A new beginning, an island full of possibilities, and an inheritance with a condition—can three strangers discover what truly makes a family? When Alli inherits one of three neighboring seaside cottages on Mendocino Island, she knows it’s her chance for a new beginning. But there’s a catch: she must stay for at least three years—and build a family. With a baby in her arms and a wounded heart, Alli isn’t sure if she’s ready to trust again. But Mendocino Island, with its breathtaking beauty and charming coastal small-town community, might just be the perfect place to start over and find a second chance at love and happiness. As three sisters—each with her own hidden struggles—settle into their new homes, they find that new love, old secrets, and unexpected friendships await. Can they heal and form the bond they were meant to share, or will the past keep them apart?

Revisit this classic novel by New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak. Seventeen-year-old Hope Tanner found a sanctuary in the town of Enchantment, New Mexico, after scaping—pregnant and alone—from the polygamous community she grew up in, located in Superior, Utah. In Enchantment, Hope is given a second chance when the birthing clinic handles the private adoption of her baby. A baby she never stopped thinking about. Now, ten years later, Hope is reliving history with her younger sister Faith, who is now pregnant and scaping from the same town. Hope knows her sister can find safety in the same birthing clinic she gave birth years ago, but not everyone is happy to see her again. Parker Reynolds—the birth center’s administrator and a widowed single father—is carrying a big secret, and Hope’s presence in the town threatens the stability he has built for himself and his son. When Hope gets a job at the birthing clinic, Parker is confronted. But will the attraction he feels towards Hope be greater that the need to maintain his secret? Previously published.

A new year brings new challenges … and the chance to make a dream come true. Melinda expects to spend January lounging by her farmhouse’s fireplace, paging through the seed catalogs’ promises of spring. After all, the slower pace of rural life was one of the reasons she’d left the city behind. Instead, she must face her fears when the worst of winter’s threats arrive at her door. Braving blizzards to care for her animals, thawing her acreage’s water lines, and anxiously watching over the pregnant sheep in her barn fill her shorter days and longer nights. She trudges on because Horace’s offer stands firm: He’ll sell her the farm in the spring if she still wants to stay. But as winter tightens its grip on the heartland, Melinda's biggest challenges are still to come. When a series of events threatens to break her heart and shatter her hopes, can she find the courage to see the season through?
