I always thought love was black and white. You meet the girl and within the first meeting you'd know if she's the one. You live happily ever after. My concept was a little off, but it worked for me.

She's everything. Everything I thought I wanted, and everything I never thought I would. Now that I've found her, it's time to build our future.

“Surprise me.” The words fell from my lips before I even realized what I was saying. Didn’t matter, though, they were true. I’m ready to start our forever. I want the future he and I have spent hours talking about, but I’ve never had the courage to reach out and grab it. Now I do. I knew on our first date: She was the girl I was going to marry. I told her so every chance I could get. Even went as far as asking more times than I can count, but never on one knee. I knew that she wasn’t ready, but I needed her to know that I was.

Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games.

Maddie Conway has always dreamed of opening her own bakery, but following in the footsteps of her three successful sisters is turning out to be a lot of pressure. Overwhelmed and behind schedule, Maddie agrees to let her father’s girlfriend lend a hand, until she realizes that help has come in the form of shameless matchmaking. Now Maddie is stuck with Blue Harbor’s resident bad boy as her contractor, and before long he’s putting more questions into her mind than whether the walls should be blue or yellow…

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. Everyone conveniently failed to mention that her first (okay, only) love is back in town and working at her family’s orchard. The two come together to give it a better chance for the future—and find their own second chance.
