Out of the Ashes
Summary
Hope brought them together, but it's now fear that drives them... and threatens to tear them apart. Zoe and her companions succeeded in rescuing Dani from the Colony. But not without sacrifice. Beaten and broken, they head west, determined to leave behind the torment and horrors they experienced in Colorado. As Dani and Zoe make the perilous trek home to Bodega Bay, they learn that danger can take many forms--other survivors, their friends, even themselves--and that things are rarely what they seem. Zoe is desperate to become the woman she sees in others' memories, while Dani struggles to conceal damaging secrets, risking losing herself--her humanity--completely. Together, they must rediscover the true meaning of friendship, love, and trust, and learn just how hard they're willing to fight for what remains of their shattered world. As relationships are put to the test, second chances are given, and new life emerges, death lurks in the most unlikely of places. To survive, Dani and Zoe must accept that sometimes hope alone isn't enough.

Summary
Mac is a lot of things - smart, sexy, and she can curse like a sailor. But behind her megawatt smile and perfectly pink lips are scars that no one sees. She has all but sworn away from men when an inked-up mystery man walks into her dad's auto shop, jaw clenched and glaring at her. Mac's confidence and cocky comebacks begin to fall short, and it's not long before buried pain and unwanted memories resurface. As life throws her one curveball after another, Mac's composed façade begins to waver, and she finds herself drawn into the arms of a man she can barely stand the sight of. Mostly. Colton knew Mac was nothing but trouble from the first time he met her, half-naked and cursing at him. A complicated relationship with his boss's daughter is the last thing Colton needs. After all, he came to Saratoga Falls to leave bad decisions behind him. But winter in this small town can be cold and lonely, and Colton finds a certain high-heeled hothead to be more surprising than expected and exactly what he needs. Nothing but Trouble is a story of passion and tenderness, Christmas trees and snowball fights. It's about the true meaning of family and the sacrifices we make for the people we love.
