Bishop Mitchell is destined for baseball greatness - until an injury brings him home before he ever truly gets his shot. Now, he's biding time back in Cedar Point. Helping coach his high school team, hanging with friends...and, apparently, falling for his high school girlfriend all over again. Gabriela Ventura enjoys her small town life: a few close relationships, a thriving pottery business, and teaching ceramics is more than enough. So when the boy who broke her heart returns to town, the last thing she's interested in is rekindling a friendship. Or anything else. When Bishop and Gabi get partnered together at work, they cautiously take a trip down memory lane. The laughter, the banter, the chemistry...it's all just as good as they remember, and slipping back into their routine proves easier than either could have imagined. But what isn't easy is healing old wounds. With Bishop's days in Cedar Point counting down and their future uncertain once again, the two must decide: is what they share worth letting go of their regrets from the past? ___________________________________________ The Echo of Regret is book four in the Cedar Point series, a series of interconnected standalone romance novels following five siblings as they find their happily-ever-afters in a lakeside small town in the mountains.

>Andy Marshall has always loved the small town life. Things might be rough at the moment - the family business is struggling and his dad's health has taken a turn - but he's trudging forward. What he doesn't see coming is the attraction he feels towards his newest employee. Choosing to explore their instant chemistry, Briar and Andy embark on a no-strings ride they hope will provide a few things they each desperately need. Sweet friendship, sexy fun, and a chance to escape from a life that isn't going according to plan.

Something that feels a lot like falling in love.

Bellamy Mitchell is a meticulous planner. When her old flame returns to Cedar Point engaged, blowing apart her vision for the future, she claims to have a serious boyfriend. The problem? The first single guy she can think of is her brother's much older, closed-off best friend. Rusty Fuller likes to keep people at a distance. He's been through enough to know that letting anyone too close is a mistake, unless it's only for a little fun. What he definitely doesn't need is his best friend's little sister turning him into anyone's boyfriend, especially her own. For some reason, helping Bellamy is a challenge Rusty can't refuse, and he develops a reluctant soft spot for the woman beloved by everyone in town. She's too young, too innocent, but also too hard to resist. So he promises himself this fake dating gig is just that: fake. When Rusty and Bellamy find more in each other than either of them expected, they're faced with a difficult question. Is what they share too flawed to be real? Or did they stumble upon their own kind of perfect?
