New Haven

Melanie Danvers thinks her life is on track. She has a successful career, great friends, and a special someone in her life. But when she least expects it, fate throws her a curveball—a face from the past—the man who deemed their one night together a mistake. After eight years away, a temporary work contract brings Steven MacAlistar back to his hometown—a place to which he thought he’d never return. It only takes one encounter with Melanie to make him realize that despite the long absence, his heart has never left.

Alexandra Masters yearns for a family of her own. She's making progress too...her boyfriend checks all the right boxes. If only she could ignore Zac Danvers, her best friend's brother. He's insanely handsome and makes her heart race, but he's also insufferably rude and seems to hate her. Luckily, he lives miles away so they're rarely forced to see each other. Zac's job as a successful doctor in New York keeps him busy. A weekend trip home for Thanksgiving is exactly what Zac needs, except he can't avoid seeing his sister's best friend, Alexandra.

Julie Rolland’s grateful for her daytime job, even if the women don’t appreciate her flirting with their male coworkers. Please, she’s just being friendly. The only man she has to stay away from is the Head of Construction, Jack. He’s part of her social group and has never shown any interest in her. Never mind that he sets her heart racing or that they share amazing chemistry while belting out karaoke songs.

Adam Wilson loves running his non-profit, Daily Bread; their soup kitchens provide a temporary solution for those in need. But when his dream to open a homeless shelter becomes a possibility and he finds the perfect building, a chance encounter with a beautiful woman adds a complication he didn’t foresee.

Emily Quinn enjoys her life in New Haven. She’s grateful for the flexibility her job allows for studying part-time and in a place where she knows her secret’s safe. Attending church with Charlotte, her employer is a blessing. If only meeting Henry—Charlotte’s boyfriend’s best friend—hadn’t ignited fireworks of attraction. But the man’s a player, too good-looking and so charming he could melt ice with his smooth, warm voice. She’ll keep her distance.
