Gideon's Cove

Dive into the first book in the fan-favorite Gideon's Cove series by New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins! Maggie Beaumont's luck is about to change. Sure, she's known for her bad romantic choices-her former boyfriend broke up with her by bringing his new girlfriend home for a visit. And then there was the crush she had on a gorgeous young Irishman, who turned out to be Father Tim, the parish's new priest. But romantic salvation has arrived in the form of handsome, if surly, fisherman Malone. It turns out there's a heart of gold underneath his barnacle-clad exterior. Will this catch of the day turn into the dish of a lifetime? Originally published in 2007.

Finding a man should be simple, especially when you aren't expecting romance! Lucy Lang wants a husband. She's not looking for anyone special, just someone decent and reliable-but definitely not a man she'll fall in love with. A young widow, Lucy already loved and lost her soulmate, and she doesn't want to risk that kind of heartbreak again. But sick of being lumped in with her cursed "Black Widow" aunts, Lucy is motivated to give up her casual and completely inappropriate relationship with Ethan Mirabelli, her handsome neighbor, and search for something more dependable. Having been friends with Lucy for years, Ethan knows what she needs better than anyone else-and that's him. But convincing her that their relationship is more than a "friends with privileges" arrangement will be a long, complicated process. Luckily, Ethan has always been patient...

An unexpected summer fling could turn out to be the best decision she's ever made! After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon's Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns-a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father's wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she's not thrilled...even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox. Second on Parker's list: find a nice man to have a no-strings-attached summer fling with...if that's even possible in a small town. Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist's assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn't the boring lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn't the only thing that needs a little TLC. Previously published.
