THIS BOOK WAS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS PATHWAYS . Now edited and updated! SOMETIMES IT'S THE RIGHT GUY, BUT THE WRONG TIME... Bryn Bailey has taken a special father-daughter trip to his beloved Alaska every five years of her life. There he taught her to appreciate the wild, rugged country that surrounds their remote cabin on Summit Lake—just outside of Talkeetna—and created treasured memories. On Summit, there were only two neighboring families, and one had a son just about Bryn’s age. An impossibly cute son. Fifteen years ago, Eli Pierce didn’t give Bryn the time of day. Ten years ago, he definitely took notice of her too. And five years ago, their serious crush hovered on the edge of love. But Bryn had no intention of staying in Alaska, nor had she quite determined what she thought of God—a serious roadblock for Eli. They separated, each thinking that they were just not meant to be. Now, Bryn is officially “Doc Bailey” and has volunteered to work for the summer for Housecalls, an outfit who responds to medical needs for those living in the bush, while Eli Pierce’s bush plane operation services Housecalls’s contract. Thrown together again, neither can deny that sparks are flying. But even if it’s finally “The Right Guy and The Right Time,” is Bryn in “The Right Place” to welcome love at last? It all unfolds Once Upon an Alaska Summer …

You Can’t Embrace Your Future Until You Deal With Your Past… Fiona Burke has long been obsessed with Ireland’s famed, sixteenth-century pirate queen, Grace O’Malley. Now that she’s on the final stretch of earning her PhD in history, all she needs to do is finish her dissertation—with Grace O’Malley as her subject—then return home to Boston to defend it. Once that’s done she can compete for a highly coveted history professor position. Fiona arrives in western Ireland aiming to interview the locals and find additional folklore to flesh out her work. But when she encounters Grace’s distant relative—the handsome, commanding Rory O’Malley—she gets seriously distracted. Rory shares her passion for history and Ireland, and cares for his grandfather and great-uncle in a winsome way. Unfortunately he also carries wounds beyond his injured leg…wounds that threaten to dismantle every little bit of a relationship that he and Fiona begin to build. As a famed TV host becomes intrigued with Fiona—as well as convinced she should do guest appearances on his show—Rory starts to figure out that he might be as interested in his own personal romantic future as he is in Ireland’s epic past. But can he take the steps toward the healing he needs before it’s too late? It all remains to be seen… Once Upon an Irish Summer.
