Bøger i The Callaghans & McFaddens serien

He tempts death on his quest for adventure. Since he was young, Gabe Callaghan has chased the rush of an adrenalin high. Whether it was jumping off the roof of his family home onto the trampoline below as a boy or BASE jumping off the Kjerag Massif in Norway as an adult, Gabe craves the rush that dangerous activities give him. No person, place or thing has ever held his attention long enough to divert him from that chase. That is until the day he walked into his family's business and laid eyes on Maya St. James. Even though she's in her mid-twenties, Maya has an innocence about her and a curiosity about life that draws him in. Gabe longs to show her his world! She has fought hard to live. A two-time cancer survivor, Maya St. James has only just recently begun to spread her wings, eager to escape beyond the walls her wealthy, over-protective parents had put in place to keep her safe. She longs to experience a world that, for the most part, she has only seen virtually through videos and television. When she meets Gabe Callaghan for the first time, Maya is drawn to his zest for life. She's never met anyone like him before and finds herself saying yes to his invitations to be part of his world. But even as she finds herself falling for Gabe, Maya comes to the realization that his ideas of excitement and adventure vary greatly from hers. Add to that is the knowledge that Gabe's time in Winnipeg is short, and Maya is left to wonder if it's possible for their lifestyles to mesh. Will their blossoming love be enough to overcome their differences? Or will their opposite perspectives on life drive them apart?

When Bennett McFadden fell in love with Grace Moore as a nineteen-year-old, he'd thought they had a future together. Unfortunately, everything changed when Grace's grandmother died and Grace pulled away from him and the future he had dreamed they'd have together. Several years later, Grace's husband passes away unexpectedly, and it reinforces her belief that anyone she allows to get too close to her dies. To prevent further heartache, Grace is once again determined to keep those she cares about at arm's length, but sometimes circumstances force a closeness that can't be avoided. Bennett hadn't like Grace's husband, Franklin, when they'd first met--for many reasons--but as the man had changed in recent months so had Bennett's level of respect for him. Franklin's death shocks them all, but once again the Callaghan-McFadden family rallies around Grace just as they had during the past losses she'd endured. As Bennett spends time helping Grace in the months following Franklin's death, he finds the feelings he'd once had for her coming to the surface again. Unfortunately, the fear that bound Grace's heart before has an even tighter grip on her now. Though she supports Makayla and Ethan as they prepare to say their vows, she knows that never again will she allow herself to be that vulnerable. Love can overcome fear, but only if Grace is willing to take a chance even while knowing that loss might follow.
