When Bennett McFadden fell in love with Grace Moore as a nineteen-year-old, he'd thought they had a future together. Unfortunately, everything changed when Grace's grandmother died and Grace pulled away from him and the future he had dreamed they'd have together. Several years later, Grace's husband passes away unexpectedly, and it reinforces her belief that anyone she allows to get too close to her dies. To prevent further heartache, Grace is once again determined to keep those she cares about at arm's length, but sometimes circumstances force a closeness that can't be avoided. Bennett hadn't like Grace's husband, Franklin, when they'd first met--for many reasons--but as the man had changed in recent months so had Bennett's level of respect for him. Franklin's death shocks them all, but once again the Callaghan-McFadden family rallies around Grace just as they had during the past losses she'd endured. As Bennett spends time helping Grace in the months following Franklin's death, he finds the feelings he'd once had for her coming to the surface again. Unfortunately, the fear that bound Grace's heart before has an even tighter grip on her now. Though she supports Makayla and Ethan as they prepare to say their vows, she knows that never again will she allow herself to be that vulnerable. Love can overcome fear, but only if Grace is willing to take a chance even while knowing that loss might follow.

He tempts death on his quest for adventure. Since he was young, Gabe Callaghan has chased the rush of an adrenalin high. Whether it was jumping off the roof of his family home onto the trampoline below as a boy or BASE jumping off the Kjerag Massif in Norway as an adult, Gabe craves the rush that dangerous activities give him. No person, place or thing has ever held his attention long enough to divert him from that chase. That is until the day he walked into his family’s business and laid eyes on Maya St. James. Even though she’s in her mid-twenties, Maya has an innocence about her and a curiosity about life that draws him in. Gabe longs to show her his world! She has fought hard to live. A two-time cancer survivor, Maya St. James has only just recently begun to spread her wings, eager to escape beyond the walls her wealthy, over-protective parents had put in place to keep her safe. She longs to experience a world that, for the most part, she has only seen virtually through videos and television. When she meets Gabe Callaghan for the first time, Maya is drawn to his zest for life. She’s never met anyone like him before and finds herself saying yes to his invitations to be part of his world. But even as she finds herself falling for Gabe, Maya comes to the realization that his ideas of excitement and adventure vary greatly from hers. Add to that is the knowledge that Gabe’s time in Winnipeg is short, and Maya is left to wonder if it’s possible for their lifestyles to mesh. Will their blossoming love be enough to overcome their differences? Or will their opposite perspectives on life drive them apart?

In the blink of an eye, my forever turned to never . Jayden Murray had promised he loved her and saw forever with her, so Sammi McFadden allowed things to go further than she’d known was right. But instead of proposing, Jayden tells her he’s fallen in love with someone else. Heartbroken at not just the loss of her dreams, but the loss of her innocence, Sammi heads down a path that is riddled with decisions contrary to what she'd been raised to believe were right. I’ve always taken responsibility when necessary, so I can do no less for her. Levi Weston isn’t sure what to make of things when his one-night-stand shows up on his doorstep three months after the fact…pregnant. As with every other issue that’s arisen in his life, he is willing to take responsibility and do what’s right. However, as he gets to know the mother of his child, Levi is confused by the guilt and shame that seem to weigh so heavily on Sammi. Sammi’s faith is as foreign to Levi as the idea of becoming a father, and though he wants to learn about both, he hates the idea of his child being raised in an environment of shame. As he and Sammi grow closer, Levi realizes that things are more complex than he’d realized. Sammi struggles to accept the consequences for her actions and to live with her new reality—unwed mother instead of wife and then mother. Though it eats at her soul, she feels that the judgment she faces because of the choices she has made is her lot to bear. Can Levi get Sammi to see that their child deserves better? Or will she lose everything she’s dreamed of for her tomorrow because she can’t accept that forgiveness is hers for the taking?

I’m doing what I’ve always dreamed of doing…until an injury on the ice threatens it all. Kenton Callaghan is living the dream. A star NHL player. A sought-after spokesperson. Wanted by beautiful women. If he’s a bit lonely at times, he figures it’s a small price to pay for all the rest. But when an injury threatens to rob him of his career, Kenton has to figure out how far he’s willing to go to get things back to where they were. I know all about the professional sports life and have no intention of being involved in it again. After a lot of time and hard work, Avery Walker finally has her degree in physiotherapy, and her first—and only—client, courtesy of Max Zevardi, is Emily Callaghan. The man who paid for her education through a scholarship has now hired her to work full-time with the woman. She’s grateful for the work, which is flexible enough for her to still be there for her family. It seems like the perfect job—until she meets Kenton Callaghan. Avery has had experience with professional athletes, and it wasn’t pleasant. Knowing that Kenton will likely seek the quickest way to heal and get back to the game, she is determined to keep her distance from him. But when he turns to her for help with his rehabilitation, Avery feels obliged to help out. But just because she’s agreed for their lives to intersect professionally, it doesn’t mean that any other parts need to. Kenton has always been up to a challenge whether it’s in his career or his personal life, and the challenge Avery is presenting him is hard to resist. He wants what she can offer him in terms of helping his recovery, but there’s something else there. An aloofness beyond her professional exterior that he wants to understand. The last thing Avery wants is to see Kenton as anything other than a client. He’s too close to events in her past for her comfort, so keeping him at a distance is a must. There is too much at risk to take a chance, especially when she suspects that Kenton might be crossing a line she can’t tolerate.

All he’s wanted is a special woman to shower with love. Mitch Callaghan had a great example of a wonderful relationship as he grew up. Watching his dad show his love for Emily, Mitch’s step-mom, through the years has made Mitch want to do the same for a special woman in his life. But instead, he’s watched as his brothers and sisters have found love while it has continued to elude him. Her career might revolve around love and romance, but her personal life definitely doesn’t. Belle Jacobs spent most of her growing up years watching her mom’s never-ending search for her prince charming. As an adult, she found out the hard way that flowery declarations of love and gifts of bouquets and candy didn’t mean the feelings were genuine. So while she’s busy running Belles & Beaus , the bridal boutique and wedding planning business her mom had started years ago, Belle has no plans to make use of the services for herself. When Mitch accompanies Maya, his twin brother’s fiancée, to the meeting with the wedding planner, it’s under duress. He soon realizes, though, that what he’d seen as a favor for Gabe and Maya has become a life changing moment for him. But only him. Though Mitch has hoped for a love-at-first-sight type start to the most important relationship of his life, he’s also kind of assumed it would work that way for both of them. Belle trusts very few people in her life, and she trusts emotions even less. So when a client’s brother seems interested in her, she tries to gently dissuade him while still keeping their business. Unfortunately, she has a situation in her life that he is perfect to help her out with. Mitch never figured he’d have to battle for the love of his life, or that she would resist his attempts to romance her. Will the challenge scare Mitch away? Will Belle trust her heart once again? Or will she let fear of history repeating itself keep her from opening up?
