Escape to New Zealand with the first three books in the Lantern Bay series of contemporary romances. High on emotion but with no explicit sensuality, these heartwarming stories follow Max, Rachel, and Gabe Connelly as they search for love and happiness. But their journeys are never simple—especially when secrets, mystery, and intrigue lie in wait.

Settle into the world of the Connelly family in Akaroa, New Zealand—an historic French and British harbor town nestled among volcanic hills—where family ties run deep, community spirit thrives, and love is always worth fighting for.

Yours to Give (Lantern Bay # 1)

YouTube daredevil Laura accepts the ultimate challenge—marry for publicity. Resort owner Max needs her followers to promote his business. Their fake marriage seems perfect until real feelings complicate everything. Can they risk their hearts for love? A story about taking chances and finding home.

Yours to Treasure (Lantern Bay #2)

Rachel returns to Lantern Bay to face a haunting secret from her past. Ex-rugby star Zane has spent years protecting that same secret. As attraction flares between them, they're locked in a battle neither understands. Sometimes enemies are fighting for the same thing.

Yours to Cherish (Lantern Bay #3)

Archaeologist Madeleine came to fulfill a promise—six months in Akaroa, then she's gone. She didn't count on Dr. Gabriel Connelly or falling for the one man she can never have. When the truth surfaces, will their love survive? A story about promises, sacrifice, and choosing your path.
