About Christine DePetrillo

Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

She lives in Rhode Island and occasionally Vermont with her husband and her cat who defend her fiercely from all evils.

Krista literally saw Noah every day. Some days, resisting him was easy. Most days, it wasn’t.

Noah Williams has been in love since the third grade, but he’s settled for Best Friend status for thirty years. He keeps himself busy by working at Brenton Sawmill in Maplehaven, Vermont and taking care of his grandmother who raised him after his mother died. Without Nana, he’s sure he wouldn’t have made it this far, and now Noah is returning the favor. Life is good, but would it be better if he put complications aside and shed his Best Friend status?

Krista Davidson runs the business side of Birch Peak Adventures with efficiency and precision while raising her son, Luke, with all the love she has to offer. She’s all he has since his father has been classified as MIA for the past five years. Krista’s been waiting for her soldier husband to return, but even when he’d been home in Vermont, there had been a distance between them. At least Luke has Krista’s two best friends, Noah and Dakota, for positive male role models.

When Luke finds himself in danger early one winter morning, Noah leaps in to rescue him, risking his own life in the process. Krista’s eyes are opened to everything Noah has to offer her and her son. Maybe the line between friends and more than friends isn’t as solid as Krista thinks it is.

Is one kind kiss enough to change friends into soul mates?

$3.99

No one likes to surrender.

Warrior Jaemus McAlator will never forgive his selfish brother for turning him into a werewolf. He was quite happy being a man—one who had known great success in battle and enjoyed the glory that came with his victories. Now his own anger and that of a Celtic goddess have ripped him from the life he knew in Ireland only to dump him first on a desolate tropical island and then, even worse, on his brother’s damn doorstep. His brother wants forgiveness. Jaemus just wants a normal life again, but is that possible with fangs and fur?

Maple Ridge Trading Post owner Nika Skarvinski is in trouble. Her father’s shop in the woods of Canville, Vermont had always been a tourist hotspot. Until her father died. Now she struggles to keep it—and the memory of her father—afloat while businessman Robert Senclair pesters her to sell the land to him. He also wants her to be Mrs. Robert Senclair. Nika doesn’t want to do either, but when the one thing bringing in money at the post—The Wolfman Show—loses its star, her only choice might be to accept defeat.

But no one likes to surrender.

Can Jaemus make life as a werewolf work? Is forgiving his brother possible? Can Nika keep her trading post away from Robert? Will she lose her father’s memory?

Maybe if a wolf fire burns bright enough, they’ll both be saved.

Leah had a plan in place for this new phase of her life and she’d stick to it. Over six feet of Dakota Brenton wasn’t going to change that.

Dakota Brenton spends his days leading thrill seekers on adventures through the woods of Maplehaven, Vermont. He’s traveled all over the world on expeditions, but he always comes back home to the cozy town his ancestors founded. Dakota loves his free-spirit lifestyle. He comes and goes as he pleases, however, he can’t help wanting more.

Leah Greenstead is the new fourth grade teacher at Maplehaven Elementary, a school built through a generous donation from Brenton Sawmill. Having abandoned New York City after a tragedy, Leah is doing her best to adjust to life in the quiet Vermont town. With any luck, she’ll be able to leave her past behind, stick to her rules about not getting close to anyone, and preserve what little is left of her heart. She wants to believe the world is safe again, and if that means being alone, then so be it.

When Dakota meets Leah at a ceremony honoring his family’s sawmill, he sees his next adventure. As Maplehaven’s golden boy, he’s surprised when Leah doesn’t immediately accept his advances. He’s never had to work this hard, but he has a feeling Leah Greenstead will be worth the effort.

Is one kind heart enough to change Leah’s mind about love?

Warrior Reardon McAlator kills anyone’s enemies for the right price. Victory comes easy to him and his fierce army… until one day, they meet their match. Faced with the possibility of destroying their legendary winning streak, Reardon takes action. He makes his men more like him and angers the wrong Celtic goddess.

As if one perfect match for her really exists.

Marco made a decision right then to feed Shaina. In all possible ways.

Marco Vieira serves his customers at Cups Café with a smile even though he’d rather be working on his novel. Recently, however, he’s having more success making specialty BLT sandwiches for the citizens of Maplehaven than adding any words to his manuscript. He’s tried all the tricks to get over writer’s block, but nothing seems to work. He can’t find any inspiration—in writing or in relationships. His friends have all found their soul mates, but he’s still staring at the blank pages of his love life.

Shaina Windsor needs money. If she doesn’t get some cash soon, her very sick twin sister, Heather, isn’t going to survive. Shaina has to find a way to afford medical treatment for Heather before she loses her only living relative—and her best friend. Out of funds and nearly homeless due to their late Aunt Patty’s financial debts, the sisters arrive in Maplehaven in a rusty RV, hoping for a miracle.

When Shaina eyes Cups Café as a potential source of money, she decides desperate times call for desperate measures. What she doesn’t expect is to play the role of hero when she discovers Marco is still inside the café after hours and in trouble. Her next move could mean life or death for both of them.

Is one kind word enough to write a happy ending?

