White Pine Island Stories, book 7

Can true love fit between the lines?

Writing murder-mysteries is Avery Stewart’s greatest thrill, and spending the summer as a writer in residence at the Grand Hotel is a dream working vacation. While she enjoys luxurious accommodations, she also has to face a looming deadline on the seventh book in her popular series. She can make the clues fall into place, but does she have any room in her writing schedule for handsome Ken Howell who owns the hardware store on White Pine Island?

Ken finds the island’s guest mystery author as fascinating as everyone else, but he’d like to know her as a person instead of just a writer. When he joins her for a night under the stars, they both realize there’s something between them that is far from fiction, but can a relationship compete with Avery’s deadline and her solitary writer’s lifestyle? Although he knows Avery plans to leave at the end of the summer, Ken won’t let Avery write him out until she’s given their love a chance.

At home on White Pine Island…

Veterinarian Andrew O’Connor wants nothing more than to stay in one spot. He’s ready to settle down, and White Pine Island is the perfect place to buy a home and build a future. When he meets Natalie Archer at a wedding, he can imagine a life with the lovely photographer filled with laughter, pets, and kids.

Natalie enjoys her no commitments lifestyle. Her three-month contract to take wedding pictures and digitize images for the Grand Hotel suits her perfectly. Yet, her desire to move on to a new adventure gets side-tracked by the handsome veterinarian and the romantic ambience of White Pine Island.

Andrew makes no secret of his love for her, but is that enough for Natalie to picture herself with him forever?
