When you're lost, sometimes the only place you can go is home.

Broken over the death of her fiancé, Molly leaves law school to return to her childhood home in North Carolina. Expecting to lay low until she can figure out what else to do with her life, she finds herself in the arms of her high school sweetheart, the boy who represents everything from the past she tried to leave behind.

Looking for an escape, she instead finds a way back to the girl she almost forgot existed and a future she never dreamed possible.

Home is where the heartache is... For Stormy Daigle, that's the way it's always been, and when she bolted from the Podunk town of Aubry, Maine ten years ago, she vowed to never come back. So when circumstances force her to return, she has only two goals in mind: (1) assist the ailing-yet-cantankerous old buzzard that is her father, and (2) get the hell out of dodge, ASAP! But an unlikely friendship with one man and the possibility of renewed love with another has Stormy seeing things in an entirely different light, and she begins to realize that the biggest problem of all may be her own small-mindedness! But just when she starts to believe in new dreams and second chances, a secret from her past emerges that threatens to destroy everything. Brian Lozier never liked Stormy Daigle and her snooty, better-than-all-of-this attitude, so when it turns out to be her very fine ass that he rescues from a car wreck one summer night, he's less than thrilled with his fate. Still, her father is a friend, and Brian's mother raised him right, so he has no choice but to help her out. Besides, she's easily riled, and it's kind of fun watching her get all worked up and flustered, until she's got him feeling that way... about her! But a promise he made years ago has Brian torn between his heart and his integrity; and interference from Stormy's scheming ex-boyfriend once again pits Brian against his archrival over the affections of a woman. But this time, Brian is determined to come out on top.

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...

Clementine have always felt like something was missing in her life, a feeling she couldn't quite comprehend, but she paid it no mind. All was well as she had begun to settle down back at home, to the humble little town of Ashford where she'd grown up, when a peculiar occurrence befell upon her. She had fallen into a misadventure in time - faced with the familiar façade of her hometown but through a different lens of time - and she must navigate her way through the unfamiliar era of early 19th century as she struggled with her own feelings and the truth that surrounded her.