Jacy Brenton loves handling the marketing side of her family’s business, Brenton Sawmill, deep in the woods of Maplehaven, Vermont. She uses her creativity to bring in more customers while being surrounded by her family and friends in the small town. A trip to New Orleans to see a college friend, however, reminds her that an entire world exists beyond the mountains and forests.

Goddesses and humans didn’t have relationships. It was that simple. Only it wasn’t.

Warrior Erik Rheagan has been living by the water in Rhode Island where he washed up after being banished from Ireland by Flidae, Celtic goddess of wild things. He hadn’t planned on being a werewolf, but when his leader turned him and the other lads in an attempt to give their army an edge against their enemies, Erik rolled with it. Shifting into a wolf whenever he felt like it wasn’t the worst thing in the world. Loving the goddess who had banished him from his home, however, was. The rules said they could never be together, so why can’t Erik stop thinking about her?

Flidae banished the werewolves to protect them and she’d watched four of them successfully find their soul mates. Only one wolf remained. One wolf who had become more important to her than was allowed. Goddesses and humans didn’t have relationships. It was that simple. Only it wasn’t. Flidae knew Erik Rheagan was something special from the moment he became a werewolf and now she can no longer ignore the pull toward him.

When a fellow deity offers Flidae an opportunity, she can’t refuse the chance to be with Erik even if the deal has a time limit on it. Being able to love Erik for a little while is better than nothing. Right?

A wolf sun keeps hearts warm, but for how long?

Better to live without love and keep her secrets.

Warrior Shawn McMannus only knows the fighting life. Whether it’s on the battlefield in Ireland of the past or in the ring as part of an underground fight club in present-day New Hampshire, he delivers a pounding to his opponents. Until his brother persuades him to try another way in the werewolf-friendly woods of Vermont. The pull of the pack is strong even if becoming a werewolf hadn’t been Shawn’s choice. Leaving the only lass to ever have cared for him, however, was his choice.

Sculptor Jessica Fairheart can’t understand why Shawn left. She’d saved his life after a horrible accident, helped him recover from the loss of his leg, and loved him more than she’d ever loved anyone else. None of that had stopped him from walking out on her though. He probably would have ended up leaving anyway… if he had found out what she was. Better to live without love and keep her secrets.

When Shawn’s brother contacts Jessica, she can’t resist going to Vermont to see Shawn. Maybe she can’t deny her feelings. Maybe she just wants answers. Maybe she wants another chance, but does Shawn?

Only an angel can tame this wolf fighter… if he wants to be tamed at all.

Being here in Maplehaven was healing Carter. Being with Dena was helping. Tonight might cure him completely.

Dena Brenton crunches numbers at her family’s sawmill in Maplehaven, Vermont and loves the order and logic of the job. When an opportunity to attend a conference in Rhode Island on managing business finances comes around, she’s on board to learn more and make improvements. It’s time for a little adventure anyway. She’s not sure where her current relationship—if she can even call it that—is going. Some time away will help her figure out more than just numbers.

Carter Bennett breathes life into the video games he creates. From New York originally, he’s made Vermont his home after visiting his best friend, Leah. So far the state has proven to be successful for him and his games. The pause button has been pushed on his love life though and he’s not sure if he—or the woman he’s interested in—is ready for the next level. Hitting the play button is the only way to find out.

When trouble finds Dena at the conference, she retreats back to the safety of Maplehaven. Carter is ready to be there for her, but she’s done the calculations and putting herself in safe mode is the only way to keep any potential threats outside her perimeter.

Is one kind touch enough to resume the game?

"I don’t think I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time right now. I think I’m exactly where I should be."

Violet Demetri styles the hair of Maplehaven’s citizens at her all-natural salon, Tresses, and cuddles the shelter animals in the small town before finding them forever homes. Vermont has been kind to her and her brother, Jorden, when their family wasn’t. She’s carved out a comfortable existence for herself though her love life has been one big mistake after another. A no-dating rule may be Violet’s only hope of avoiding heartbreak. Again.

Dawson Kinsford entertains music fans with his cello in the group Drei, a trio that has recently set the internet ablaze. He enjoys performing on stages across the country with his band mates, Juno and Gabi, but maybe it’s time to find a place to call home. His success would mean more if he had someone special to share his dreams. Someone he could trust. Not someone just looking for her time in the spotlight with him. Does that woman exist?

When a near-death experience almost silences Dawson’s cello forever, Violet becomes more than an adoring Drei fan. Maybe she needs to make an exception to her no-dating rule. Perhaps Dawson has found someone who finally sees the real him.

Is one kind note enough to make a love song that will last a lifetime?

Warrior Kole McMannus has been traveling across the country in a time that is not his own, searching for his brother. Since the day a Celtic goddess banished him from his home in Ireland, he’s battled wolves, wandered from state to state, and nearly lost all hope of being reunited with his kin. When he lands in Vermont and finds two of his cousins living the good life, however, he picks up new energy to continue his quest. Getting back to his old life with his brother is within his reach… if he still wants to grab it.

Or maybe Emma will find a new distraction.
