A fire that changes everything.
A coastal ranch in danger.
Three sisters risking everything for truth, for family, for love.

When Charley Garrett wakes to the smell of smoke, flames are already climbing the walls of her parents’ ranch house. By dawn, her father is in a coma, her mom is reeling, and their home is gone. With Shorelight Ranch hanging by a thread, Charley has to hold everything together. To do that, she will have to lean on Ray, the loyal foreman she has kept at arm’s length, and admit she cannot face this alone. She will need her sisters.

Vicky built an impressive corporate career in Manhattan, but after her divorce and a sudden dismissal, raising two teenagers with no job is more stressful than she will ever admit. In Portland, Nicole is trying to hold things together as a reporter and mom while her marriage slowly falls apart.

Now they’re back in Lighthouse Landing, where tensions flare, and unexpected sparks make everything more complicated. With an official report blaming their mother for the blaze and their father’s future uncertain, the Garrett sisters must stand together to uncover what really happened that night, or risk losing the ranch, the truth, and their own second chances for love.

Titles in the Lighthouse Landing series include: The Hope We Keep ~ The Summer We Stayed ~ The Love We Find ~ (6 titles in the completed series)

This is a no-spice romance, perhaps with closed-door or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved.

The Wild Card by Carolyn Brown

Posted December 26, 2025 by Marsha in Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, NetGalley, No Spice Romance, Small Town Romance, Standalone, Women's Romance Fiction / 0 Comments

Professional poker player Carla Wilson’s luck runs dry in Tucson, leaving her with nothing but an SUV running on fumes and a deed to the Tumbleweed Bus Stop and Diner in small-town Texas. Her plan to sell the café and move on seems simple enough—until she meets the motherly cook who rules the kitchen with an iron skillet and the sunny waitress who treats her like a sister.

Then there’s Jackson Armstrong. The ex-military heir of a wealthy oil family has green eyes that make Carla forget her cards and a smile that suggests he’s playing for keeps. With a pair of matchmaking senior citizens and the café’s morning regulars cheering from the sidelines, Carla’s wandering soul begins to feel at home.

Now she’s discovering everything she never knew she needed—true friendship, a place to belong, and a love worth going all in for. Maybe Lady Luck knew exactly what she was doing from the start.
