Kate Larssen lives in Mistletoe Falls, a small, charming town in northern Minnesota. After romantic disappointments, she focuses only on the animal shelter she manages…and the possible return of a vengeful ex-con she helped send to prison.

Deputy Brad Bailey recently moved to Mistletoe Falls with his six-year-old daughter. His wife died last December, and he isn't interested in new relationships. He only wants to build the best possible life for his grieving daughter. He hopes taking Janie to visit puppies at the animal shelter will lift her spirits, but when she begs to adopt them all, he realizes his mistake. Or is it?  Can a friendship with Kate lead to anything more?

Lucy Davis has fourteen days to settle her late aunt's estate in Scotland, then she needs to be on her return flight to Chicago so she can straighten out the mess her own life has become. As her Aunt Maura's only remaining relative, she figures it won't be difficult--she'd never even heard of the woman who just died at eighty-nine, but assumes the most challenging aspects will probably be re-homing a pet cat or two, and hauling a few things to drop off in a donation bin.

Lucy doesn't expect to find that Maura wned a charming B&B, complete with a collection of quirky lodgers who have no intention of moving out...plus one tall, mysterious man who just might be the man of her dreams.
