Thompson & Sons

Two siblings. Two unforgettable love stories. One small town full of heat, heart, and happily-ever-afters. From New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend, dive into the first two standalone romances in the Thompson & Sons series—where loyal men and fearless women find love that's worth holding on to.

Gage Jenick has loved Katy Thompson for years—from the sidelines, from the shadows, from the moment she stopped being his best friend’s kid sister and started being the woman who stole his every thought. When she finally ends things with her ex, Gage can’t hold back any longer. One night. One chance to show her what she’s always meant to him before a job takes him far from home. But fate has other plans.

Mitch Thompson’s always been trouble—fast cars, faster mouth, and a smile that gets him out of nearly anything. But the one woman he’s never been able to sweet-talk into bending the rules? Constable Anna Coleman. Straight-laced, by-the-book, and immune to his charm… until the night she isn’t. One kiss turns into one secret, sin-soaked affair—and suddenly, Mitch’s favorite pastime is making the town’s most untouchable cop come undone.

Len Thompson’s spent years doing the right thing—keeping his hands off the one woman he wants more than his next breath. Janey Watson is off-limits, his sister’s best friend, and far too good for a man with grease on his hands and ghosts in his past. But when she announces she’s leaving Rocky Mountain House for good, Len’s self-control goes up in smoke. If she’s walking away, he’s not letting her go without finally knowing what it feels like to love her—completely.

Maggie Ward’s life fell apart in one terrible night, and nothing feels safe anymore—except Clay Thompson. He’s been her steady place to land, her protector, her friend. But when the silence between them starts to crack with unspoken need, Maggie realizes she’s clinging to the one man she’s never supposed to want. She swore she wouldn’t break again…but every time Clay looks at her, she forgets how to breathe.

Troy Thompson has never pretended to be anything more than the guy you don’t bring home to Mom. Charming, confident, and a little too good with his hands, he’s made peace with being the town’s favorite cautionary tale. Until Nicole Adams—their secret fling turned impossible addiction—walks away. She wants commitment, stability, a future. The thought of her finding that with someone else? Not a chance.
