This Time Around

From USA TODAY bestselling authors Denise Hunter, Melissa Ferguson, and Kathleen Fuller comes a sparkling collection of light and sweet romance stories will sweep you off your feet. In ***A Summer Detou***r by Denise Hunter (author of more than forty romance novels, including Bookshop by the Sea), you'll meet free-spirited Allie Adams, who undertakes a road trip to deliver her grandparents' newly restored '57 Chevy in time for their fiftieth anniversary party . . . along with Luke Fletcher, the former boy-next-door who callously crushed her heart. Pining for You by Melissa Ferguson (award-winning author of fan-favorites like Meet Me in the Margins and How to Plot a Payback) invites you to a cozy Virginia mountain town where Christmas tree farm owner Theo Watkins III has the opportunity to drop everything for one weekend to play farmer and potentially win back the heart of his childhood best friend, Skye Fuller. Only problem? He's the kind of man who drives a Tesla, not a tractor. Last but not least, ***He Loves Me; He Loves Me No***t by Kathleen Fuller (bestselling author of more than thirty books and novellas) will transport you to a small town in Arkansas where thirty-five-year-old Sophie Morgan has spent years making her flower shop a success. But when this workaholic decides she's ready to make time for dating again, she finds herself with two handsome men vying for her attention. Whether your perfect romance involves rows and rows of Fraser firs and white pines glinting in the moonlight, childhood love that never ends, or a second chance at a happily ever after, you're sure to find a story within this collection to warm your heart any day of the year. With included discussion questions, this collection is just as perfect for sparking conversation at your next book club as it is for a cozy night in.
