Head back to Pride Oregon to find out what some of your favorite Jill Sanders’ characters are up to.
Life it seems is hell-bent on crushing Eva Chapman. Starting with the tragic loss of her brother, for which she is solely to blame, to the unfortunate turn of events that have landed her where she is now; on her knees, hiding behind the counter at a hole-in-the-wall bookstore, in a small town in the middle of nowhere, with local police in hot pursuit. This was not the life she’d imagined for herself. And no amount of imagination or self-destructive behavior could ease this pain. Running is all she has now.
Fresh out grad-school, psych-degree in hand, and here he is manning the local coffee-shop/bookstore in his hometown of Pride. Rafe had never felt more a-drift and confused. The truth is, he’d never really thought this far ahead, and until his sister returns from her post-2nd-divorce-meltdown-vacation this will have to do, that is, if he can survive the boredom. He did kind of enjoy the relaxing tourist vibe and routine flux of interesting local eccentrics in and out the shop every day, but it was the gorgeous hot mess that just dove over his counter that really caught his attention!
Riley was living the dream. Running her own business, being her own boss, and finally moving into her own place. Things couldn’t be any better, well, with the exception of catching Carter Miller’s attention. If only the sexy man next door would ever make his move. Maybe she’ll just have to nudge him along?
Carter was in deep. Holding in his feelings for Riley was becoming too difficult. Especially when his brother’s wedding was less than a month away and he was forced to work one-on-one with the woman who made his body, mind, and heart betray his better judgment.
Lilly Stevens didn’t have time to flirt anymore, and that was a real shame because the man of her dreams was right next door. Opening a boutique, Classy and Sassy, with her cousin has taken all of her free time, and her spending money. Still, it was hard to say no to the blond-haired man with sexy green eyes and a killer smile. Not only was he gorgeous, but the man could make her laugh, and that was one of the most important items on her list of must-haves for potential loves of her life.
Corey and his twin, Carter, have finally achieved their lifelong dreams of being on their own. Finally, they can have a normal life, even if their dark history makes them leery of letting anyone in. But the little town of Pride has a way of shedding light in the darkest corners. Now, the sexy girl-next-door has caught his eye, but she’s too perfect for someone with his history, even if her slate eyes and lush pouty lips demand his attention.
It’s time Matthew admitted he has bitten off more than he can chew by purchasing the old house on the hill… After all, it was just going to be a side project. Having his new brother-in-law fix up the place had been easy enough. Spending the first night in the old place, he’d gotten a little more than he’d bargained and now the interior decorated he’d hired was the only one who could corroborate his crazy stories.
Interior decorator, Blake Shelby was hired to fit what was going to become one of the best projects in her new career. The massive old place was a perfect setting to show off her skills. It didn’t put her out any that the owner was tall, dark-haired, green eyes, and everything she’d ever dreamed of. Speaking of dreams, since staying in the guest room, she’d had a few doozies herself.
Carrie was broken-hearted when Joshua, left town after a messy breakup. Two years have passed, and she’s done waiting around for him. Finally moving on, she has her eyes on a new-comer to Pride, but just when things are starting to heat up, Josh strolls back into town. No longer a boy, but the man of all her fantasies. She knows she must play it cool or risk losing her heart again.
Josh left Pride to try and find himself, but after two years of searching the world and himself, he returned back home a little wiser and with a new mission. Seeing Carrie again had been a shock to his system but watching her hang on the arm of another man had been an even bigger shock. Now his only goal in life was earning the trust of the woman he’d always loved and trying to win her back, at any costs.
Sara Jordan has finally been given the chance to run The Golden Oar, a restaurant that’s been in her family for generations.

Alice McKinney was supposed to be home for the holidays, enjoying her mother’s home-made pies and her father’s fried turkey. Instead, she’s trapped in a blizzard, held up in a small cabin somewhere on the coast of Oregon. If that wasn’t bad enough, her brother had sent his best friend, Eric to drive her home instead of himself. This meant, she was stranded with the man of her childhood dreams.
It was supposed to be a simple road trip to help his best friend out. Go down to Cali, grab Alice and bring her home to Portland. Spending fifteen hours in a car with the girl he’d always wanted but couldn’t have was punishment enough. That was until the storm hit, leaving them stranded in one of the most romantically perfect settings. Now, he’ll get to spend the holidays with his dream woman in a very magical place.

Ten years ago, everything was taken away from Raven. When the fire swept through her small hometown, it killed everything that she cared about. Not only had she lost her mother and father, she'd lost the one chance she had at true love. Coming home meant dealing with demons, and the worst one was the sexy fire marshal who was hell bent on getting answers about that night long ago that only she could give.
Cade had been one of the few to stick around Cannon Falls after ninety percent of the town had gone up in smoke. The fire hadn't just taken most of the buildings in town but over thirty of the one thousand residents had perished, including his younger brother Reggie. Cade doesn't know why his brother's school sweetheart is back to town, but he's having a hell of a time separating his desires from his determination to finally get some answers.
From a USA Today bestselling author:
When Eve inherits the family business, Candlewood Inn, she leaves her controlling ex and her job in Seattle behind to head to her childhood home on a small island on the Canadian border. She arrives to find that her family is in an uproar over her grandfather’s very legal dying wishes. After all, the group of sniveling babies had been living rent-free in the luxurious outdated hotel for years and using her grandfather’s bank account to bankroll their own extravagant lives. But Eve has a business degree and all the power now, and she’ll have to kick her family out of their rent-free, carefree lives if she plans on saving the inn and herself from ruin.
Single-dad Dylan started his own handyman business a few years back. He’s the only one on Orcas Island who can swing a hammer and not miss. So, when the new owner takes over at Candlewood Inn and hires him to remodel the old place, he jumps at the chance to make his mark on the huge building. Working with Eve is a pure delight, since the woman seems to know what she’s after. The fact that she’s nice to look at, and that Dylan’s daughter, Palmer, is infatuated with her, is a bonus. It’s the rest of the Candlewood family they will need to worry about. Especially, since it appears someone is out to destroy everything they are working for before they even get started.
Just because she has fiery red hair, doesn’t mean that Aubrey has the temperament to match it. Actually, it was quite the opposite, Aubrey was the shy one out of the group of friends. Maybe it was the horrors she’d had to endure growing up or maybe it was because until she’d met her four best friends that summer long ago, she’d never felt a connection before. Now, as her best friends find love, she starts to dream about the day she could open her own life to something bigger, and she’d been dreaming for a while now about who she wanted to share it with.
Aiden was the first employee the five friends had hired on at River Camps. He’d been there since the first nail was struck on the remodel and was excited when they had decided to keep him on around the camps to build more cabins. Seeing what his hard work had done for the place, he couldn’t help feeling pride as he walked around the place. The only thing that made his steps falter was bumping into the very sexy but shy Aubrey.
