Everything Good That Happened
A sweet, small-town friends-to-lovers romance with heartwarming second chances and cozy, feel-good vibes, Everything Good that Happened is a whirlwind of yearning hearts, family drama, and a rescue bull.
Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything that has happened. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex's whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.
Fate intervenes when Sydney's cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better... until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs, slowly crumbles as Will's easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective. Sydney and Will try to keep things platonic, but they're only one stolen kiss away from falling for each other completely.
Something Good in the Dust
She drives like a drunk driver, hit him with her car, taped an entire loaf of bread to his front door, but he cannot stop thinking about her.
Impulsive and carefree, 32-year-old Lilly spends her days running a bakery and daydreaming about her next travel destination. But what she yearns for, more than anything, is finding someone she can be her true, lively self around. And in small-town Willow Creek, the chances of finding her match are slim to none.
That is, until Kade, a reserved but sexy police officer, comes to town, searching for an escape from his past. Jaded and trying to remain a loner, all he wants is to start a new, quiet life in sleepy Willow Creek.
But when Kade pulls Lilly over one night, it sparks a string of quirky run-ins that eat away at his reserved nature. When the dust storm rolls in, they end up on a collision course, and she becomes an irresistible light in his bleak world. As for Lilly… this uniform-clad, unadventurous man makes her giddy in the best ways. In a windstorm of sub-par driving skills, unfortunate sourdough decisions, and questionable pet choices, Kade and Lilly find that opposites really do attract. Each moment spent together sparks undeniable chemistry, bringing the promise of something more.
But when someone from Kade's past makes an unexpected visit, bringing his past traumas to the surface…will he and Lilly find a way forward or let it all crumble?
The Good Things Aren’t Perfect
Stubborn and determined, Lynette’s plan is to live forever. Realistic? No, but it’s the best plan she has so far. Being a single mom with an adult daughter who has autism, her purpose in life is to always be there for her daughter. From her experience, men don’t always love the idea of her daughter living with her for the rest of her life; therefore, she has resigned to staying single. She’s a woman of many hobbies, which she tackles with little to no instruction or prep work and certainly not the proper tools. Meanwhile, she keeps a watchful eye on her dream home, knowing she’ll likely never get the chance to move into it.
Wyatt is a hardware store owner with a daughter in college whom he raised on his own since she was nine years old. Things get awkward when Lynette’s daughter, who’s fixated on medical issues, happens to witness his own medical emergency in the middle of the grocery store, then creeps on him until finding him at his store. But even with Lynette being a hardware store owner’s nightmare, he can’t keep his mind off her. And when they continue to meet up unexpectedly, the chemistry between them can’t be ignored.
In a flurry of wildlife encounters, lives spared by rubber band guns, family drama, lost dog rescues, and bad news from the landlord, Wyatt and Lynette both find that perfection would have been far too boring for either of them. Though loving Lynette means also accepting her daughter, could Wyatt be the one to give them both the future they never dreamed of?
