Whisper Lake: Savage Brothers Series by Melanie Shawn

Book 1: Stay With You

Just when Chrissy Caldwell thought things couldn’t get any worse…
The past year had been a nightmare that resulted in Chrissy and her four kids moving into the dilapidated ranch-style she’d inherited—but she was trying to make the best of it. So when her neighbor, who evidently was a Zaddy, offered to help with renovations she figured, why not?

Ford Savage was used to life throwing him curve balls…

After raising twin girls as a single father and spending his days on construction sites, Ford was ready to live out his early retirement on his terms, which included solitude and fishing. His plans hit a snag when the abandoned house near him, was suddenly inhabited by a woman who resembles his childhood crush and her four kids. Best to keep his distance.

But could he?

Book 2: Had to Be You

Laura Lopez knew exactly what she wanted in life. A husband, two kids, and a white picket fence. She handled the white picket fence on her own; the hubby and kiddos, not so much. At thirty-five, she was done wasting time. Nothing was going to distract her from her goal. Not even a six-foot-four, tattooed, retired Navy SEAL.

Knox Savage knew exactly what he wanted in life. The freedom to live on his terms—no responsibilities, no worries. He was ready to live out his Hakuna Matata life.

After serving his country for twenty years, the retired Navy SEAL was footloose and fancy-free. Nothing was going to derail his plans. Not even a stunning, smart, Sofia Vergara look-alike.

Book 3: Crashing Into You

Kennedy Dawes knew her perfect partner was out there…

After years of being signed up to every matchmaking site known to man, as well as being set up, she was starting to lose hope. She’d even written down everything she was looking for in an attempt to manifest her Mr. Right.

Just one problem—she couldn’t get Mr. Wrong out of her mind.

Sebastian Savage had one true love…tattooing. He’d lost that love six months ago and wasn’t sure he’d ever get it back.
After waking up in the hospital after a car crash, Seb was told by doctors he may never recover. That was a life sentence for Seb. Being a tattoo artist was his life. He needed it more than oxygen. Or at least he had until he looked into blue eyes that were a beacon in the storm of his life.

Just one problem: He wasn’t the man she deserved, and he’d be damned if he let her settle.

Book 4: Because of You

Keaton Savage will do anything for his family—even star in a reality TV dating show. Following a night downing a little too much Jack Daniel’s, Keaton wakes up to the news that “he’s the next contestant on Fairytale Love”. Imagine his surprise, since he has no memory of agreeing to be on the dating show.

Upon investigation he finds his niece, who is a PA on said show, is the “source” who leaked the casting news to impress her boss, the show’s producer. Does he want to go on the show? No. Is it a sacrifice he’s willing to make to help his niece? Apparently so.

When his selfless act brings him face to face with the sexy redhead who ghosted him five years earlier and has haunted his dreams ever since, he wonders if fate is giving him a second chance at real love.

Avery Stone will do anything to have the family she never had—even marry a man she doesn’t love. Or at least that was the plan until her wedding day when she knew she couldn’t do it. After asking her deceased Gammy for a ‘sign’, she receives news that the newest cast member of Fairytale Love just happens to be the man she shared the best two weeks of her life with five years earlier and has loved ever since.

Having called off the wedding, she gets another ‘sign’ that leads her back to where she spent the best two weeks of her life with a man who is now going on a reality dating show to find love. Fresh start? Or maybe a do-over.

The Grazier’s Son by Cathryn Hein

When helicopter pilot Stirling Hawley travels to Grassmoor in Victoria’s lush Western District to claim an inheritance, he doesn’t expect to face a town that hates him.

Nor does he anticipate being saved from near-death by glamorous vintage clothing designer Darcy Sloane. Or that she’ll take a personal interest in his recovery. But Grassmoor and Westwind, the historic mansion Stirling inherited from the father he never knew, prove full of surprises.

The more Stirling digs into his father’s life, the more uneasy he becomes. Behind Dougal Kildare’s respectable stock agent and farmer veneer was a man of secrets. While the fraud that devastated the community and led to Dougal’s tragic death is one, there are others. And such things never stay buried forever…

As Stirling’s suspicions about Dougal’s death grow, danger creeps ever closer. Until it’s not only Stirling’s life in peril but the woman he’s come to love.
