WHAT THE HEART REMEMBER MOST
by; M. Ullrich
Fate will find a way to intervene when it's least expected.
Jax Levine and Gretchen Mills fell madly in love in college and never looked back. They built a great life together, but careers, a baby, and years of mounting tension later, they are living separate lives and their once-grand love is forgotten.
After an accident, Gretchen suffers a brain injury that erases years of her memories. She wakes in the hospital with Jax at her side and everything seems normal...except Jax won't look her in the eye and their baby boy is now a rambunctious toddler. Every line drawn between Jax and Gretchen starts to blur while Gretchen fights to figure out which of her most haunting recollection are real, and which are fake.
Is it possible for this accident to be the second chance neither Jax nor Gretchen knew they wanted?
FACE THE MUSIC

When the biggest record label in Nashville hands her a new client, country music royalty, Sophie Roddy, Mason's reluctant to take on a problem diva whose excessive lifestyle almost ruined her career, but can't turn down the challenge.
Victoria Roddy has lived in Sophie Roddy's shadow for so as long as she can remember. Being her mother's assistant is more than a job description...
It's her life. Now arrogant and aggravating Mason thinks she can turn Sophie's career around, but Victoria doesn't believe Mason's ridiculous demands and exhaustive schedule are what her mother needs right now.
Mason and Victoria have to work together, so it's really too bad they can't stand each other, and even worse that they can't seem to deny their attraction.

THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK

Taylor Winslow has been in love with Julia since tenth grade. Not the desperate, pinning sort, but the kind that never really went away. When Julia reappears, Taylor has a chance to finally win her heart. The only problem? Julia's hell-bent on making up for lost time by dating every eligible lesbian in town.
Signing on as Julia's wingman may land Taylor in the friend zone for good, but it's a gamble she's willing to take. With Taylor in her corner, will Julia find love, and herself, where she least expects it?
GILLETTE PARK
Gillette Park, a sleepy town nestled in the Rocky Mountain, harbors a secret.
Twenty-three years ago, a young girl went missing. Two days later her body was found lodged beneath the footbridge over Boulder Creek. The murder shook the town but they soon found it was only the beginning. A serial killer hides among them-a serial killer who strikes twice, sometimes three times a year.
Mason Cooper couldn't wait to leave Gillette Park. At eighteen, she headed off to college and the bright lights of Los Angeles, thinking she'd never return home to the broken family and forgotten friendships she'd left behind. But being a cop in LA lost its charm and-after a breakup-Mason heads back to her hometown. The serial killer still haunts Gillette Park and she becomes consumed with catching him. Dr. Grace Jennings has what some call a gift. She "sees" things. She "hears" things. Running from that gift was useless so she learned to embrace it instead. Now the FBI has solicited her help in catching the serial killer.
Not everyone in this mountain town has embraced the idea of bringing a psychic, including Mason's uncle and boss, Sheriff Cooper. Mason is tasked with being the go-between and soon finds herself with a front-row seat as Dr . Jennings discovers the dark -and well-hidden secrets of Gillette Park.
As Mason and Grace's friendship grows, so does their attraction. But safety lies only with each other, as they battle the evil that lives in Gillette Park.
THOSE WHO WAIT
Sutton Spencer's idea for her life was fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great too.
Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite. She's always had clear steps outlining her path to success with no time or inclination for romance. Her burgeoning career in politics means everything to her and she's not willing to compromise it for something as insignificant as love. Fleeting, casual, and discreet worked perfectly fine.
When they meet through a dating app, it's immediately clear that they aren't suited for anything more than friendship. Right?
AND THEN THERE WAS HER
For Madison Jones, there has always been her life in Denver. There has always been her girlfriend, Kacey. There has always been her best friend, her studio, and her pottery. She has everything in her life exactly in place. But after the loss of her brother, Madison feels unsure about her own future. When Kacey is offered a new job in Oregon, Madison jumps at the opportunity to follow her.
While Kacey works to open a new restaurant at Minerva Hills Winery, Madison sets up her art studio on the property. But constantly in Madison's path is the owner and winemaker, CS Freeburn. CS is a serious as they come and seems unlikely to warm to either Kacey or Madison.
Though their initial interactions are awkward -if not downright nerve-wracking-the more they cross paths and the more Madison gets to know CS, the more Madison craves those little moments with the standoffish winemaker.
How could she have known that those encounters would begin to threaten the carefully structured life that Madison has built?
