Four women. One mountain town. Four different routes to the same discovery. Alpine Ridge sits two hours deep in the Washington Cascades — population small, gossip abundant, and apparently impossible to leave once it gets hold of you. Over four books, four women arrive expecting to pass through, but instead find home. Tough LoveMia Anderson has spent five years as a divorce lawyer at her father's firm, watching people who once promised each other forever fight over the house, the dog, and — on one memorable occasion — a donated kidney. Then her parents pull her off her first vacation in eight years to look after her grandmother's cabin up the mountain. Gran turns out to be nowhere near as frail as advertised, and remarkably resourceful about finding reasons Mia needs to be around Nate Edwards. She came out of obligation. Staying is a decision only she can make. Recklessly in LoveJoanie Morris got herself fired on purpose. She goes up to Alpine Ridge for the holidays to work out what comes next, and finds a community center director entirely uninterested in being impressed by her — plus a town with no budget, no protections, and a council that keeps voting down every attempt to incorporate. Which is interesting, because Joanie is a lawyer. And unincorporated towns don't have town councils. Together, they risk upending everything. Unscripted LoveCarrie Anderson has always been the dutiful daughter. Then she asks her parents for one thing and finds out exactly what their love has been contingent on. She arrives in Alpine Ridge with a master's in political science and no plan, and runs straight into Evan Edwards — sixteen years an action star, tired of living one invented story away from unemployable, and in town for his brother's wedding. Neither of them has any idea who they are when nobody's watching. They're about to find out. Elusive LoveRae Donovan is forty-six and has made her peace with how things turned out. Meanwhile, everyone in Alpine Ridge remembers how it ended with Luke McMillan thirty years ago: he got another girl pregnant, then he left. Now he's back as the town's first fire chief, raising his daughter alone — and with no idea what this place has believed about him for three decades. What his father let them believe. Some second chances are about forgiveness. This one is about the truth. Exclusive bonus materialA letter from each woman to her daughter, on everything they've learned about love the hard way. Speaking of letters: Take the first letter of each title in order and you'll have what the whole series is all about. All four books, plus the exclusive bonus letters.
