A Nestled Hollow Romance

Business savvy Joselyn Zimmerman knows everything about how to run her own business except what kind of business to run. Chef Marcus desires a life outside the kitchen—one with a family of his own, and, more than anything, he wants that family to include Joselyn. But her family has always been there for him, and he doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.

Fun-loving Whitney Brennan enjoys being in the middle of every town gathering in Nestled Hollow - and writing about it all in the town paper that she owns. But she’s terrified of making any real or deep connection with anyone because she knows that if she does, they’ll end up leaving like everyone else did. Like her high school best-friend-turned-boyfriend, Eli, did on graduation night. Eli Treanor skipped out of Nestled Hollow 12 years ago and created a new life and a thriving team-building business he thoroughly enjoys in Sacramento.

Macie Zimmerman would love to get married and start a family. But after so much searching, she's sick of having hope that something will work out. All she needs is a good six months of no dating—time she could spend building her business, Paws and Relax, and hanging out with the animals who show her all the love she needs—to be able to face it again. If only she can keep everyone in town from trying to find her a husband.

Brooke McClellan is the owner of the shop Best Dressed and knows how to do two things very well: design amazing dresses and stay far away from serious relationships. She definitely doesn't date anyone from Nestled Hollow, and especially not her best friend, Cole. Whenever Cole Iverson isn't running his restaurant, Back Porch Grill, he's taking care of his nine-year-old daughter or tamping down the feelings he has for his best friend, Brooke. It's been three years since his wife died, and he's ready to get remarried, but he knows it could never happen with Brooke.

Tory is living her dream running her own coffee shop, Love a Latte, and raising four young kids. But her divorce left her doing it all on her own and not always succeeding. She'd consider marrying again someday—as long as the man was the complete opposite of her ex. But she really has no hope of that, because who would ever willingly step into her chaotic life? 

Alete Keetch knows she is too independent, too opinionated, and too headstrong to get along with someone enough to ever get married. But that's fine by her—she gets all the fulfillment she needs by running her favorite town celebrations. Until the much-too-attractive new fire chief comes to town, determined to cancel them.
