Lantern Bay Box Set (Books 1-3)

Escape to New Zealand with the first three books in the Lantern Bay series of small-town 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.

This boxed set contains:

Yours to Give (Lantern Bay #1)
 

When YouTube daredevil Laura McKinney accepts resort owner Max Connelly's ultimate challenge—get married for publicity—she thinks it's just another stunt. What she doesn't expect is how real it might become.

Max Connelly needs Laura's massive online following to put his luxury mountain resort on the map. She needs content that will break the internet. A fake marriage seems like the perfect solution—publicity for him, viral gold for her, and absolutely no messy emotions involved.

But Max hasn't counted on Laura's fearless spirit making him want things he'd sworn off. And Laura hasn't planned on a rugged resort owner who challenges her in ways that have nothing to do with her YouTube channel.

When the cameras stop rolling and the fake becomes dangerously real, they'll have to decide: Is this just another challenge to complete, or the beginning of something worth fighting for?
 

Yours to Treasure (Lantern Bay #2)
 

She's home to uncover a family secret. He's spent years protecting it. Neither counted on falling for the enemy.

Rachel thought she'd left small-town complications behind for good. But after one too many toxic relationships, she knows it's time to face the decision that's haunted her for ten years. Coming home to Lantern Bay should be simple—except for Zane Black.

Ex-rugby star Zane has built his post-sports life on unwavering principles, especially when it comes to protecting the people he loves. When Rachel's return threatens to disrupt everything he's worked to safeguard, he'll do whatever it takes to stop her.

As attraction flares and new tensions rise, Rachel and Zane find themselves locked in a battle neither fully understands. But some secrets run deeper than either imagined, and the truth they're both fighting for might be the one thing that could destroy them—or finally set them free.

Yours to Cherish (Lantern Bay #3)

Archaeologist Madeleine MacGillivray came to Akaroa to fulfill a promise. Six months, then she's gone. What she didn't count on was Dr. Gabriel Connelly—or falling for the one man she can never have.

Madeleine came to New Zealand for one reason: to fulfil a deathbed promise that seemed simple at the time. Six months in Akaroa, then she can return to her life. What she didn't expect was Gabe—charming, persistent, and dangerously easy to fall for.

Dr. Gabriel Connelly has always been drawn to mysterious women, but Madeleine is different. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, she keeps him at arm's length, insisting they can only be friends. Something is driving her to keep her distance, and Gabe is determined to find out what.

As the months pass and their connection deepens, Madeleine faces an impossible choice: honor the promise that brought her here, or risk everything for a love she never saw coming. But some secrets have the power to destroy even the strongest bonds—and when the truth finally surfaces, it may be too late for both of them.

A story about promises that bind us, love that frees us, and the courage to choose your own path.
