Always Dakota - Debbie Macomber

Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. A few years ago, this was a dying town. Now it’s come back to life!

People are feeling good about living here again — the way they used to. They’re feeling confident about the future. Stalled lives are moving forward. People like Margaret Clemens are taking risks on new ventures and lifelong dreams — on happiness. Margaret is a local rancher who’s finally getting what she wants most: marriage to cowboy Matt Eilers. Her friends don’t think Matt’s such a bargain; neither did her father. But Margaret’s aware of Matt’s reputation and his flaws. She wants him anyway. And she wants his baby...

A Cold Creek Reunion - RaeAnne Thayne

He was the one you called when you needed rescuing...

But who was Taft Bowman going to call when he needed help? Because ten years ago, Laura Pendleton, the love of his life, had left town without a word, then or since. Now she was back, with a new last name — and two adorable, high-needs little ones in tow. Well, Taft had been stupid enough to let her go once before...he wasn’t about to make the same mistake again. He’d never stopped loving her — and one look at those adorable little faces and he knew that he was meant to be with Laura and her kids forever. All he had to do was convince her that this time he was a man she could count on!

The Promise - Sharon Sala

Single mum Libby Farraday has been raising her son as best she can. Hard as it is sometimes, she knows that her loneliness is her own fault, since Sam Holt, her son’s father, and the man who broke her heart for good, doesn’t even know Sammy exists. After an accident puts everything into question, can reaching out to her long-lost love help them all become a family?
