California Dreamin' Collection (A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 11)
Dust Jacket:
Six brand new contemporary romance novellas with bestselling and award winning authors.
In the sweet novella TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE by Heather B. Moore, Gwen
uses her wedding photography business to keep her life simple and focus
on something other than her own broken heart. When Jack, a guy too
handsome for his own good, helps her clean up after a photoshoot, then
asks her out, she doesn’t know if she can handle dating again. But
Jack’s charm wins her over, and she agrees to meet him for dinner. The
more she gets to know Jack, the more she likes him, but everything about
him seems too good to be true.
GONE FISHING, a charming novella by Kaylee Baldwin, follows Claire
as she tries to convince her dad to leave his start-up company as a boat
guide and come back home to Colorado. He’s the only one who can defend
Claire against her domineering mother. But when she arrives at the San
Diego harbor, she’s met with more than one surprise. First, that her dad
is truly living his dream and has never been happier, and second, she’s
unexpectedly attracted to his business partner, Miguel.
In THE PIER CHANGES EVERYTHING, an enchanting novella by Annette
Lyon, Alexandria has one last task to perform for her late husband, who
died much too young: scatter his ashes in the Pacific Ocean. She goes to
the Santa Monica Pier to do just that, but her plans get sidetracked
after meeting Michael and feeling an immediate connection to him. They
grab lunch, and the more time they spend together, the more they
discover that they have in common—including past romantic hardships. As
the day wears on, Alexandria begins learn that her heart just might be
able to find love again.
In Jennifer Moore’s captivating novella A HERO’S SONG, AnneMarie’s
career as a romance novelist is skyrocketing and her agent books her on a
late night talk show. The host gets her to admit that she was in love
once, with a guitar player. Moments after her segment, Lance Holden
appears on the same stage, to perform his newest song. Is it a terrible
coincidence? AnneMarie hasn’t seen Lance ever since he broke her heart
ten years ago, and she has refused to think about him again. Their lives
are worlds apart, but as Lance tries to reconcile with AnneMarie, she
finds herself taking a second chance.
In STAY WITH ME, an endearing novella by Shannon Guymon, Jolie moves
to L.A. to take on a nanny position for the summer, since apparently
having a degree in art doesn’t translate to getting a job as a graphic
designer. When Fitz, the family’s chauffeur, picks her up at the
airport, she wonders if every man in LA is model-gorgeous. When Jolie
meets her two charges, she finds them adorable and needy. But it’s
harder to hold onto her job than she thought with a hostile Mrs. James
and her spoiled brother. Fitz becomes both the silver lining of her job
and the man who just might convince her to stay in L.A.
In the delightful novella, A PLACE TO CALL HOME, by Sarah M. Eden,
Ada is the best realtor around. The best. She prides herself in matching
each client with the house that will fit all of their needs. She hasn’t
failed yet. So when Craig hires her to find him the perfect condo for
him and his son, Ada is up for the challenge. What she may not be
prepared for is her unforeseen attraction to Craig, her immediate
attachment to his nine-year-old son, and her heart telling her that it’s
okay to take another chance.
