When Celeste first visited the small coastal town of Hermana, she had no idea the famous community shrouded in supernatural vibrations would soon become her home. Although skeptical of the town’s magic, she’d fallen in love with the shrimp-colored house with the dainty veranda as soon as she’d laid eyes on it. With its ocean view and the area’s thriving tourism industry, it had seemed like the perfect place to invest. And when local handyman and heartthrob Aidan Waite showed up to do repairs to the high-peeked Gingerbread-style shop she knew she’d made the right decision.

Following her father's death, Leigh Cameron returns to Watford, Massachusetts to take over the family business. For a seasoned journalist with the country's largest daily, running a small town newspaper should be a piece of cake.
But she hadn’t counted on having to share the reigns with David, her father's right hand man. Leigh sees him, as an arrogant tyrant who believes his way is the only way. David can only see her as the private school brat who’s had everything handed to her on a silver platter.
Despite their differences, Leigh and David are going to have to work closely to save the failing paper - very closely. Their major scoop and saving grace comes by way of a prison break from the local penitentiary. But when an escaped convict highjacks the presses and holds Leigh hostage, only one person can come to her rescue.
For Natalie Gray, planning the wedding of the year was a cinch. Getting the groom to show up was another story. When the Style Network series asked if they could feature her and fiancé Shane Robertson’s funky downtown wedding, she’d jumped at the opportunity. Cameras at the event would only add to the soiree’s cache and the publicity would do wonders for her fledgling business, Life Solutions.
When Shane disappeared a mere three weeks before the wedding, she began having her doubts. Thank God good old Eric agreed to step in.
Melissa Thomas is tired of the dating scene. The next man she gives her heart to will be the man of her dreams - dark, gorgeous and Italian.

But, when Melissa steps into Alden’s broken home, the young painter does a lot more than give the place a much needed face lift. And when her Italian fantasy comes knocking, Melissa faces one of the toughest decisions of her life.
Paige Fisher loves used books. The thought of those millions of hands touching every page and caressing their spines excites her. She likes books so much she'd rather spend her Friday nights at the public library than anywhere else.
Books give T.C. Shields hives. Raised by Bill Shields, New York state's most successful used bookstore magnate, he overdosed on the written word at an early age. For his birthday every year, he'd get a book. When the Tooth Fairy came, she left a book. So did the Easter Bunny and Santa. The only things that ever made their way into the Shields' household were books, books and more books.

Armed with nothing more than a camera and killer instincts for the news, he travels the world capturing some of today's most poignant images. It's a world filled with real people, real challenges and true adventure. After all, why imagine escaping to foreign lands when all you have to do is go see them for yourself?
When a stroke forces Bill Sr. to take time off, he sends for his son. It's high time T.C. take his responsibilities and learn about the family business. His sentence? Six months as general manager at Alexandria Bay's Book Market in upstate New York. T.C. is miserable. He's not cut out for the nine to five grind. But when he catches Paige touching herself behind the stacks, customer service takes on a whole other meaning.
