Annie Sharpe is the chef of a successful, acclaimed restaurant that she co-owns with her husband, Max. Mother to two now-grown-up sons, she’s worked hard for her business and her family. But when she walks in on Max in flagrante with one of the waitresses, she decides she’s had enough and walks out of her marriage, her livelihood and the only life she’s ever known. Suddenly free of responsibilities for the first time in her life, on a whim she responds to an ad asking for someone to caretake a house on England’s south coast, in the picturesque village of Willow Bay.

This small town second chance romantic comedy features a sassy woman who’s not afraid to speak her mind, a sexy Chief of Police determined to do what’s necessary to win her back, the cutest rescue dog in history, and a whole town full of hippies who think being a busybody is a good thing.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

I’m such an idiot. I thought Maverick was serious when he whispered sweet nothings in my ear. He talked me right out of my pants and straight into his bed. And when I woke up the next morning, he was gone. Lesson learned. No more listening or speaking to Maverick—regardless of whether he’s the owner of the wildlife refuge where I work. But someone’s not getting the hint. Oh no. Mr. Big Important Movie Star thinks the world revolves around him. If he wants something—or someone in this case—he’s going all out to get her. Good luck. I am not giving him a second chance. Because I know him.

I may be back in my hometown and down on my luck, but I know better than to fall for Lyric again. Been there. Done that. Have the heartbreak to show for it. When my business and apartment burn down, there’s only one thing I can do—return to my hometown of Winter Falls with my tail tucked between my legs. I won’t be here long, though. As soon as the insurance company decides I didn’t start the fire—one little accidental fire to get out of a math test does not make me an arsonist!—and cuts me a check for the damage, I’m out of here.

Maisy Moore is not looking forward to the holiday season. As owner of the only hair salon in Gamble, Alaska, she'll be run off her feet helping her clients get dolled up for parties. Parties she'll never be invited to. But that's not the worst of it. As a single mom, she knows she still won't be able to give her seven-year-old son, Jack, the kind of magical Christmas his classmates get. If only she could give him what he really wants—to know who his dad is. The last thing Maisy needs is for NHL star Chase Evans to come waltzing back into town like he's God's gift to women.

Dear Diary, Hi. It’s me: #TheLeftoverBride. That hashtag sucks. Can we agree ‘Tis the season for a do-over? All I want for Christmas is for my life to turn into a Hallmark movie—but sexier and steamier. Last year, my fiancé, aka #TheRunawayGroom, sprinted past me at the altar, breaking my heart, destroying my booming wedding dress designer career, and bringing my family’s bakery close to bankruptcy. This year, I have a plan. Not on this list? Getting back into the spotlight. Also not the list? Falling in lust or in love.
