Although she vowed never to go back, nurse Siobhan McCormick returns home after two family members have died and her brother's life is threatened. Her new job introduces her to accident victim Jared Pierce, a man whose casual charm tempts her with the same bad decisions she made in her past. Haunted houses don't sell, and Jared Pierce's family sends him from Louisiana to Illinois to make sure there aren't any ghosts lingering in his great-aunt's house. An accident on an icy road extends his visit from a few days to a few months. Though the house is ghost-free when Jared arrives, a violent ice storm breaks apart a tree and releases the spirits of twin boys who were buried in the backyard. Temporarily disabled by his injuries, Jared needs his nurse's help to give the ghosts peace. There's only one problem. Siobhan doesn't believe in ghosts. Will Jared earn her trust and affection or will Siobhan retreat into the safety of her job?

When Sandra Meyer's violent ex-boyfriend returns to sleepy Edgarville, Illinois, she turns to the man who stood up to Nick Benedetto years ago. If brawny Garth Benson will pose as her boyfriend on social media, maybe Nick will leave her alone. Sandra adores Garth, but she doesn't want any more ties to Edgarville. Now finished with a decade of dedicated service as her mother's caregiver, Sandra is planning her exit from this one-stoplight town. Garth is firmly rooted in Edgarville with the family monument business and a trophy shop that will need a "mom" to his "pop." Garth has wanted Sandra ever since he slugged Nick more than ten years ago. Her secrets run deep, as do the strengths that he admires within her, but whenever he tries to move their casual flirtations from talk to dating, she backs away. Small town life has strangled Sandra as effectively as Nick tried to before he left town. Garth might be the one man who can protect her from Nick, but what he expects in return is too much. On top of that, her deceased father's unexpected appearance in the mirror of her new home exposes long-held secrets that will change Sandra's view of her family and hometown forever. When the last tie holding her to Edgarville is cut, Sandra runs as fast as she can, but the world outside her small-town community isn't all she expects

A high-profile contract in the famed New Orleans Garden District can bring architect Kathleen McCormick's dream of owning her own home that much closer, but she'll have to stifle her fiery temper while she's on location. The senior project manager is a notorious workaholic and the last associate to work with him got fired amid controversy. Still, Kathleen can't resist the urge to push his buttons. Sebastian Brooks' father likes to remind him that he founded his own firm by the time he was thirty. As Sebastian nears that same milestone, he's checking off the boxes for promotion at a more prestigious architectural firm, including contemplating an engagement with an acceptable socialite. The pursuit feels hollow, especially when his boss lobs an attractive, unpredictable new associate into his path to derail his promotion, a woman who reminds him of all the compromises he's made in the interest of living up to expectations. A mischievous ghost in a NOLA hotel decides to play matchmaker, but with a strict non-fraternization policy at work, getting involved could get both Kathleen and Sebastian fired. Caught up in the city's steamy atmosphere, their unexpected connection throws all their plans into a tailspin.
