Publisher Comments:

Dear Readers:

Thank you for loving the small town of Serendipity. Because of you, Iand#8217;m able to continue what I startedand#133;and introduce you to Serendipityand#8217;s Finestand#151;the cops of Serendipityand#133;

Best wishes, Carly

In the picturesque town of Serendipity, New York, three siblings have grown up in the shadow of their proud and respected police chief father. But what do love, fate, and fortune have in store for the next generation of Serendipityand#8217;s finest?

Assistant D.A. Erin Marsden is Serendipityand#8217;s quintessential good girl. The daughter of the exand#150;police chief, sheand#8217;s never made a misstep, content with her quiet, predictable life...or so she thinks. Until Cole Sanders shows up with heated interest in his eyes and shadows in his past.

After seven years of deep undercover work in New York, Cole returns to town to help his aging father and find his moral compass again. Not to get involved with wholesome Erin Marsden. Even as a rebellious teen, he knew a girl like Erin was off limits. But neither can resist their off-the-charts chemistry, and a one-night stand brings complications neither expected.

Then a case puts Erin in a killerand#8217;s crosshairs, and Erin succumbs to Coleand#8217;s take-charge attitude. As a bodyguard, heand#8217;s the best. As a lover, heand#8217;s even better. But thereand#8217;s more than Erinand#8217;s safety at stake. And Cole must forgive the sins of his past and prove to himselfand#151;and to Erinand#151;that heand#8217;s capable of the love and the forever she so desperately needs.

Review:

"Bestseller Phillips rounds out her sexy trio of contemporary romances set in Serendipity, N.Y. (after Serendipity and Destiny) with another well-crafted tale. Officer Dare Barron hates dealing with the frequently drunk and disorderly Brian McKnight. The only benefit is seeing Brian's sister, Liza, as she bails Brian out yet again. When the handsome cop confesses his attraction, Liza tentatively agrees to see where things go despite fretting over her brother being a public nuisance. Liza's habit of enabling her brother keeps tripping up the relationship, but Dare will do anything to keep her safe when she's targeted by her brother's menacing creditors. Phillips creates sympathetic and interesting characters who realistically grow and mature despite their unhappy past actions and experiences. Excellent writing, deft plotting, believable situations, and a satisfying romance add up to a winner. Agents: Kimberly Witherspoon and David Forrer, InkWell Management."

Synopsis:

Passions ignite in these all-new stories from four bestselling masters of contemporary romance…

 

In Jaci Burtons “Hope Smolders,” struggling divorcee Jane has put her personal life on hold to raise her kids—until she runs into Luke, her exs former best friend, who convinces her its time to start having fun again.

 

Carly Phillips takes you back to the town of Serendipity, where overworked Alexa has an instant connection with a sinfully sexy football star on the dance floor. A one-night stand evolves into multiple nights when Luke decides to teach the good doctor about his own brand of fun. But when its time for him to leave town, will these “Perfect Strangers” be able to say goodbye for good?

 

In Jessica Clares “Legend of Jane,” an intrepid Bloggess catches the eye of local law enforcement when she gets caught trespassing. Luckily, Luanne wouldnt mind getting handcuffed by Officer Hotness…

 

Single girl Chelsea is tired of feeling like the fifth wheel on her weekend jaunt to Lake Placid, until she gets stuck out in the cold and finds a muscular knight in shining armor to warm her up—in Erin McCarthys “Ice Princess.”

Synopsis:

In the picturesque town of Serendipity, New York, three siblings have grown up in the shadow of their proud and respected police chief father. But what do love, fate, and fortune have in store for the next generation of Serendipityandrsquo;s finest?

Always feeling like the odd man out in his family, Michael Marsden wanted to make it on his own. So he escaped Serendipity to become an undercover cop in Manhattan, where the Marsden name wasnandrsquo;t known. But Michaelandrsquo;s independence is compromised when he returns home to replace his sick father as chief of police. Back in the shadow of his family, heandrsquo;s as lost and restless as ever, until heandrsquo;s challenged by someone he never anticipated.

Cara Hartley is the Serendipity cop with whom Mike had a one night stand three months earlier. Neither expected anything more but fate has other things in store. When Mike returns as Caraandrsquo;s boss, the sexual tension between them is impossible to ignore--and the unexpected emotional connection continues to grow. But Caraandrsquo;s a small town girl while Mike has a wandererandrsquo;s blood in his veins.

Both are convinced a future together is impossible. Until Mikeandrsquo;s real fatherandrsquo;s secrets come back to haunt him and he realizes there are some things worth staying and fighting for. Including Cara.
