Summary

Join bestselling author Sheila Roberts in the town of Icicle Falls, where life's full of surprises, and happiness is just around the corner!

Together for the first time in one box set, books 4-6 in her popular Life in Icicle Falls series:

The Cottage on Juniper Ridge

Muriel Sterling's guide to plain living, Simplicity, inspires Jen Heath has left her stressful, overcommitted life and moved to Icicle Falls, where she rents a lovely little cottage on Juniper Ridge to enjoy simple pleasures--like joining the local book club--and complicated ones, like falling in love with her sexy landlord, Garrett Armstrong.

Other women in town are also inspired to unload their excess stuff and some of the extra responsibilities they've taken on.

But as they all discover, sometimes life simply happens. It doesn't always happen simply!

The Tea Shop on Lavender Lane

After a fake food poisoning incident in L.A., Bailey Sterling's dreams of becoming a caterer to the stars collapse faster than a soufflé. But the Sterling women close ranks and bring her back to Icicle Falls, where she'll stay with her sister Cecily.

All goes well between the sisters until Bailey comes up with a new business idea--a tea shop on a charming street called Lavender Lane. She's going into partnership with Todd Black, who--it turns out--is the man Cecily's started dating. It looks to Cecily as if there's more than tea brewing in that cute little shop. And she's not pleased...

So now what? Should you have to choose between your sister and the man you love?

The Lodge on Holly Road

James Claussen has played Santa for years, but now that he's a widower, he's lost interest--in everything. So his daughter, Brooke, kidnaps him from the mall (in his Santa suit!) and takes him to Icicle Falls. She's arranged a special Christmas at the lodge owned by long-widowed Olivia Wallace and her son, Eric. Brooke wants Dad to be happy, and yet...she's not ready to see someone else's mommy kissing Santa Claus.

Single mom Missy Monroe brings her kids to the lodge, too. They've each got Christmas wish lists, but what Missy wants is an attractive, dependable man. A man like John Truman... But John's girlfriend will be joining him in Icicle Falls, and he's going to propose.

Of course not everything goes as planned. But sometimes the best gifts are the ones you don't expect!
