I've crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run.

But when my son's incredibly hot hockey coach Miles Anderson walks in, things get very, very complicated.

With his charming smile and our accidental dates, he's the exact opposite of any man I've ever dated. That should make saying yes to being with him simple, but nothing in my life is easy.

In fact, it's a mess.

Miles makes me smile and treats my son like his own. When we're together, I forget about my troubles and dream of a life that I will never be able to have with him.

It's only a matter of time until the past comes knocking and I'll have to leave, breaking us both in the process.




We’re back in Ember Falls with this tight net group of friends, and this time it’s Miles' turn to be blindsided by love. He wasn’t even looking for a relationship and certainly not planning on having a family, but he becomes immediately fascinated by a single mom new to town

Penelope and her six-year-old son, Kai are quietly settling into the small town. She immediately catches the eye of Miles Anderson, a townie, ex-Marine, and current high school principal. And he’s also now her son‘s summer hockey coach. Miles is infatuated and determined to get her to go out with him, but Penelope has guards up and follows her personal rules of not getting involved and tries not to get attached. But Miles and the people of Ember Falls are becoming more and more important to her, and even though she and Kai would love to stay and make a home, she knows it’s probably a matter of time before her past catches up with her

Miles is the best book boyfriend and I absolutely loved him. He's charming, caring, and protective. Once he decided what he wanted, he was all in and not afraid to go for it. Even if he has to resort to dates by coincidence and various cute ways to flirt. She makes him work for it, but she has her reasons. But he also works hard to make her feel safe, cared for,  protected, and seen. And he’s willing to do whatever he has to to keep her. And his relationship with Kai was heartwarming as well. 

This is a single mom, heroine in hiding, he falls first, small-town romance with a lot of heart and just enough tension and suspense.

This brings back Miles' friends and they love to tease each other but are also always there for each other. It also has cameos from some of the men of Cole security. I am looking forward to Everett's book which was teased a bit in this one.


For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview.

Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet, somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it.

But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes.

He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me.

We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.
