Nine years ago, a logging accident near the remote timber town killed her dad and her high school sweetheart. Despite Jess's broken heart, her mother immediately sought comfort with another man. That choice tore Jess apart and drove her to seek a life far away. But now fate steps in, and family obligations force her to return home. Before long, Jess decides that persuading her mom to live with her in Toronto will repair their bond and Jess's own sense of belonging. However, she doesn't count on a long-ago friend re-entering her life and challenging those convictions.
Rugged forester Adam Wright believes in family, roots, and not running from heartache. Now all he wants is to help Jess break down the walls of the lonely sanctuary she's built for herself and heal her past hurts. But it's not until she rejects his proposal that Adam realizes his dogged persistence has pushed her even further away--not at all what he intended. Has he lost his chance? Or can he convince Jess that where she truly belongs is with him...forever?
Set amid British Columbia's lush landscape, _Where She Belongs_ delivers an engaging romance with complex characters, honest emotion, and heart.

Nikki St. James is at the end of the rope she bought to kidnap her rat fiancé's best man. Determined to convince her fiancé to set a wedding date instead of spending his days sucking up to her rich father, Nikki fakes an affair with their best man, Alex Hart, and whisks Alex to secluded Lake Eden along with the zany trio of pets she can't bear to leave behind. Except...her fiancé doesn't rush to win her back. And Alex, a stick-in-the-mud history professor, clearly thinks she's off her rocker.
Alex is a victim of nose-to-the-grindstone-itis. Sure, he needs a break from his quest to achieve tenure at warp speed—but on his terms, not a wacky blonde's! Before long, however, he realizes Nikki isn’t the wild party girl his old college buddy described. She's cute and sweet and...well, soon Alex is stealing her away for love and forever and all she deserves...

Magee Sinclair has had it up to her sassy short hairdo with the financial difficulties a recent rash of blunders has caused her family's advertising agency. How will she prove she deserves the promotion her father has in mind for her when she keeps making silly mistakes?
New client Justin Kane's goal to expand his bike stores hinges on a distributorship deal with a bike manufacturer he needs to impress during a couples mountain biking weekend. He's supposed to bring his steady girl. But Justin's girlfriend dumps him, and he needs a woman to replace her. To masquerade as her. By tomorrow. Magee, an expert mountain biker, is the perfect choice.
Or so he thinks.
Major trouble for Magee, who isn't quite the expert she's claimed in this comedy of errors abound with fake identities, ex-lovers popping up out of nowhere, and a whole lot of door-slamming in the middle of the night.
