Escape to Summer Lake: The Ultimate Small-Town Romance Boxed Set (Books 1-3)

Welcome to Summer Lake, where the air is crisp, the lake is blue, and the men love fiercely.

The Summer Lake contemporary romance series follows a group of friends from a small lakeside town in the California hills. They've kept in touch over the years and now, in their early thirties, their lives are drawing them back to Summer Lake and to each other.

If you crave sweet n’ steamy small-town romance, unbreakable lifelong friendships, and emotional, deeply satisfying happily-ever-afters, your next binge-read is waiting.

Three Full-Length Novels. Three Irresistible Couples. One Connected World.

Book 1: Love Like You've Never Been Hurt (Jack & Emma) After a brutal heartbreak left her guarded and distant, Emma never expected that returning to her childhood hometown would heal her. She certainly didn’t expect Jack—a patient, fiercely loyal protector who is ready to give her forever. The trouble is, Emma doesn't believe in forever anymore. Can this patient, supportive hero break down her walls and prove that a second chance at true love is worth the risk?

Book 2: Work Like You Don't Need the Money (Pete & Holly) Busy CEO, Pete, doesn't have room for a woman in his life—only in his bed. But when his best friend and business partner marries Emma, Pete is thrown directly into the path of Holly, Emma’s stunning best friend. Assigned as Best Man and Maid of Honor, the immediate heat between them is dangerous. But when a stormy drive home from the lake leaves them stranded with only one bed at a cozy, isolated B&B, their temporary arrangement quickly spirals completely out of control.

Book 3: Dance Like Nobody's Watching (Missy & Dan) Missy has stayed anchored to Summer Lake, raising her son as a fiercely independent, beautifully chaotic single mom who thinks she's too busy for love. Enter Dan—Jack’s younger brother and a brilliant tech millionaire whose phenomenal success hasn't bought him real happiness. He’s a quiet, shy nerd, but when he visits the lake and steps in to mentor Missy’s son, the undeniable spark between this opposites-attract pair becomes a fire neither of them can put out.

(Intended for adult readers 18+. Each book in this main boxed set contains a complete story with no cliffhangers!)
