Lilac Harbor Series by Shaw Hart

Arlowe. “I think that there’s been some kind of mix up. ”. That’s my first clue that my stay in Lilac Harbor isn’t going to go according to plan.

That’s my first clue that my stay in Lilac Harbor isn’t going to go according to plan. There’s been a mistake with my rental booking and now instead of having the charming little bungalow on the shore all to myself, I’ve got a not so charming roommate. Yates Warner. He’s a grump in every sense of the word, but there’s something about the guarded translator that tugs at my heartstrings. I’m determined to make the best of this situation, and who knows? Maybe my grumpy giant and I can even be friends. Yates. Yeah, we’re definitely never going to be friends. Arlowe Mitchell is too sweet for a grouchy loner like me. She’s too friendly, too generous, and way too optimistic. Also, way too tempting. The more time I spend with her, the more I want her. When she tells me about the newest book her book club is reading and says how she always wanted to have a summer fling like the characters, I finally get my opening. A four-week fling. No strings attached and we part at the end of the month to go our separate ways. The only rule we have is to not get attached. I thought it would be a piece of cake to follow but the more time I spend around my new roomie, the more I realize that I’m in real trouble of breaking our one and only rule. less

Auden. Opening my own design firm in Lilac Harbor was hard, but things are finally starting to break my way. Then I meet my new neighbor and the bane of my existence. Wade Collins. He's a grumpy jerk. He's also my partner for a big remodel that I've been hired for. Working with Wade is going to be difficult, but nothing that I can't handle. Except, the more time that I spend with him, the more that I start to like him. Maybe by the end of this project we can even be friends. Wade... moreAuden.

We got off on the wrong foot though, and I never managed to fix it. Now we're working together and I know that this is my chance to finally win my girl over. She want to be friends and bury any hatchets, which is a good start, but I want more. I want all of her. I just need to figure out how to make her mine. less

Lena. Holden James was my everything—my first love, my future, or so I thought. When he left after our high school graduation, he shattered my heart, and I promised myself I’d never look back. Now, he’s returned to Lilac Harbor, acting like he can waltz back into my life as if nothing happened. He says he can explain, but I won’t listen. I’m stronger now, smarter. I’m not the girl who once believed in forever with him. He broke me once, and I’ll be damned if I let him do it again. Holden... moreLena.
