Former Navy SEAL Brogan Rafferty has seen enough chaos and loss to last a lifetime. When he rolls into Bramble, Kentucky, with a precious baby girl in tow, it feels like the perfect starting point for a new and better life — one he hopes Pixie Nolan can be part of.

A single mom with a gentle heart, Pixie has a knack for seeing beyond tough exteriors. From the moment they meet outside the small lake house where he’ll be staying, her warmth disarms Brogan in ways the battlefield never could.

Part of the Wild Rose Point series — a collection of stories written by multiple authors, each in their own unique style and all set in and around the small town of Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast — The Accidental Christmas is a heartwarming romance about second chances, quiet bravery, and finding hope when you least expect it.

When retired police officer Hendrix Becker shuts down his quiet RV park to escape into solitude, he doesn’t expect anyone to stay behind. But Josephine Collins and her young son have nowhere else to go when danger from her past resurfaces.

What begins as a reluctant arrangement slowly turns into something deeper. As Josephine’s courage and her son’s laughter start to thaw Hendrix’s guarded heart, he must confront not only his own ghosts — but also the very real threat closing in on them.

One of Lori’s most popular books, When You Dare, also features her novella Hard Knocks, so you get a two-in-one bundle! Get your copy in your favorite e-reader format.

In When You Dare, professional mercenary Dare Macintosh lives by one hard and fast rule: business should never be personal. If a cause appeals to him and the price is right, he’ll take the mission he’s offered. But then the lovely Molly Alexander asks him to help her track down the men who’d had her kidnapped—and for the first time, Dare’s tempted to combine work with pleasure.

In Hard Knocks, it’s no wonder Harper Gates hasn’t been able to get her fling with Gage “Savage” Ringer out of her head. Months have passed since she laid eyes—or any other body parts—on him. Months without a word of contact… until, sidelined by injury, he comes back to town.
