Come to Whiskey Creek, the heart of Gold Country!
Join the many readers who’ve fallen in love with Whiskey Creek, the Northern California town created by New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak.

Book 1: WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES

Gail DeMarco left Whiskey Creek to make a name for herself in Los Angeles. Her PR firm has a roster of A-list clients, including the sexy and unpredictable Simon O’Neal. But Simon, who’s just been through a turbulent divorce, won’t cooperate, so she drops him—and he retaliates by taking the rest of her clients with him. Desperate to save her company, Gail makes a deal with Simon. What he wants is custody of his son, but that’s going to require a whole new image. He needs to marry some squeaky-clean girl like Gail, who’ll drag him off to some small, obscure place like Whiskey Creek…

Book 2: WHEN SNOW FALLS

After growing up in cheap motels, moving from town to town with her sister and mother, Cheyenne Christensen is grateful to be on her own. She’s grateful, too, for the friends she found once her family settled in California. But she’s troubled by the mystery of her earliest memories, most of which feature a smiling blonde woman. A woman who isn’t her mother. She’s determined to find answers—but things get even more complicated when she lands right in the arms of Dylan Amos, oldest and baddest of the hell-raising Amos brothers. He’s exactly the kind of guy she’s sworn to avoid. But…maybe there’s more to Dylan than she thought. Maybe letting him go would be a bigger mistake.

Book 3: WHEN SUMMER COMES

One day, Callie Vanetta receives devastating news. She needs a liver transplant. But her doctors warn that, in her case, the chances of finding a compatible donor aren’t good. Determined to spend whatever time she has left on her own terms, she keeps the diagnosis to herself and moves out to her late grandparents’ farm. One night, a stranger comes knocking at her door. He’s an attractive and mysterious drifter by the name of Levi McCloud, and he offers to trade work for shelter. Callie figures she doesn’t have anything to lose. He needs a temporary place to stay; she needs an extra pair of hands. Then she realizes she does have something to lose—her heart.

And…you’re invited to a wedding in Whiskey Creek in this special bonus novella, WHEN WE TOUCH!

Whiskey Creek—a town you’ll love! Find out why…

"Series fans will rejoice to see Eve find her happily ever after in this engrossing holiday hit that has more than its fair share of suspense."
"Although filled with plenty of fall and winter holiday atmosphere, this story has a lot more going for it. Affecting, painful, sometimes funny, but ultimately satisfying, this engrossing tale of love and forgiveness takes on real problems and gives its characters the strength and compassion to come through with flying colors. Real people–with all their virtues and vices–live in Whiskey Creek, and Ted and Sophia will be two more you’ll be glad to have met."

"Author Brenda Novak creates a the mental look and feel of a small town with secrets to hide. Her characters are full of deep emotion and I could feel their inner conflict. With a disturbing plot, Ms. Novak has brought focus on the victims of violent crimes who are ill-equipped to come forward and brave the scrutiny of prying eyes and small minds. This is not an isolated story, but is so well-written, that this will stay with you long after the last page. Is it disturbing? But what if just one real-life victim came forward because they recognized Adelaide’s pain?"

"I'm a sucker for a good tale about redemption and second chances. This one had such beautiful details that it captured my full attention — and had me sniffling and smiling while waiting to board my plane."
"...for those who enjoy sexual tension and strong relationships between characters, look no further then this book and this author!"

"Great storytelling knows no genre and Brenda Novak has fashioned an angst-riddled tale of struggle and redemption poised within a forgotten slice of small town Americana. Exceedingly well written and told by a master of her craft."

"Novak delivers a lively, sparkling series debut, proving that a timeworn plot and stock characters can be alchemized into romantic gold by a superior novelist. The love story blossoms naturally, which is rare nowadays, when so many writers contrive to dump their lovers into bed by page 30. Additionally, by populating Whiskey Creek with realistic characters — instead of ‘quirky’ caricatures — Novak ensures that readers will eagerly await their next visit."

"Novak’s novella is a quick read and utterly romantic... With short novels it’s sometimes difficult to create a dynamic bond between the main characters yet Novak has done this. A recommended read for the romantics out there."
