In the enduring and coastal town of Pride, Oregon, life is defined by the steady rhythm of the Pacific and the deep roots of its residents. This collection follows three women as they navigate the complexities of fixing broken hearts, choosing between two different futures, and taking wild gambles on mysterious strangers. Searching for Love Avery is the resident problem-solver of Pride, the woman everyone turns to when something needs fixing. But when Lucas arrives in town, she realizes her own heart is the one project she has neglected. Lucas is charming and adventurous, representing everything Avery has ever wanted, but he is also running from a past that refuses to stay behind him. As their romance builds, Avery must learn to stop trying to control every outcome and simply let love in. For Lucas, the challenge is proving he is a man worth taking a chance on, even with his demons in tow. Love Like Ours Sophia’s dreams of New York film school are on ice, leaving her feeling adrift in her own hometown. Her return to Pride takes a surprising turn when she reconnects with Palmer, a once-awkward boy who has transformed into a confident, successful local business owner. Just as Sophia begins to find comfort in Palmer’s steady loyalty, a charismatic filmmaker named Jack sweeps into town, offering her a direct link to the big-city life she thought she’d lost. Torn between the man who feels like home and the man who represents her dreams, Sophia must navigate a web of secrets and self-discovery to find where she truly belongs. Written with Love Juliette Elliott’s life is as deeply rooted in Pride as the cliffs themselves. Her predictable world is upended when Max Wilson, a famous screenwriter, rolls into town and falls head-over-heels—first for a dilapidated local lighthouse, and then for Juliette. In a whirlwind of cinematic passion, Max buys the crumbling structure and impulsively proposes marriage. Juliette is faced with a choice: embrace the wild, unpredictable love of a man used to writing his own endings, or retreat to the safety of the life she knows. In a town where the ocean hides many secrets, their sudden union might be the biggest gamble of all.
