Suamalie Shores

Do you have to give God two weeks' notice when you quit the ministry? After a lifetime of being her father's right-hand girl, Ezra gets a small taste of freedom during her friend's honeymoon visit to the Suamalie islands and decides enough is enough. All she needs is to find a replacement secretary, teacher, project manager, accountant... et cetera. In fact, what her father needs is a wife. Scott Keil intended to serve the Lord on St. Alyn Island for life. He just never intended to do it without his wife. So, when his daughter begins balking at being saddled with a ministry she never signed up for, he knows he needs to find a replacement for her. And well, she's right. A wife who loves organization and serving the Lord would be the perfect solution. But only one woman interests him and loves his ministry nearly as much as he does. Natalie Dershem-the event planner at St. Alyn's newest resort. Why did she have to be nearly as young as his daughter... and so intriguing? Enjoy this age-gap Christmas romance today.

Protecting her without her knowledge might get them both killed. Grief has held Eve "Kensi" Kensington captive long enough. Determined to move on after the death of her fiancé six years ago, Kensi moves to St. Alyn to help Ezra with the new boat book business. That there's a great therapist on the island is just a bonus. When the West Coast Agency learns that the former fiancée of a deceased informant is under the radar, Simon Garver is tasked to protect her-without her knowledge, if possible. Great. Listening in on her therapy sessions might be the worst thing he's ever had to do as an agent. Nope… scrap that. Falling for his client takes the cake. When Kensi learns Simon has been keeping secrets from her, she's done. Too bad the arrival of a guy sent to "take care of her" means she needs him. She'll cooperate until she's safe, toss the trust exercises her therapist has insisted on in the trash, and get back to her job on Ezra's boat. If only her heart would listen to the plan… Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.

All he wants to do is help people, but local women want to help themselves… to him! When Henri Tupuola returned to Suamalie to open his holistic mental health clinic, he had no idea what he was getting into. After ten years in Australia getting his degree and practical experience under his mentor, the locals had all but forgotten the quiet "boy" who had always made them feel like he could see right through them. Not anymore! The ladies of Lafoina are eager to meet the island's therapist and spend hours staring deeply into his eyes on their weekly dates… ahem, sessions. Desperate for relief, he hightails it down to The Title Wave and begs Ezra to order him a couple dozen copies of his own book. Yes, author copies would be cheaper, but he needs these things fast. Maybe if he hands out his book like an old-time quack handed out pills, the ladies will get the hint and leave him alone. But when he tells his troubles to Ezra (who's the therapist now?), and she jokes at how much her father would love to have people flocking to his "sessions" so to speak, Henri gets an idea that could save his sanity… if only Ezra will agree. Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.
