Landon Abbott and his identical twin brother, Lucas, had always shared everything-until they laid eyes on Amanda Pressley and both wanted something only one of them could have. All it took was her pretty little mouth uttering the words "prostate massager" during a sales pitch at his family's Green Mountain Country Store in Butler, Vermont, to make Landon's heart stop and other parts of him jump to attention. Unfortunately, his brother felt the same... Amanda is making a list and checking it twice. Nearly dying in the fire at the Admiral Butler Inn has left her with tons of regret and a new lust for life. Topping the list of things she wants to do with her second chance are two key items: fall in love and have an orgasm with a man. The last person she expects to check all her boxes is world-renowned player Landon Abbott. She might've made the mistake of saying yes to dates with both brothers once upon a time, but only one of them makes her heart pound. Too bad she can't figure out how to move off the starting line toward something more than friendship with the ridiculously handsome firefighter... Things are heating up in Butler this spring as they find just what they've been missing on the road to happily ever after. But like mud season in Vermont, that road is full of potholes as a long-buried secret from Amanda's past and Landon's plethora of female admirers threaten their newfound happiness.

For the first time since he lost his wife suddenly thirty years ago, he has met a woman who makes him feel less lonely, and all he wants is more of his Sweet Mary from Vermont. Flirty phone calls become a weekend away together that takes his relationship with Mary to the next level. But with six hours and two vastly different lives standing between them, can Mary and Patrick find happily ever after together? And after telling her father to keep his hands and everything else off Mary, will Cameron approve of her father's new romance?
Grayson Coleman has just moved home to Butler, Vermont, after spending years working for a high-powered law firm in Boston. He's looking for a simpler, less stressful existence in the sleepy little mountain town where he grew up with his siblings and Abbott cousins. Once the holidays are over, he plans to hang out a shingle and open a new general law practice. After helping to raise his seven younger siblings, the last thing on his mind is a family of his own. Emma Mulvaney is enjoying a break from her reality as a busy single mother in New York City while she and her adorable daughter, Simone, spend the holidays in Vermont with Emma's sister, Lucy, and Lucy's future in-laws, the Abbotts. After meeting Abbott cousin Grayson Coleman and talking to him for hours, Emma is nervous and excited to have dinner alone with him after sharing her deepest, most personal secrets. Will that first night be the start of something new for the jaded lawyer and the selfless single mom, or will a holiday-week flirtation turn into something much bigger than either of them ever expected?
A year after his thirty-one-year marriage imploded, Dr. Kevin McCarthy is enjoying life on Gansett Island. He's opened a small practice, goes fishing with his older brothers any time he wants, and has his sons, nieces, and nephews close by. Best of all is his all-consuming relationship with sexy bartender Chelsea Rose. What started as a one-night stand a year ago, has turned into something much more significant for them both. The sixteen-year age difference between them never mattered until they realize they may have differing plans for the future. Will they be able to reconcile their divergent paths, or will their hearts be broken when they go their separate ways?
Wade Abbott is one and done-one look, one conversation, one weekend-and he knows who he wants. The only problem is that Mia Simpson is not free to return his affection. In fact, he suspects she's in an abusive marriage, but she never confirms that, and he has no choice but to mind his own business where she's concerned. Then two years after they first met and a year after he last heard from her, she shows up half-frozen, bruised and beaten on his doorstep, needing something only he can provide. He's determined to make it work, no matter the cost.
It's the dead of winter on Gansett Island, and Riley McCarthy's mood matches the lousy weather as he and his family work to bring their new business, McCarthy's Wayfarer, back to life. He can't deny that he's been in a funk since Nikki Stokes and her twin sister, Jordan, left the island last fall without saying goodbye. Riley, who'd been hired to fix the leaking roof at their grandmother's home, had liked talking to Nikki and had been looking forward to getting to know her better. Months later, he still thinks of her every day, even if he wishes he didn't. She's hard to forget. As the manager for Jordan's reality TV career, Nikki finds herself square in the middle of the kind of drama she's had more than enough of, especially since her sister plans to go back to the husband who released a sex tape that devastated her last fall. Enough is enough for Nikki, who quits her job and heads for her happy place-her grandmother's oceanfront home on Gansett Island-hoping she might run into the sweet, sexy guy who fixed the roof last fall. She liked talking to him and wonders if he stayed on the island for the winter. She really hopes he's still there. The minute Riley hears that Nikki has come back to Gansett Island, he has to see her. He has to know if the spark of attraction he'd felt for her is still there, and more than anything, he'd love to know why he's thought more about a woman he met exactly twice than he ever has about anyone else.
Lucas Abbott and his identical twin grew up sharing everything-including a reputation for funny, idiotic behavior. But now that Lucas is ready to shed that lovable-idiot image, grow up, and have a real adult relationship, the joke's on him. He and his twin have fallen for the same woman. Crushed and hoping a few days on the slopes will work out his frustrations, he heads for Stowe, Vermont. But all thought of fun and relaxation flies away as a car spins out in a snowstorm and his firefighter/paramedic training kicks into high gear... Danielle Rowson is hoping to pick up the pieces and build a new life for herself and her daughter in Vermont. Winding up in a ditch in the middle of a blizzard isn't part of the plan-and neither is the kind, sexy rescuer whose strong hands pull them to safety. Lucas has been a little kid, a big kid, and now an adult, and he discovers that adulting has more than one advantage, especially when it comes to sharing with Dani and Savannah the one thing that's his and his alone: his love.
Deacon Taylor stepped up for a friend and got himself thrown in jail, and when he's given a choice of felony charges or leaving town with his police chief brother Blaine, he chooses the latter, consigning himself to a summer under his annoying older brother's supervision. Julia Lawry used the last of her resources to come to Gansett for her sister Katie's wedding and has no idea how she's going to get back to Texas to clean up the mess she left behind. Another relationship has ended in dramatic fashion, and she's put herself on a "dick diet," swearing off men who use and discard her. When Deacon talks Julia into taking off with him during her sister's wedding, neither of them can know how that wild ride on his motorcycle will be the start of the most important journey either of them will ever take.

Tobias "Slim" Jackson has the perfect life as a pilot on Gansett Island in the summer and in Florida in the winter. He's happiest when he's in the air, or at least that was the case before last summer when he met Erin Barton, Gansett Island's newest lighthouse keeper. Now he can't seem to find his usual enthusiasm for flying, winter in the sunny South, or anything that doesn't include her. Erin has been stuck on pause since she lost her twin brother. She'll tell you herself that her life has been a hot mess since Toby died. After dropping out of law school, she flits from one pointless job to another, existing rather than truly living. Then she comes to Gansett Island to take over as the new lighthouse keeper and meets Slim, who happens to share her beloved brother's first name. That small coincidence is enough to convince her that she needs to spend more time with the dashing pilot-except for the fact that he's spending the winter more than a thousand miles from her. Now Slim's come home to Gansett for the holidays and hopes to pick up where he left off with Erin. He's got twelve days before he's due back in Florida to finish out the remainder of his winter obligations. A lot can happen in twelve days, but will it be enough to convince Erin that it's time to start truly living again?
