Résumé

Welcome to Coyote Creek: Fall in love along with the uniquely entertaining residents of Coyote Creek. They're sure to steal your heart and bring you smiles, laughter, and tears. A contemporary, small-town romance series centered around The Flint family, their ranch, their friends and neighbors. A Lesson In Love:Fired from her job and accused of a crime she has not committed, Tricia Paxton retreats to Coyote Creek to recover from trauma and rebuild her career. Though she shields herself from the past, her secrets challenge her relationships, and her new position as an elementary school teacher further complicates personal boundaries when an eye-catching stranger requires lessons of his own. Carefree bachelor, Riley Flint, has problems, too. While focusing on building a veterinary practice, his plans grind to a halt when a daughter he has never known enters his life. Accepting the troublesome news that the mother has passed away and her maternal grandparents cannot offer their care, he assumes the responsibility of raising his daughter. But he has little experience with children and the girl needs more instruction than a man can give, so Riley approaches the new teacher for help. A Heart Torn Apart:RCMP Constable Amy Baxter, retreated to Coyote Creek to escape an enormous mistake. She wants to do her job as a police officer until the scandal passes and she can further her career in another large city. Her attractive new neighbor is secretive, doesn't seem to have a job and keeps weird hours. His behavior triggers her law enforcement warning bells and his body sets off sensations best forgotten. Justice Flint is a man on a mission and Amy is an unwanted distraction, poking her nose into his business. His teenage daughter is missing. With no idea if she's run away or been abducted, he's spent the last two years searching for her. His broken heart won't allow him to give up searching until he finds her. When Amy catches him breaking the law in search of clues, she has two choices: arrest him or team up to search for his daughter. Either way, she needs to ignore her attraction and protect the walls she's built around her heart. A Secret to Shatter:Honey Dalton can't resist Ira Castillo's handsome face and kind, if somewhat taciturn manner. She admires his dedication and service to his country, but senses he's hiding something from her. She's determined to ferret out his secrets while concealing her above average intelligence and secret career as a counter terrorism agent for the Canadian government. For his entire life, Ira believed his father was dead. After a deathbed confession by his mother, he learns that his father is alive and well and raising another family. Seeking answers, he heads to Coyote Creek where he meets a beautiful, but purposeless waitress. Ira, a medically retired and total balls-to-the-wall soldier, cannot reconcile himself with Honey's seemingly carefree, pointless life. Nor can he fight the attraction building between them. If not for her lack of ambition, and his own focus on getting to know his newfound family, Honey Dalton would be perfect for him. But they've got more in common than either realizes. Can they shatter the secrets between them and build a life together, or is the gulf between them too wide to breach?
