Maggie Campbell has been running away from her past for seven years. When she finally returns to her family's small farm for her grandmother's ninetieth birthday party, she meets the irritatingly handsome new neighbor and dislikes him immediately. So what if he's charming? His superior attitude and the way her family relies on him gets under her skin.
But when tragedy strikes and he's the only one who can help, the walls she's put up are tested. Maggie has no choice but to let her guard down and accept his offer. But can she let go of her reservations and allow her heart to trust again?
Will this runaway bride let her past dictate her future?
Maggie Campbell has finally found her happily-ever-after. With a promotion at work and her recent engagement to the handsome and rich Desmond Kinsley, what more could she possibly need?
But when his sister announces her own engagement and hints at a double wedding, Desmond refuses to give his blessing. Now stuck in the middle of the family drama, the last thing she needs is her fiancé’s ex-girlfriend showing up the night of her engagement party determined to start trouble.
Is the universe trying to warn her? Maggie has been abandoned many times before. Will Desmond be next? Can she still have it all, or will this bride-to-be run away? Before it’s too late, Maggie must overcome her dark past to have any hope of steadying her now-reluctant heart.
After a distasteful first meeting, and a rocky start to their romance, Maggie Kinsley has been happily married to Desmond for the last eleven months. And although she was often alone when he traveled for business, she rather enjoyed how he passionately greeted her when returning home.
So when he received a letter naming him as executor of a property that belonged to a deceased family friend and had to leave for a few weeks, Maggie should have been content as she kissed him goodbye. But there was something about the whole thing that made her uneasy. Why was Desmond so evasive with her when she asked him about the previous owner. And why had he insisted she not tell anyone of his plans to stay on the property. Maggie soon found the answers to her questions were more than just a woman's intuition, but rather something that not even her wildest, darkest fears could have foreseen.
After aging out of the orphanage she'd been raised in, Emma Stanton is determined to change her luck. But how? So when a chance meeting presents her with the opportunity to work at a remote women's only logging camp, how can she say no? She’ll be able to escape her past and start over.
Working as a Lumberjill presents Emma with danger and challenges, but nothing feels more terrifying than the fact she's falling for her boss, a smug, handsome, but intriguing man who makes her question whether love is worth the risk. Caught in a tug-of-war between self-preservation and her desires, Emma knows she must soon decide how far she is willing to go to have a chance at happiness beneath the evergreens.
