Honey Blois is no stranger to pain. The lasting effects of an abusive childhood have made her life challenging, but it’s the ache of unrequited love she can no longer bear. When her confession goes unanswered, she has no choice but to fall out of love with her best friend.
Mathias Jørgensen is living a lie. The billionaire playboy buries the pain of loving the one woman he can’t have with flashy cars and bad decisions—until Honey’s letter comes to light. With renewed hope for the future, he vows to find his way back to the boy she fell in love with if it’s the last thing he does.
And it might be.
As the pair blurs the line between friends and lovers, his unscrupulous past demands a reckoning. To save the woman he loves from a watery grave, Mathias will have to remember every last detail of the life he’s desperate to forget.
“I don’t want Mathias’s family to keep paying for everything, you know?” My shoulders slumped from fatigue and embarrassment.
“You want some independence from them. That’s easy to understand,” Charity agreed, holding my hand.
“Independence when you are multiply neurodivergent like me is a bit of a fallacy.”
“Multiply neurodivergent?” she asked, confusion in her voice.
“It’s the term Dr. Newsome used for my brain disorder. I have multiple different neurological conditions that form the diagnosis.”
“And that means you’ll never be independent? I think you’ve proven them wrong already if you ask me.”
“It just means I’ll always need someone to look out for me,” I said on a shrug. “I’ll always need someone to check up on me and make sure something didn’t happen.”
“Like a seizure? I thought the seizures weren’t bad ones?”
“Every seizure is a bad one,” I explained. “For the simple reason that every seizure I have could lead to a bigger one. A different kind. A life-altering one. My brain changes over time because of the syndrome I have.”
“I’m sorry, Honey. I didn’t know that you were dealing with so many complicated situations.”
I leaned forward on my legs to stare out the windows. “It’s actually a relief to know there’s a reason for everything that happened when I was a kid. Knowing that my conditions all put together in one package have a name is actually a relief. I don’t feel like it’s my fault anymore, if that makes sense? That I’m not a bad person or a dumb person.”
“It’s not your fault, Honey, but I totally understand where you’re coming from. I felt the same way when I first moved here and had to come to terms with my past. Sometimes we blame ourselves for things outside of our control, and it takes someone important to us to show us that it’s not our fault. Gulliver was that person for me. I would guess Mathias is that person for you.”
Never one to linger, computer security expert Charity Puck doesn’t expect to be romanced by the small-town charm of her latest job. But when her RV rolls into Plentiful, Wisconsin, nestled along the breathtaking shores of Lake Superior, she’s convinced nothing could be more alluring—until she gazes into the delectable hazel eyes of her new client.
Underestimated due to the crutches on his arms and braces on his legs, CEO and researcher Gulliver Winsome doesn’t expect his job to put his life in danger. But as he rushes to bring an eco-friendly pesticide to market, in an attempt to save the pollinators, he finds himself the target of a sinister plot—uncovered by the tiny blonde dynamo he hired to fix his servers.
Someone is trying to steal Gulliver’s research, and they’ll stop at nothing to bury the evidence. With feelings in bloom and the would-be couple’s lives in peril, it’s up to Charity to decipher the clues before they both end up in the Lady of the Lake’s cold-water castle.
Special Agent Donovan Walsh was looking for a change. He didn’t think anything could be more challenging than being a single father, but he hadn’t met his new state witness yet. Offered a stint as Sugar’s bodyguard, he agreed to fly to ‘the tip of the end of the world,’ in hopes of finding himself again. When autumn turned to winter and an attempt was made on Sugar’s life, she had to trust Van to lead her through a dangerous rumba of deceit, kidnapping, and murder. When bullets started flying, Van had to believe he could protect his one reason for living.
This Christmas, Sugar has an important question to answer. Will Van finally heal her broken heart or will he be the one to break it beyond repair?
