Rose Bend

Sydney Collins left the town of Rose Bend eight years ago, grieving her sister’s death and heartbroken over her parents’ rejection. But now she’s back - newly divorced and pregnant - ready to face her fears and make a home for her child in the community she once knew. The last thing she needs is trouble. Except trouble just walked in the door. Widower Coltrane is still grieving the loss of his wife and child. Until a chance run-in with Sydney and Cole finds himself drawn to her optimistic view of life.

When Nessa Hunt arrives in Rose Bend, she is looking for answers and her absent father. Not a picture perfect town teeming with Christmas cheer, or the innkeeper’s ruggedly sexy son, Wolfgang Dennison. The heat between her and Wolf is undeniable, and the festive merriment of the town is almost enough to make Nessa believe in the Christmas spirit. But with all lingering questions about her birth father, is there room in Nessa’s life for happy holidays and happily ever after?

Grieving ER nurse Nessa Hunt is on a road trip with her sullen teen half-sister, Ivy, and still reeling from her mother’s deathbed confession: Nessa’s dad wasn’t really her dad. Seeking answers, they arrive in Rose Bend to find a small town teeming with the kind of Christmas cheer Nessa usually avoids. But then she meets the innkeeper’s ruggedly sexy son, Wolfgang Dennison.

Leontyne Dennison is off men! She is perfectly happy focusing on running her family’s small town inn and volunteering for Rose Bend’s annual spring festival. Until a blast from her past sweeps into town.

Jenna Landon has spent her life aiming for perfection — and missing. The pressure and disappointment has been hard to deal with and she took it out on anyone in town, sealing her reputation as ‘mean girl’. She is ready to leave Rose Bend but first she must help her family with the town’s fundraiser and endure her new neighbour who seems to do everything possible to annoy her. Isaac Hunter didn’t mean to disturb his neighbour with his music. But if anyone could use ‘messing with,’ it’s prissy, perfect, sexy Jenna Landon. But soon their clashes turn into something hotter.

Flo Dennison doesn’t regret her one night with a stranger. He’s a distraction to everything going wrong in her life. And she’ll never see him again. Except she does! Turning up to work she finds herself face to face with the company’s new architect…and now her biggest mistake! For single dad Adam Reed, Flo Dennison spells trouble. She may be beautiful, but she is also young and ambitious. She’s a complication he doesn’t want. But when circumstance forces them together, both realise there is more to ‘complication’ than they first thought.
