The past has its place...in the past!

Innkeeper Shay James has been telling herself for a decade that she's over her ex-fiance, Jonah Cedar. But now the Chicago attorney's come home to care for his ailing grandfather, reawakening powerful feelings— along with painful memories. Shay can't afford to repeat history.

At twenty-two, Jonah couldn't wait to trade his secluded Alaska hometown for big-city success. Shay was supposed to share that dream. Yet even with unresolved issues between them, their connection is stronger than ever. Jonah's visit was only going to be temporary until a threat to Shay's beloved Faraway Inn gives him a reason to stay and fight for that second chance.

Starting over is serious business 

With her professional skiing career cut short by an accident, Hannah James is putting all her energy into transforming Snowy Sky Resort into something special. There's only one obstacle. Famous pro-snowboarder-turned-consultant Tate Addison has his own ideas about taking the Rankins, Alaska, lodge to the next level. But Hannah won't compromise her dreams.

She gets that Tate is trying to create a stable home for his orphaned six-year-old nephew — a boy Hannah already adores. And if she isn't careful, she could also fall for the boy's too-attractive uncle. Is she risking heartbreak? Or do she and Tate really want the same things out of life?

She's the most unconventional woman he'll ever meet…and the cure for a perennial bachelor?

Raised by her healer grandfather, former army medic Ally Mowak knows her alternative approach to traditional medicine puts her at odds with most of her Alaskan town. That includes Tag James, the rugged transport pilot with the sprawling family and political ambitions. Ally couldn't be more wrong for the aspiring senator. Then why does everything feel so right when they're together?

Nobody is going to hurt her–not on his watch 

A DEA stealth mission has brought coast guard Lt. Commander Eli Pelletier home. But when he ends up aiding rescue swimmer Aubrey Wynn during her own harrowing mission, powerful emotions reignite between them. Except Aubrey doesn't want Eli's protection. She wants answers. 

Twelve years ago, Eli broke up with Aubrey without telling her the real reason he was leaving Pacific Cove. How can he try for a second chance if he's forced to deceive her again? Amid suspected drug trafficking and a sabotaged Christmas contest, Eli must find a way to regain Aubrey's trust without compromising his career or endangering the woman he loves.

You can't always play it safe

With four sons dependent on her, Janie Everett needs to keep her life uncomplicated. Now famous scientist Aidan Hollings is disrupting her orderly world, starting with the rescue of a...bumblebee.

Aidan is only passing through her Alaska wilderness town, and wasn't planning to bond with her two older boys. Or become so attracted to the widowed journalist. His globe-trotting days may be over if he's able to show Janie that they can share the adventure of a lifetime — together.

Can he stop the one who got away - from getting away again?

Everyone in her Alaskan town hopes Iris James is back for good. Including Dr Flynn Ramsey, who stole her heart when they were awkward teenagers. She realises he's planning an encore, but a prestigious job in Washington, DC, is calling to her. Only, ever since their kiss at her brother's wedding, Iris isn't sure about anything. Except her reignited feelings for Flynn...

Hired to protect her...unable to resist her.

The job sounds simple: teach a businessman’s daughter how to stay safe. But former navy SEAL turned bodyguard Kyle Frasier has a personal motive, too. Harper Jansen is his late best friend’s fiancee. Loyalty demands he protect her, not that Harper looks in need of rescuing. In fact, it’s Kyle who needs help – balancing duty with his desire to build a life with the one woman he shouldn’t want...

Winning this battle could mean losing it all 

San Diego workaholic Emily Hollings doesn't eat fish, doesn't wear flannel shirts and certainly doesn't fraternize with the enemy. So why is she finding herself charmed by Rankins, Alaska–her company's next development target–and the leader of its hostile opposition, Bering James? 

She must be more burned–out than she thought. Her professional reserve is slipping. And she's starting to fantasize about a life beyond work…a life like Bering has here. Maybe they can put their professional differences aside and explore this…friendship. Or maybe she's just deluding herself. Because one of them has to win.

Saving lives is who they are!

Risking his life for others is all in a day's work for Coast Guard Petty Officer Jay Johnston. Until he comes to the rescue of Mia Frasier after her small plane goes down. Maybe it's because the empathic, blue–eyed vet wants to save the world just as passionately as Jay wants to create a safe haven for his five younger siblings, but there's no denying their bond.

Despite his growing feelings for Mia, a romantic relationship isn't on Jay's radar. How can two people always on the move stay in one place long enough to create a family of their own?

A woman ready to tackle the duties of a cattle ranch and two lively, take–no–prisoners twin girls are what Jon Blackwell needs. But ever since Lydia Newbury showed up at his six–generation Montana spread, the frazzled single father is rethinking, well, everything. The Philadelphia dazzler is a marvel. What he doesn't know is the secret that has Lydia on the run…
