Gossamer Falls Series by Tara Wyatt

Adam Shephard is not in a rut. So what if he’s forty, single, and still running his family’s Inn? So what if he’s still grieving his father’s death and mourning the spectacular failure of his writing career? His life is perfectly fine, thank you very much. He’s not looking for love or a relationship, no matter what his nosy family thinks. Especially not with a writer from out of town. Which is fine, because bestselling author Hazel Woodward isn’t looking for love either... moreAdam Shephard is not in a rut. So what if he’s forty, single, and still running his family’s Inn? So what if he’s still grieving his father’s death and mourning the spectacular failure of his writing career? His life is perfectly fine, thank you very much. He’s not looking for love or a relationship, no matter what his nosy family thinks. Especially not with a writer from out of town. Which is fine, because bestselling author Hazel Woodward isn’t looking for love either. She’s just looking for an escape, which is how she winds up in Gossamer Falls, a town where magic feels more than just make believe. With her deadline looming, Hazel has only a few weeks to submit the first hundred pages of her manuscript or forfeit her hefty advance—which might be a problem, because she’s been living off of it for the past two years. While getting divorced, losing her best friend to a heartbreaking betrayal, and dealing with the worst case of writers block ever known to man. Now, in the picturesque town of Gossamer Falls, while staying at the Shephard Inn, she's hoping she can put the past behind her and focus on her career. There’s a reason Adam doesn’t get involved with his guests, even ones with the most amazing brown eyes he’s ever seen. Even ones as gorgeous, smart, and talented as Hazel. Because in the end, they all leave. But there’s magic in the air, and he can’t watch Hazel struggle. Especially when he just might have the solution to her writer’s block. Too bad it might cost him his heart. less

Worse, I'm staring down an important deadline while tackling the worst writer’s block of my career. I need a change, and fast, so I put New York City in my rearview mirror and head north to the picturesque small town of Gossamer Falls. Two weeks of peace and quiet—just what I need to get out of my head and finish this book. I’m expecting to spend my days staring at my laptop and exploring the tourist town, but I’m wholly unprepared for the hotel’s owner—sexy, sweet, charming Adam Shephard. I should be focused on my overdue manuscript, not Adam’s sinful eyes and muscled arms. Or how his wavy hair falls across his forehead. Or the way his deep voice makes me feel things I haven’t felt in a very long time—which shouldn't matter to me, because Adam is not rebound material. He's sworn off love, and dating. He's a distraction I cannot afford to indulge in. But when I visit the allegedly magical falls, things start to happen. Things like Adam kissing the absolute daylights out of me and waking up something I thought my divorce had permanently smothered. After two weeks in this sleepy little town, I know I’m in trouble. I can’t get enough of Adam Shephard—his laugh, his body, his gloriously dirty mouth. ​​​​​​​. But my life is elsewhere, and I don’t belong in Gossamer Falls. Even if it’s exactly where my heart wants to stay. less

As a single dad and the Chief of Police in small town, he doesn’t have time to date, which is just fine with him. He’s not looking for love. Especially not with a woman from the city who’s just as jaded about love and relationships as he is. Rosalie Crawford isn’t looking for love, either. Ever since her father walked out on her and her mother, leaving deep scars, she’s known that living happily ever after is nothing but a fairytale. She only does short-term and casual when it comes to men. When she gets stuck in Gossamer Falls for the night after scouting the location for a music video shoot, she doesn’t think twice about spending the night with gorgeous and sweet Jack Shephard. After one night with Rosalie, however, Jack can’t help but wonder if there might be more there. When Rosalie’s boss, pop music superstar Carrie Clark, decides to shoot her latest music video in Gossamer Falls, Jack and Rosalie will have a chance to reconnect. But there’s something he’s failed to mention, something that might throw a wrench into his plans with Rosalie—he’s a single dad to an eleven-year-old daughter. As much as Rosalie likes Jack, finding out about his daughter puts things in a different light. Relationships are risky enough, and with a kid involved…it’s all so much more complicated. But one night under the famous—and possibly magical—Gossamer Falls just might change everything, for both of them. Because in Gossamer Falls, magic lurks around every corner, just waiting to be discovered. less
