(Books 2.5 & 3.5) THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE A story of love, moving on, and a dog named Louie Veterinarian Holly Thompson accepts a temporary position in Comfort Crossing in an effort to escape all things Christmas. What she finds is a small town that embraces all things Christmas and a handsome neighbor with a small son who both capture her heart. Add to that their adorable pup, and she knows the holidays are not going to be what she planned. At all. Steve Bergeron is quite content being a single father. He’s not willing to risk his heart — or his son’s — on another woman who is sure to leave them. It’s quite clear Holly will be gone by the new year. But he finds himself willing to do anything to chase away the sadness that lurks in the depths of Holly’s eyes. This isn’t part of his carefully laid out plans. At all.

But there is no use in acting on those feelings, she’s soon to head back to her fabulous career in Nashville. Right? Then a stranger comes to town and has Missy re-examining her dreams. She gets one final chance at stardom, and her life-long wish is within her grasp. Is there really magic in the stranger’s scarf, or is it in the power of knowing her heart’s true wish?

All I can remember from that awful time years ago is that if he hadn't come along when he did...it makes me sick just to think about it. At the time, I knew that I would leave and never see him again and I'd never find a way to repay him for what he had done for me. So I gave him the most precious gift that I had to give ... Knox: If you would have asked me back then would I have spent a decade searching for some random woman I'd met on a train; a beautiful woman with equally beautiful, different-colored eyes, I would have told you that you were crazy. No, better yet, I probably would've said you were more than f**king crazy, more like certifiably insane. I can't explain it but when she looked at me with that pain in her eyes, she trapped the hell out of my heart. And after what happened that night, that amazing night we shared on that train, I could have easily spent the rest of my life looking for her, if only to get to touch her one more time.

    After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too. This is difficult enough, but Cassie’s tag along ex-boyfriend and her friend’s bratty sister have a knack for making everything, even the apocalypse, more unpleasant. When the two attract a threat as deadly as the undead to their safe haven, Cassie’s forced to see how far she’ll go to protect those she loves. And it’s a lot farther than she’d anticipated. This, coupled with Adrian’s distant voice on Safe Zone Radio and, of course, the living dead, threaten to put Cassie right back into the funk she just dragged herself out of.

And to do that, Cassie has to find faith that she’s stronger than she thinks, she’s still a crack shot and true love never dies.
