Alaska Nights by Debbie Macomber
Location: north of the Arctic Circle. Population: 150 (mostly
men!). But the three O'Halloran brothers, who run a bush-plane charter
service called Midnight Sons, are heading a campaign to bring women to
town.
Daddy's Little Helper
Mitch Harris is
a friend of the O'Hallorans, and he's responsible for law and order in
Hard Luck. He's also the widowed father of a little girl—although he
never talks about his marriage. But it's not long before seven-year-old
Chrissie decides that her new teacher, Bethany Ross, is the perfect
candidate for wife and mom!
Because of the Baby
Matt
Caldwell, Charles O'Halloran's brother-in-law, is an easygoing charmer,
and still in love with his ex-wife. Karen's still in love with him,
too. Her reaction to him the night of his sister's wedding certainly
proved that. It also left her pregnant… Now Matt wants her to marry him again—and not just because of the baby!

Olivia Lockhart
Cedar Cove, Washington
Dear Reader,
You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends and neighbors. Come and hear their stories—maybe even their secrets!
I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather…difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.
Here's an example. I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In my mother's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work—and I actually agreed. So I rendered my judgment: Divorce Denied.
Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of ), everyone's talking.
Cedar Cove—people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!
See you soon…

Dreamcatcher
Dreamcatcher by Stephen King (Contains Affiliate Link)
Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry (site of the classics "It" and "Insomnia)," four boys stood together and did a brave thing. Certainly a good thing, perhaps even a great thing. Something that changed them in ways they could never begin to understand.Twenty-five years later, the boys are now men with separate lives and separate troubles. But the ties endure. Each hunting season the foursome reunite in the woods of Maine. This year, a stranger stumbles into their camp, disoriented, mumbling something about lights in the sky. His incoherent ravings prove to be dis-turbingly prescient. Before long, these men will be plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past -- and in the Dreamcatcher.Stephen King's first full-length novel since "Bag of Bones" is, more than anything, a story of how men remember, and how they find their courage. Not since "The Stand" has King crafted a story of such astonishing range -- and never before has he contended so frankly with the heart of darkness. (From Amazon.com product listing)

Full House
Full House by Janet Evanovich (Contains Affiliate Link)
Filled with Evanovich's trademark style and wit, Full House is romantic suspense with a twist...
Her life was pleasant, proper, and predictable-- until he showed up and trouble moved in...
Polo instructor Nicholas Kaharchek senses danger the minute he sees Billie Pearce. She represents everything he's so artfully avoided. Happy in her home life, a divorced mother of two, Billie is the epitome of stability. They have nothing in common.
To his horror, Nick is fascinated-- and irresistibly attracted. When Billie generously offers to share her home with Nick's crazy cousin Deedee for a while, Nick finds himself visiting-- often. And while each is slowly seduced by the other's charms, and both are wildly encouraged by devious Deedee, Billie and Nick find out that what they have in common is most important of all. But neither one knows that danger is lurking where they least expect it and a killer is closing in on them. (From Amazon.com product listing.)

Committed
Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who’d been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous bad divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which—after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing—gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert’s trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to “turn on all the lights” when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert’s memoir is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails. (From Amazon.com product listing)
