Summer Sisters

One picture. One tabloid. Two lives changed forever. Finian Alexander is one scandalous tabloid photo away from catapulting his acting career onto the A-list. All his bad boy persona needs is an agreeable member of the paparazzi to give him a friendly boost. But vacationing out in the middle of nowhere, the only photographer he knows is way too scrupulous for her own good. Or is she? Hailey Summer is desperate for cash-so desperate that she's willing to do just about anything with her photography skills to save her family's cottage and keep her secrets hidden from her sisters. So when sexy and arrogant movie star Finian makes her an offer, Hailey can't resist. But does his proposition take things too far? And when their plans begin to unravel, will Finian and Hailey find the limelight too blinding? This is the first book in the complete Summer Sisters series, written by New York Times bestselling romance author Jean Oram.

One sexy, burned out billionaire. One spitfire graduate. One small island. Tycoon Connor MacKenzie has it all from the penthouse to the world-dominating corporation. At least that's what everyone believes. Underneath it all, his life is disintegrating faster than a stock market crash. When Connor's doctor forces him to take it easy and go deep into cottage country for some much-needed R&R he lands on an old cottage veranda in Muskoka which lacks the luxuries he's accustomed to. Maya Summer, a recent business grad, has been waiting for opportunity to come a-knockin' and not only has it arrived on her doorstep, but it's presented itself in a very sexy package. However, despite Maya's best advances and proposals, Connor's strict new "no-work diet" has them both starving for much more than than just business. Can Maya convince Connor to let her be his new right-hand business gal while gaining enough income to save her family's cottage? And will Connor, the workaholic, be able to resist her charms, both in and out of the boardroom?

One developer. One lawyer. One unexpected chance at love. Years ago, cut-throat developer Tristen Bell had everything that ever mattered to him ripped away. Now divorced and living in Muskoka, he's shunning all that reminds him of his past and the unstoppable man he used to be. Melanie Summer thought her law degree would help her find a place in this world. But when a big city developer threatens to destroy all that she loves-including her family-she finally sees her path. The only hiccup is that the man she needs-the sexy and stubborn Tristen Bell-refuses to do anything other than give her tender, knee-weakening kisses every time he sees her. When Tristen's teenage daughter ends up in the ER due to the negligence of his former rival, everything changes. Tristen knows he can shut down the developer but it means resorting to his old, ruthless ways and showing sweet Melanie a side that may send her running. With time running out to stop the developer, and their attraction for one another increasing, will Tristen and Melanie learn to love and trust one another in order to reach their happily ever after?

One shattered war hero. One hippie. Two very unlikely sweethearts. Evander de la Fosse believes he's only good for one thing: stopping bullets meant for others. But as war-torn hero Evander shadows single mother, Daphne Summer, he finds himself wishing for the one thing war took from him-a life worth living. Daphne, with her bright and upbeat disposition, possesses a pull on him he can't deny. A believer in the power of love and destiny, Daphne figures fate must have a major wicked streak for sending her polar opposite-Evander, a well-armed bodyguard-into her life. She doesn't need him, nor does she want him or his military ways seeping into her world. She has a life to live, a daughter to raise, and a family cottage to save in less than two weeks. The last thing she needs is to get involved with another Mr. Wrong. But the steely-eyed, former military hunk refuses to leave her side, especially after a confrontation with the enemy, who has been stirred up by her sisters, ends in threats. Daphne, determined not to add fuel to the fight, tries to convince Evander to back down. But Evander knows Daphne needs him-needs him for more than just protection. Will the two find a way to see eye-to-eye as well as heart-to-heart before the enemy can take them down? Find out in the fourth Summer Sisters book!

One blizzard. Two opposites. And some time under the mistletoe. Josh Carson has a secret. As a firefighter, he's comfortable being sent in to save forests and wildlife, but in his spare time he creates delicate hair ribbons that are anything but masculine. When he finds Simone snowed in on Nymph Island--and she'd rather freeze than be saved by Mr. Tough Guy--he realizes that the only way to win her over and get her to safety is to take a risk and reveal his true self. Simone Pascal loves being independent and self-reliant--she's never needed a man to save her, and yet she keeps falling into Josh's arms at every turn, wanting him to rescue her. The worst part? She likes it. A lot. Which is a big problem since she's rearranged her entire life to take on a new project-a baby via a sperm donor. Her life plans most definitely do not include anything as unpredictable as falling in love with Mr. Macho Firefighter, but that seems to be exactly what she's doing. Will the two come to terms with their true selves in time to snag their happily ever after? Or will they be spending Christmas cold and alone?
