Lake Bliss

Dani Sullivan has come to Lake Bliss to write her latest cookbook and take a breather. After the year she's had, she deserves a summer retreat to reevaluate priorities and make peace with past decisions. But from the moment single dad and sheriff Matt Reagan shows up, she has a hard time convincing herself that a life away from the lake could beat the life she might have here. Newly divorced Matt is ready for a new relationship, but he doesn't want short-term—his son needs permanence, and so does his heart. Unfortunately, it's the smart-mouthed, sexy Ms. Sullivan who catches his eye.

Rachel Clarke is a single mom with three boys, and she needs help. Now. Unfortunately, her only option is John MacDonald-her high school sweetheart and the disgraced hometown hero who's just returned to Lake Bliss. He's perfect for the job. He cooks, he cleans, and he's amazing with kids. He's also still far too sinfully hot for Rachel's comfort . . .
