For Lily Van Cortlandt, Bachelor Arms was a new beginning for her and her unborn baby. Because of the battle with her dead husband's wealthy family--who wanted custody of her child--she needed her two best friends, Caitlin and Blythe, to help her start a new life. A life that would never again include a lying, cheating playboy. Mac Sullivan, the building's temporary handyman, was the kind of man she could want. Hardworking. Honest. Ordinary.
New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross has written over a hundred novels for a bunch of publishers. Two of her titles have been excerpted in Cosmo and her books have also been published by the Doubleday, Rhapsody, Literary Guild, and Mystery Guild book clubs.
A member of the Romance Writers of America's Honor Roll of best-selling authors, she's won several awards, including Romantic Times's Career Achievement Awards in both category and contemporary single title.
Currently writing a new Honeymoon Harbor series for HQN set on the Washington peninsula, that will launch in April, 2018, JoAnn lives with her husband (her high school sweetheart, who proposed at the sea wall where her Shelter Bay books are set), in the Pacific Northwest.
Starting right where the last book in the series left off, Lily and Connor's story continues to build on the romance of the last book and starts up the romance for the last book. One thing this series does that gets old if you read the books in quick succession is repeat itself. Makes it great to read as a stand-alone but can get annoying when you know everything it's just repeating again. That said, Lily and Connor's love story is sweet and fun to watch develop especially to watch Lily, who's presented as a bit of a pushover at first compared to Cait and Blythe, come into her own.
