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.

When Wade and Ginny come together on beautiful White Pine Island for the filming of The Heiress and Her Love, the stage is set for an unexpected prior attraction to develop. Even though they are both masters of illusion in their work, the emotions between them are undeniably real. All signs point to a happy ending until Wade’s ambitions get in the way of their love, causing him to break off their relationship. Can Wade stage a scene to re-capture Ginny’s heart?

Can true love steal the show?

Della Stratford has found her home on White Pine Island. No longer tagging along with her professional athlete brother, she has her own life and loves her freedom as much as the island air and the elegant Grand Hotel where she works part time. Never again does she want to be a footnote in someone else’s life, but when a movie crew shows up to film a historical romance at the hotel, Della finds leading man Byron Campbell hard to resist.

Byron Campbell has travelled the world and enjoyed the lifestyle of a Hollywood action hero and leading man. Serious about his craft, he has few regrets about his path. However, when he takes the professional risk of starring in a period piece at the elegant Grand Hotel on White Pine Island, he has no idea that acting in a film set a century earlier will bring him face to face with the beautiful Della—who may be his best chance for future happiness.
