Titles By Kelly Collins
A long time ago I fell in love.
She left—tore my heart in two.
Now she’s back, and I’ll do anything to keep her.
Women are trouble. I learned that the first time Kandra left.
You know what she told me? That I couldn’t give her the life she wanted—a life of glitz and glamor.
She left to model in the city, hit it big, and I thought I’d never see her again.
I thought wrong.
Now she’s back.
She looks different, but deep down, she’s still the woman I loved—the woman I love.
And this time, I’m going to make her mine.
Emmaline Brown had been in love once, but when Miles McClintock cracked open his family’s secrets, he ruined a lot of lives and crushed Emmaline’s dreams. With Miles no longer an acceptable suitor in her family’s eyes, she chose the life she was born and raised for—to run The Brown Resort. As part-owner and operator of Willow Bay’s largest luxury property, she’d been delivering happily ever after to the hundreds who flocked there each summer. She thought she was content to live her life alone, but that all changed when Miles McClintock came back to town.
Paramedic Miles McClintock left Willow Bay decades ago in disgrace. One honest decision lost him everything, including his family’s honor and the love of his life, Emmaline Brown. Luck had never been on his side until the day he was summoned home by his ill mother. One stop at the Five and Dime would change his life. An opportunity to run the resort next door puts him exactly where he wants to be—straight in the path of Emmaline Brown. She had once loved him when he was a wealthy rancher’s heir, but could she fall in love with the poor man he was pretending to be?
He feels abandoned. She feels betrayed. Can their love for one another douse the burning rage that keeps them apart?

Brie Watkins had loved two men in her life. One abandoned her at the altar twelve years ago, and the other died in the war. She is no stranger to loss, but she’s still learning how to move on. When her sick aunt asks her to come back to Willow Bay to help at the family resort, Brie says yes. After all, she’s a southern girl at heart, and a southern girl never turns her back on kin. Brie sells her beloved home, quits her job restoring historic properties, and goes back to the last place she wants to be, only to find her aunt healthy, The Brown Resort thriving, and the man who left her at the altar living next door, looking as handsome as ever. Why can’t life be fair?
Carpenter Carter Kessler left Willow Bay a dozen years ago and never looked back, but he never forgot his first love, Brie. He’s spent the rest of his life regretting his decision to leave her all those years ago. After his father’s death, he reluctantly returns to find his family’s resort a mess. But it is not a total disaster – Brie is next door and as beautiful as ever. He talks her into helping him refurbish The Kessler Resort, but first she lays out the ground rules: they aren’t friends, they’ll never be lovers, and she’ll never stop hating him. As far as Carter is concerned, it’s a start.
But as summer heats up, so does their relationship. As they peel back the layers, what will they find hiding beneath the surface? Can what they started all those years ago be restored, or are some things better left buried in the past?

Veterinarian Sara Arden made a mistake when she was a sixteen-year-old girl. The mistake wasn’t in falling in love with rancher Lloyd Dawson. It wasn’t even in getting pregnant. Sure, that part could have waited, but the mistake was in never telling him she had his daughter. Now, thirty-two years later, she’s back in Aspen Cove with her daughter, Reese. And this time, there won’t be any denying the truth.
Lloyd Dawson had lost a lot over the years. He’d had two great loves in his life—Sara Arden, who’d left him thirty-two years ago without a word, and Carol, who died in his arms several years ago. One was never coming back, but the other is sitting right there in front of him. But all he can see is the woman sitting next to her—the younger woman who is staring right back at him with eyes just like his. With betrayal twisting in his gut, Lloyd knows he’ll never be able to forgive Sara for robbing him of watching his child grow up.
When things go bad at the ranch, and Lloyd needs a veterinarian, Sara is his only choice. Will his crisis give her the chance she needs to make things up to him? Or will it be just another opportunity for her to betray him?
