Virgin River
When the recently widowed Melinda Monroe sees an advert for a midwife in the remote town of Virgin River, she decides this is the perfect place to escape her heartache, and to revitalise the nursing career she loves. However, her hopes are dashed within an hour of arriving: the cabin is uninhabitable, the roads are treacherous and the local doctor wants nothing to do with her. But when a tiny baby is abandoned on a front porch, Mel must decide whether to stay and help or cut her losses and leave. Helped by local barman, and former marine, Jack Sheridan, Mel must face her past, and finds that there may be a future in Virgin River after all.
Shelter Mountain
For the second time in a year, a woman arrives in the small town of Virgin River trying to escape the past. John 'Preacher' Middleton is about to close the bar when a young woman and her three-year-old son come in out of the wet October night. An ex-marine who has seen his share of pain, Preacher knows a crisis when he sees one and this woman is certainly frightened and in need of help. But Preacher's instinct to protect is more than an engrained sense of duty, for Paige Lassiter has stirred up emotions in him ? emotions that he has never before allowed himself to feel.
When Paige's ex-husband turns up in Virgin River and secrets are revealed, Preacher knows his own future hangs in the balance. But if there's one thing the marines has taught him, it's that some things are worth fighting for...
Whispering Rock

same commitment and believes he may have found it in Virgin River. Lawyer, Brie Sheridan has come to Virgin River to find a safe haven after nearly losing her life at
the hands of a criminal. She finds a kindred spirit in policeman Mike ? someone also committed to protecting those in trouble. But this time Brie is the one in trouble,
and Mike will do anything to help Brie be free of her painful memories and learn to trust again. While Virgin River can help them face their past, can it give them both the future they deserve?
A Virgin River Christmas
Last Christmas Marcie Sullivan said a final goodbye to her husband Bobby. This Christmas she's come to Virgin River to find the man who saved his life, and gave her three more years with him. Fellow marine Ian Buchanan dragged Bobby to safety in Fallujah four years ago then disappeared. Since then, Marcie's letters to Ian have gone unanswered. When Marcie tracks Ian to the tiny mountain town of Virgin River she finds a man haunted by his past and afraid to look to his future. Not easily scared off, Marcie pushes her way into Ian's reclusive life to see beyond his pain to the man he once was. The man he can be again. Ian doesn't know what to make of the determined young woman who forces him to look into the painful past and, what's worse, the uncertain future. But it is, after all, a season of miracles and maybe, just maybe, it's time to banish the ghosts and open his heart.

But as Vanessa heals from her tragedy and looks to the future she realises Paul has evoked more than friendly feelings in her. Feelings she fears he does not return. Paul has been secretly in love with Vanessa for years. But he is also faithful to his best friend. Now, just as he's about to make his move and tell Vanessa how he feels, another woman has staked her claim on him ? a claim that could change everything.

A handsome pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty-eight he's tough and jaded. Specialising in no-commitment and one night stands. On paper these two are totally wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two very different things...

As the people of Virgin River rally around Rick, another new arrival tests the town?s famous welcoming spirit. Dan Brady has a questionable past, and he?s looking for a place to start over.

But that's not all they share! Franci's secret reason for walking away when Sean refused to commit is now three and a half: a beautiful little girl, who shares her daddy's emerald-green eyes. Sean is stunned - and furious with Franci for the deception. News travels fast in Virgin River and soon the whole town is taking sides. Rebuilding their trust could take a small miracle but if they can, it could be the start of a whole new beginning for this unexpected family.

But an ad in the local paper brings an improbable candidate his way. 'Pastor's assistant' is definitely not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets bold, yet
beautiful, Ellie Baldwin. With her colourful clothes and even more colourful past, Ellie needs a respectable job and Noah can't help but admire her determination to succeed. This unlikely duo come from two different worlds, but they have more in common than anyone would have expected, least of all themselves. And sometimes when you are not looking for love, it may just find you...
