Read With Kindle Unlimited




This single dad longs for a second chance with the girl whose heart he broke. But is the big-time TV actress willing to find a new role in small town Trinity Falls once Christmas is over?

Ransom Wright has made some pretty big mistakes in his life, including dumping his high school sweetheart to stop her from abandoning her dreams. And since that ill-fated day, he seems to mess up everything else he touches. Well… almost everything.

The one perfect thing in his life is being a father to Travis and Mae, the sweetest seven-year-old boy and the spunkiest six-year-old girl in the world. And now that he’s home from the Army for good, the single dad is hoping to end his unlucky streak and get his dog training business off the ground.

It’s only during the lonely nights that he lets his memory carry him back to Hailey Sinclair and the happiness he felt back when she was his girl.

So when Hailey appears at his doorstep on a snowy December night, he can’t believe his eyes. She’s an actress on the biggest weekly soap opera in network television history. What is she doing back in small town Trinity Falls?

As their lives suddenly become entangled all over again, and Hailey falls hard for his kids, Ransom finds himself hoping for a Christmas miracle. After all, he’s pretty sure that’s what it would take for his favorite celebrity to give him a second chance.

Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas inspirational series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.

Release DateJanuary 5, 2026


With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away.
Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind.
When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work.
We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings. He might want me, but he wants peace more.
There’s a darkness within him I know he fights. Just as there are secrets his family needs to uncover. But when the danger comes full force, it won’t be from the obvious corner. No, we both have our pasts we chose to hide.
And our fears.
Yet when I break, he catches me.
And I hope I have the strength to do the same.

**Legacy is an age gap, best friend’s little sister, small town romance and the first in the Ashford Creek series featuring Callum and Felicity. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

He promised his best friend he’d look after her… he didn’t expect to fall for her.


Meet Atlas Karolak. Left winger for the Pittsburgh Titans. Laser focused on hockey. Zero interest in complicated.


Until life makes the call for him.


ATLAS (Pittsburgh Titans) by @sawyerbennett123 


"There will be tears. Bennett gives the soul a life lesson with breathtaking rawness.  From the moments of sorrow to the beauty of hope, Atlas turns haunting heartbreak into brutal honesty." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)



#NowAvailable at the Sawyer Bennett Bookstore

Wide release January 13

🔗 https://geni.us/SB_Atlas 



When tragedy turns Atlas into a co-guardian with a woman he barely knows, everything he’s built starts to wobble. Maddie St. James isn’t his friend. They clash. They disagree. They barely manage polite. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, walking away isn’t an option.


What starts as obligation turns into late nights, stolen looks, and feelings neither of them planned on catching. Turns out grief, responsibility, and forced proximity have a way of changing everything.






Why you will love this book:

🔥Forced Proximity 

🔥Newly appointed Co-Guardians

🔥Enemies-to-Lovers

🔥Grumpy/Grumpy

🔥Unexpected Parenthood

🔥Hockey Romance

🔥Found Family

🔥Opposites Attract

🔥Slow Burn






As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.


Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.


Until the day it doesn’t.


Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.


Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.


Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.


Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.


Atlas is a hockey romance with heart. Found family, enemies to lovers, grumpy meets grumpy, and a hero learning that love doesn’t always come on your own terms.

I never believed in love at first sight…until I met her.


Rowan
I’ve always wanted to be a doctor.
The only problem is that no matter how many hours I work, I’ll never be able to afford it on my own.
Then I meet him.
Grant Bennett.
He’s grumpy, scarred, and way too intense.
He’s also the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
And when he makes me a shocking offer, I don’t know if I should laugh, cry, or say yes.


Grant
I came back from my last mission broken.
The doctors tell me I should be grateful I’m alive, but all I feel is restless, angry, and empty.
I don't want to be sidelined. I don't want to be in Colorado getting treatment.
Then I see her.
Rowan Turner.
She's pure sunshine with curves that have my mouth watering, and she makes me feel alive again just by smiling at me.
She deserves the world, and I can give it to her.
With my GI Bill benefits, she can finally afford med school.
All she has to do is marry me.
I tell her it's just paperwork, but the moment she says “I do,” I know I’ll never let her go.
Now I have my hardest mission of all.
Convincing her that I'm the warrior for her.

It was supposed to be a business trip… How did it turn into a fight for survival?

If she doesn’t want her family’s business to wind up as broken as her newly voided marriage contract, Madison needs a miracle. Too bad for her, the universe is all out. Her ship was shot down.
