Hideaway Harbor

Workaholic Lillian Mahoney has given everything to her job. The hugely popular lifestyle show she helped create monopolizes her time, energy, creativity, and anything remotely resembling a life. But all it takes is the show's womanizing, egomaniac star throwing a massive hissy on live TV to utterly implode Lillian's career in a New York minute. Now Lillian's hiding out in the gorgeous and completely unknown seaside village of Blink, Maine. Out of gas. A stolen wallet. A broken heel. And worse, she's somehow managed to completely piss off the town's resident hunk, Caleb Wright. She'll show that hot, grumpy, single father exactly what she's made of. But Blink isn't quite what Lillian expects, and neither is Caleb... or his feisty teen daughter she can't help but love. And while her entire life and career are in shreds, Lillian might just discover what happens when she gives her bad first impression a second chance... Contains mature themes.

Jack Winston may be Hollywood's biggest action hero, but he's seriously burned out. He can't even save himself from his PR team's latest scheme: dating a starlet. But when his assistant accidentally tags Cassidy James from Blink, Maine, (wherever that is) on social media, the paparazzi decide that she's Jack's latest fling. Now Jack needs to do some serious damage control . . . starting with the adorable home reno pro in paint-splattered overalls. Cassidy is not prepared when the Jack Winston shows up in her quiet little town-and whew, he is that gorgeous in person. Before she can pick her jaw up off the floor, his PR team is bombarding them with a whole new plan involving "fake girlfriend," "optics," and "sign this NDA" (whatever that is). But no one warned her that Mr. A-List Action Star is hot, funny as all get out, and loves old houses as much as she does. Now they have two weeks to convince everyone they're in a fake relationship-two weeks that will drive Cassidy's reno business through the roof and help Jack reclaim his "spark." The plan is going fine, dare she say, perfectly . . . until she discovers something that will change everything. Contains mature themes.

What happens when a type-A small-town baker and a Hollywood lawyer collide? Whoopie… pies, for starters. Audrey Nouel didn't swap Manhattan's Michelin stars for Maine's whoopie pies just to fall for a man who wears thousand-dollar suits like pajamas.
