The Gold Digger by Melissa McClone

Real estate agent Cambria Baker needs to make a sale, or she’ll be homeless. So, when her broker asks her to do a showing on Mount Hood, Cambria jumps at the chance. The only problem? The buyer is as gruff as he is gorgeous and not impressed with her or the dilapidated cabin.

Sweet Afternoon
Willen Hawkins knew exactly what she wanted to do with her unexpected inheritance: use it to fix up the Indigo Inn at Blueberry Beach.

After all, it’s been more than eighteen years since she graduated from Blueberry Beach High and left town.

The life she’s created for herself is far more lonely than the life she’d envisioned for herself as a teen. But if she wants to reinvent herself and start building the life she wants, she has to stop waiting for everything to be perfect and start now.

Drake Jensen wants to disappear.

Hiding out at a newly opened inn that no one has heard of before and getting a job as a laborer should keep his identity under wraps.

He’s not staying.

But he hadn’t planned on the town being so supportive nor on falling in love with a woman who is determined to make him her enemy.

Can Willen learn that she doesn’t need to be perfect in order to be loved? Will Drake be able to choose between Hollywood and the new life that could be his

Although she admires Shawn’s courage and willingness to help, Bridget doesn’t welcome his aid.


What if the locals are right? What if she is bad luck? She’s not willing to risk Shawn’s life and prove them right.


Then Shawn makes a very public surprise announcement. Will it solve Bridget’s problems, or break both their hearts?

He has a history of rescuing women. She’s fresh out of a bad relationship and doesn’t want any man to take care of her.


Izabella Reed got on a bus and headed to New York with the intention of vanishing from her abusive ex-fiancé. She promised she would never trust a man again, especially if he had money. Living off the grid was the only way to protect herself, but it came with a few complications. She needed a place to stay without putting her name on a lease. When a woman offers her free rent to go on a blind date with a handsome billionaire, she accepts because she has few options.

Sebastian Chambers may have money and looks, but he has a soft spot for vulnerable women, and that often gets him into trouble. His therapist says he likes to rescue people because of deep-rooted issues in his past, so he knows he has to stay away from damsels in distress.

But then he meets Izabella, and everything changes. On paper, they would never work, but can they overcome their fears to find a love that conquers all?

*This is a contemporary Christian romance with strong Biblical themes and Bible references.
