Little Bridge Island

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot comes the first story in her Little Bridge Island series-which also includes an excerpt from her forthcoming new full-length novel No Judgments! Looking for a tropical escape? Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest-and most beautiful-islands in the Florida Keys, home to sandy white beaches, salt-rimmed margaritas, stunning sunsets, and some of the quirkiest-but also kindest and most resourceful-people you'll ever meet. Physical trainer Roberta "Rob" James moved to Little Bridge hoping she'd found paradise, but things haven't turned out quite as she'd hoped. The closest Rob has come to her "happily ever after" is happy hour at the Mermaid Café with her buddy Bree, the bartender slash waitress who's got romance problems of her own. But Rob's situation suddenly changes when sheriff's deputy Ryan Martinez accidentally enrolls in her bridal boot camp class. Turning mush into metal in time for the big day is Rob's passion (because even the happiest bride could use a little toning). But what happens when a guy who's all mush meets a girl who's all metal? They discover they have a lot to learn . . . about each other, themselves, and the island paradise they've come to call home.

The storm of the century is about to hit Little Bridge Island, Florida-and it's sending waves crashing through Sabrina "Bree" Beckham's love life… When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island-as well as its connection to the mainland-twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn't worried . . . at first. She's already escaped one storm-her emotionally abusive ex-so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake. But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets. Now it's up to her to save as many of Little Bridge's cats and dogs as she can . . . but to do so, she's going to need help-help she has no choice but to accept from her boss's sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the Mermaid Café's most notorious heartbreaker. But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge's power is restored and her penitent ex shows up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.

New York Times-bestselling author Meg Cabot's returns with a charming romance between a children's librarian and the town sheriff in the second book in the Little Bridge Island series. Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys, home to sandy white beaches, salt-rimmed margaritas, and stunning sunsets-a place where nothing goes under the radar and love has a way of sneaking up when least expected... A broken engagement only gave Molly Montgomery additional incentive to follow her dream job from the Colorado Rockies to the Florida Keys. Now, as Little Bridge Island Public Library's head of children's services, Molly hopes the messiest thing in her life will be her sticky-note covered desk. But fate-in the form of a newborn left in the restroom-has other ideas. So does the sheriff who comes to investigate the "abandonment". When John Hartwell folds all six-feet-three of himself into a tiny chair and insists that whoever left the baby is a criminal, Molly begs to differ and asks what he's doing about the Island's real crime wave (if thefts of items from homes that have been left unlocked could be called that). Not the best of starts, but the man's arrogance is almost as distracting as his blue eyes. Almost... John would be pretty irritated if one of his deputies had a desk as disorderly as Molly's. Good thing she doesn't work for him, considering how attracted he is to her. Molly's lilting librarian voice makes even the saltiest remarks go down sweeter, which is bad as long as she's a witness but might be good once the case is solved-provided he hasn't gotten on her last nerve by then. Recently divorced, John has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. But something in Molly's beautiful smile gives John hope that his old life on Little Bridge might suddenly hold new promise-if only they can get over their differences. Clever, hilarious, and fun, No Offense will tug at readers' heartstrings and make them fall in love with Little Bridge Island and its unique characters once again.

Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about a children's book author with a case of writer's block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything-including their feelings for each other. Don't Judge a Book by Its Author... Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys. Jo Wright always swore she'd never step foot on Little Bridge Island-not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there. Then Jo's given an offer she can't refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island's first ever book festival. Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival's more-than-generous speaking fee. She's suffering from a crippling case of writer's block on the next installment of her bestselling children's series, and her father needs financial help as well. Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah! But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions-and more than willing not only to make amends, but prove to Jo that he's a changed man. Things seem to be looking up-until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone?
