When Britt Conway was eighteen, she left Blue Harbor without a glance back, telling herself that she was closing the door to her painful past for good. But when her father takes a fall and needs her help to oversee the family business until he is back on his feet, Britt can’t refuse, especially when her current unemployment status gives no room for excuses.Britt knows that returning to her hometown won’t be easy, but does it really need to be so difficult? Her widowed father is smitten with his pushy caregiver, her youngest sister doesn’t seem to be speaking to her at the moment, and everyone conveniently failed to mention that her first (okay, only) love is back in town and working at her family’s orchard. With the business struggling, Britt and Robbie come together to give it a better chance for the future—and find their own second chance along the way. For years, Britt was determined to harden her heart, but the more time she spends in Blue Harbor, the more she realizes that some traditions—and people—are not meant to be forgotten.

The response to the MacKenzie Brothers Novellas has been overwhelming, and I can't tell you how much it warms my heart that you fell in love with this family. I've decided to revisit each of the brothers because of all the wonderful emails I've received over the past couple of years asking, "What happens next?" Back Cover Blurb:Dane MacKenzie has made mistakes, but despite them all, he's reconnected with the woman he's always loved and the son he never knew he had. But things haven't gone the way he hoped. Charlotte still hasn't set a wedding date, and he's a stranger to his son. The only thing Dane wants for Christmas is for them to be a real family. A carefully planned seduction, an old legend, and a family that never gives up on each other will give Dane the chance to get his Christmas wish.

    I made no apologies for my possessive, territorial side. I was a grizzly bear shifter, after all. It was my nature to be over the top. -BEARly Mated to the Grizzly (Book 2) I decided to get away from it all, go out in the middle of nowhere to clear my head and focus on what was important.
Things were going great until a bear was at my back door, trying to get in. And it ended with me wielding a knife for protection and realizing it wasn’t just any bear, but a shifter who claimed to be my mate.
 Maddix.
 -The BEARly Tamed Grizzly (Book 3) I didn’t know her, what she looked like, where she was, but I knew my mate was out there. And it was that truth that had me saving myself for her. Only her. If I couldn’t fully give myself over to my fated mate, what kind of worthy male was I? 
But staying in town, hidden deep within the forest, wouldn’t bring my mate to me. I had to go and find her.
 I had to make her mine.
 -The BEARly Reluctant Grizzly (Book 4) When Asher showed up on my doorstep during a storm, soaking wet, looking feral, telling me he’d tried to stay away but couldn’t, I knew one thing for certain. These weren’t just idle feelings I was having.
 This was what it felt like to be mated.
 -The BEARy Possessive Grizzly (Book 5) I devoted my life to working, building a career and business, making sure I was secure and stable in my life for the sole purpose that I’d find her, that everything would be ready and perfect for her.
 My mate.
 The one woman who would complete me.
The one woman who was born to be mine alone.
 -A BEARy Happily Ever After (Book 6) An alpha, bear-shifting virgin who was saving himself for his mate.
 That’s what I was. And I was fine with that, because saving myself for the one female who was meant to be mine was the only thing I ever wanted. 
A lone bear without a mate was a depressing thing. And even though I knew she was out there—the other half to my soul—I was beginning to think there was no happily ever after for me.
 Until I saw another male lusting after her. There was no way I could control myself. She was mine, and if that meant kicking the ass of the man who wanted her… then so be it.
 Rue would be mine.
