Cedar Cove Series Volume 3/92 Pacific Boulevard/1022 Evergreen Place/1105 Yakima Street/1225 Christmas Tree Lane by Debbie Macomber

92 Pacific Boulevard

Sometimes people may have trouble admitting that they are in love. Sheriff Troy Davis is a widower, and he thought he was ready to move on. His high school sweetheart, Faith Beckwith, recently returned to town, and it had seemed they were going to be a couple again. Then some misunderstandings got in the way.

Troy has plenty else to keep him occupied, though — like the unidentified remains found in a cave outside town. And the break-ins at the house Faith just happens to be renting from Grace Harding. And as Judge Olivia Lockhart deals with health challenges, the community rallies around her.

For Troy and Faith, Cedar Cove is the kind of town where you can fix your past mistakes and discover what the future holds.

1022 Evergreen Place

Mary Jo Wyse hasn’t always made great decisions about men, but she has a good feeling about her landlord, Mack McAfee. Living next door with her baby girl, Noelle, has given her the chance to get to know him. While Mary worries that her baby’s father might sue for custody, she knows Mack is on her side. When they discover a package of old letters from World War II, they bond over trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved. Because life can have a happy ending. Especially in Cedar Cove.

1105 Yakima Street

Bruce Peyton is left reeling as his wife walks out on him. Pregnant and overwhelmed, Rachel just couldn’t handle the stress of their household anymore. And it didn’t help matters that his stubborn thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, refused to accept her new stepmother.

Determined to mend his fractured family, Bruce has to find Rachel first. But he’s not the only one struggling in their small town. Linc Wyse fights to protect his business from a vengeful father-in-law, while Charlotte Rhodes’s increasing forgetfulness raises concerns for her family.

In Cedar Cove, where neighbours come together to give a helping hand, a little bit of love, patience and forgiveness are often just what the community needs to heal...

1225 Christmas Tree Lane

The people of Cedar Cove know how to celebrate Christmas. Like Grace and Olivia and everyone else, Beth Morehouse expects this Christmas to be one of her best. Her small Christmas tree farm is prospering, her daughters and her dogs are happy and well, and her new relationship with local vet Ted Reynolds is showing plenty of romantic promise.

But...someone recently left a basket filled with puppies on her doorstep, puppies she’s determined to place in good homes. That’s complication number one. And number two is that her daughters, Bailey and Sophie, have invited their dad, Beth’s long-divorced husband, Kent, to Cedar Cove for Christmas. The girls have visions of a mum-and-dad reunion dancing in their heads.

As always in life — and in Cedar Cove — there are surprises, too. More than one family’s going to have a puppy under the tree. More than one scheme will go awry. And more than one romance will have a happy ending!
