglements. Her heart just needs to listen.
Professor Caleb Weaver thought leaving the big city university for a teaching position in his hometown would be easy. But between helping his parents with the B&B and getting roped into the town’s community play, he has no time to himself. But when Jess is also pulled in, the late nights and weekend rehearsals don’t sound so bad.
Real life begins to mirror Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream a little too much when they are strategically cast as the main couple. Worse, when a last-minute actor is invited to the stage. Can Caleb convince Jess to take a chance on him, or will the course of true love end in tragedy?
With a touch of summer magic, anything can happen.
"The course of true love never did run smooth." —Act 1, Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Wild at Heart
She craves adventure.
He's had enough adventure for a lifetime.
Wildlife photographer Kimberly Weaver wants only to see the world and make a name for herself, so when sightings of an endangered animal draws her back to her hometown of Wild Rose Ridge, she jumps at the chance to make her mark. And as a committed bachelorette, she’s coming prepared. The town meddling mothers will have no time to set her up after she turns their sights toward her friend Matt.
Reclusive ex-Navy pilot Matt Goodwin has spent the past year working to launch his business Wild Air Tours, but one thing after another threatens to ground his dreams before he can get out of the gate. He doesn’t have time to play tour guide, but he never could say no to Kimmie.
Two-thousand feet above the ground is the perfect place to reconnect, until the lines of friendship begin to blur. With time running out, and still no closer to finding their target, they must decide what they’re willing to do for a chance at happiness, or if the wild is the only place left for them to run.
