Talk of the Town Series Boxset
by Melanie Jayne

Book One -- Cut to the Chase

Small Towns have long memories...

Anna Ridley thought she outlasted the rumors of her parentage that haunted her all her life. Her salon, Talk of the Town, was a huge success.

Then...Horace Crowne, the town's patriarch, died and left her a huge inheritance.

Now, it falls to Chase Sloan---an attorney for the estate---to investigate the matter and determine if she's a biological recipient of Horace's fortune. Family secrets. Malicious exes. Brewing attractions. Boiling rivalries.

All of it has twisted Anna's life into a tangled mess.

Can Chase comb through the clues to find the truth? Or will his constant pressing cause Anna to cut him from her life... and her heart?

Book Two -- There's the Rub

For years, Sheridan (Danni) Yates has felt she had to take on the world alone. The beautiful loner moves from city to city, always holding back and never allowing herself to fit in.

Hunter Roberts senses something special about Danni shortly after she moves to his quaint hometown. Like him, she keeps to herself and lives quietly. Is it possible she's battling ghosts of her past, as he does?

Together, they feel they can face anything.

There's the Rub. Can Danni and Hunter open up to one another and share the secrets that haunt them? Or will fear destroy their chance at real happiness?

Book Three -- Nothing Permanent

It's supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement and nothing more.

Jules gains a roommate who can renovate her old house and keep her loser brother away.

Liam gets a place to crash after his release from prison.

Neither are prepared for the instantaneous attraction that flares between them.

Fate hasn't favored either of them. Could their "nothing permanent" arrangement finally lead to the happiness they both crave?
