Sarah Mayberry

I just wanted to get my hands on his beans.

Four years ago, I had a ridiculous crush on my sister's boyfriend. But when they moved away together, I put Beck out of my mind and my heart. But now he's back, and roasting the best coffee in Vermont. I need to convince him to supply the Busy Bean. And I need more of those kisses we accidentally shared outside the coffee shop. He still makes my heart race faster than a triple shot of espresso.

She should be off limits, but instead she's pushing mine.

Her sister burned my life to the ground, so Haley Elliot is the last woman I should bring into my bed. Although our business relationship is giving way to something more than a fine grind. Neither of us can help ourselves. And what’s worse, I think I'm falling for her.

But it's a small town, and ours is a big secret. And when her sister blows back into town, suddenly the coffee isn't the only thing brewing . . .

Pregnant at forty-two? Back the cow up . . .

Harland Bull Eaton has lost many things—his first wife, his beloved mother, those three women he proposed to . . . Oh, and there was that time he almost lost the family dairy farm due to a scandal. He's losing faith in just about everything, especially love.

 

But one night, his friends give him a dare. Just buy that gorgeous redhead a drink. The big-city bombshell he's set his eyes on swirls him into a tailspin that lands them in bed for a one-night stand he's pretty sure he'll never forget. But this time he won't let his heart ride herd on his common sense.

 

Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink. Even less expected is when she raises that offer to "take me to bed, cowboy." She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong.

Turns out once won't be nearly enough. Won't ever be enough, feeling the way she does. But secrets and an unexpected surprise are a lot to handle . . . unless these two can break a trail to an unexpected happily ever after.

Love isn't always a cakewalk . . .

Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn't realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she's managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she's up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.

Holden St. James swears he isn't a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn't he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he's pretty sure he wouldn't be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it's time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world.

 

But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they're not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs—or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?

When Murphy Landon, the New York socialite, runs off to Vermont with her bruised reputation and stylish wardrobe in the trunk of a used car, it's the first time in her life she's dared to turn her back on her high-society parents.

Used to grabbing a gourmet coffee whenever the urge strikes, Murphy finds herself on the other side of the counter, fumbling strangers' orders . . . until a sinfully handsome thirty-three year old version of Ben Rooney from high school walks in.

The pair met years ago at boarding school and became friends, but only behind closed doors. After a prom night gone wrong, they'd gone their separate ways.

Now their circumstances are reversed. Ben is a successful surgeon. He's come a long way from his parents' humble maple syrup business. And Murphy is pouring his coffee? Is this a joke?

His first thought is that she should drive her gorgeous self right back to New York. His second one is deep concern. His third thought is he wants a do-over of prom night. A very adult one . . .

With plenty of secrets between them, copious pure maple syrup, and a hippy-dippy sidekick, Ben and Murphy are in for a wild and sticky ride.

Who does that sexy silver fox think he is, sitting in her spot in the Busy Bean Cafe?

Over forty, with zero filter, Rita Kaplan loves her coffee, her hiking boots, and her law practice. Life hasn't always been carefree, though, and Rita's past holds the scars of poor decisions after deep loss. She survived, though, and no smirky silver fox is going to get in the way of her happiness. Even if he knows how to use his drill, screwdriver, and every other tool in his box to tempt her . . . 

Former arson investigator Jake Drummond could add ex-con to his resume if he had one. Instead, he's serving the final year of his sentence on probation. This involves mandatory AA meetings, hosted by a feisty local attorney, and working on a renovation project, supervised by the same annoyingly attractive whirlwind, who also believes she owns the exclusive rights to a comfy couch in his new favorite coffee shop. Soon she's everywhere, including the few places she shouldn't be—like in his bed and in his heart.

Can opposites lower their walls and construct something everlasting . . . or will their connected past lead to demolition for two hearts in need of a rebuild?

Zeke Armstrong never imagined he'd be back in Vermont, but here he is, living in Colebury and trying to rehab an injury that could mean an early retirement from pro basketball. Running into his former classmate, Mallory Barrett, shouldn't be a distraction. It shouldn't mean anything, so why is he accidentally on purpose showing up at the coffee shop where the beautiful writer spends her time?

Mallory Barrett has met a guy. Well, she hasn't met him yet, except for on the dating app she almost refused to download. "Coby" sparks her interest and gets her jokes—and gives the romance-novel heroes she loves so much a full-court run for their money. When their first date doesn't work out, she decides to give him another shot . . . just as a man she despises reenters her life. While her interest in the mystery man on the app grows, she clashes constantly with Zeke in real life. She can't forgive him for humiliating her in high school, yet she can't deny she's drawn to him now.

She's somehow gone from confirmed bachelorette to the tie-breaker between two men. Meanwhile Zeke has a secret—one that will cost him the game if Mallory finds out . . .

The newest barista at the Busy Bean is about to steam the place up . . .

Former Marine Mason Rye can make a cappuccino with military precision, but he finds it much harder to serve up a smile. It's not that he doesn't like people. But he knows from experience that once you let someone in, it hurts like hell when you lose them. And Mason's lost too many people already.

So it's pretty damn inconvenient when his old Marine buddy shows up on Mason's goat farm with his younger sister in tow. Heather's work in Washington D.C. has turned dangerous, and she needs a safe place out of town.

Mason doesn't need a new roommate, especially not a pretty, single one who insists on rearranging his spice rack and giving his chickens cute names. Although there's no denying the haunted look in her blue eyes. Every time her fear shows its face, he wants to reach for her.

The problem is that she wants him, too. And when Mason breaks all his rules, they practically burn down his bed together. But her life is in D.C. And the threat against her is over.

Unfortunately, neither of their hearts is fireproof . . .

A moving second-chance romance where hope can turn history into a footnote.

Sasha Covey needs a rewrite. Or a really big eraser. Her past doesn't belong in the life she's trying to rebuild. Her future—and her recovery—depend on a fresh start. Moving to Colebury seems like the perfect test until Penley Brooks waltzes into the Busy Bean. The handsome veterinarian is just as charming as when she fell for him a decade ago. Memories come flooding back, and their connection is as potent as ever.

Trouble is, Sasha has good reason to keep her distance. Her recovery is still new, and the single dad has wounds of his own. After years of being an afterthought, Penley's goals are finally within reach. As much as she aches to reconnect, Sasha won't stand in the way of his dreams.

Somehow, that all melts away whenever she's with Penley. Together, dreaming is a little easier.

But dreams don't always survive in the real world. Not when the past comes knocking.
