Maddie Chester is determined to leave her hometown of Gansett Island, a
place that has brought her only bad memories and ugly rumors. Then she's
knocked off her bike on the way to her housekeeping job at McCarthy's
Resort Hotel by Gansett's "favorite son," Mac McCarthy. He's back in
town to help his father with preparations to sell the family resort and
has no intention of staying long. When Mac accidentally sends Maddie
flying over the handlebars, badly injuring her, he moves in to nurse her
back to health and help care for her young son. He soon realizes his
plans for a hit-and-run visit to the island are in serious jeopardy, and
he just may be "maid" for love.Normally Book 2-6 costs 3.99, but right now they are discounted to 1.99.
Joe Cantrell, owner of the Gansett Island Ferry Company, has been in
love with Janey McCarthy for as long as he can remember. At the same
time, Janey has been dating or engaged to doctor-in-training David
Lawrence. When things go horribly wrong between David and Janey, she
calls her "fifth brother" Joe, one of the few people in her close circle
who lives on the mainland. Janey decides a few days with Joe is just
what she needs before she goes home to the island to face her parents
and family with the news of her broken engagement. It was bad enough for
Joe loving Janey from afar, but having her in his house is pure
torture. Will he take advantage of this opportunity to show her what
they could have together? And what will Joe's best friend and Janey's
protective older brother Mac have to say about it?

Fifteen months after Sydney suffers the tragic loss of her husband and children, she's returned to Gansett to figure out what's next, and that may very well be a rekindled love affair with the one man from her past she's never forgotten. But is she ready for a second chance at love?

from the mainland, Grant suspects Stephanie is hiding something big from
her past. When he finds out what it is, what will be more important to
him? Winning Abby back or helping Stephanie to right a terrible wrong?
