Publisher's Synopsis
An icy car accident strands two friends in a snowstorm, igniting an attraction they can no longer resist, until her brother discovers his best friend in bed with his sister. Can they fight family expectations for a chance at true love?
Colleen Luview's love life is cursed. No, really. The small-town nurse is notorious in her touristy mountain community. After every third date she's ever had, the guy ends up in her emergency room.
She's untouchable now, and it's not her fault.
Resolved to branch out and find a way to have a life with a partner, children, and meaning, free from being a love pariah in a town devoted to it, she decides to leave her beloved Love You, Maine-where every day is Valentine's Day-to find a bigger dating pool.
And a better nickname than Third Date Colleen.
Moore Mottin hates feeling like damaged goods. Married and divorced twice before age thirty, he has a fifteen-year-old from a teenage pregnancy, was cheated on during his second wedding, and now even his best friend, Luke Luview, considers him the butt of every bad-luck joke when it comes to love.
When Luke's sister, Colleen, picks him up from the airport and a freak snowstorm forces them off the road, he rescues her from an icy pond and finds an old hunting cabin for shelter and safety. Vulnerable and shaking, the two give in to their long-simmering feelings for each other, but when they're discovered in the worst way possible, what seemed like a new lease on life turns into a life-altering mess.
Can Moore and Colleen overcome all the obstacles holding them back from a love that's been in front of their faces all this time?
If you're looking for a story featuring two star-crossed lovers doomed by unfair reputations, with a smooth-talking single dad who runs a jewelry store and his best friend's sister, set in a small town in New England, with a calico cat named Sandwich, a heroine with a dry wit and a can-do attitude, and a hero who just wants a good relationship with his estranged child and the chance to find lasting love... then this is your book.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe some peanut butter for your burger (What? It's a thing...), and get your happy meter ready as you read the third book (a standalone!) in the Love You, Maine series-where love isn't just a feeling... it's a way of life.
