“Fall in love with Jill Shalvis! She’s my go-to read for humor and heart.”— Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author

Beloved New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis begins a new series—Sunrise Cove—set near beautiful Lake Tahoe, with a heartwarming story of found family and love.

During the snowstorm of the century Levi Cutler is stranded on a ski lift with a beautiful stranger named Jane. After strong winds hurl the gondola in front of them into the ground, Levi calls his parents to prepare them for the worst…but can’t bring himself to say goodbye. Instead, wanting to fulfill his mother’s lifelong wish, he impulsively tells her he’s happily settled and Jane is his girlfriend—right before his phone dies.

But Levi and Jane do not.

Now Levi’s family is desperate to meet “The One.” Though Jane agrees to be his pretend girlfriend for just one dinner, she’s nervous. After a traumatic childhood, Jane isn’t sure she knows how to be around a tight-knit family that cherishes one another. She’s terrified, and a little jealous. But an unexpected series of events and a host of new friends soon show Jane that perhaps this is the life she was always meant to have.

As Jane and Levi spend more time together, pretend feelings quickly turn into real ones. Now all Jane has to do is admit to herself she can’t live without the man she’s fallen in love with and the family she has always dreamed of.

Walls can be broken down

A great story of self reflection & revelation. I loved how a key experience helped them to find themselves both individually & together. I found myself laughing at multiple points during this book. Cute, whitty, entertaining, & lighthearted.

Excellent story line!

Laughter, tears and love all in one. Captivating and family filled fun. Just enough romance. Great Read!

beautiful story but....

Truly loved this story , but so much left undone, not sure if there is another book , but ending jumps 5 yrs and end 30seconds later , IMO a couple more pages with a brief update would have been nice

Another fabulous story

Another fabulous series of characters from Jill Shalvis. I was captured from the beginning with the main characters and then all of the side characters as well. The narration was spot on and so easy to listen to…absolutely loved. Can’t wait for more in the series.

The Families you make

Beautiful story about finding love after experiences that made you afraid it is not really possible.
