Sunset Cove

They were connected by a nightmare, and bound together by a dream. Sunset Cove had always seemed too limited, too impoverished for waitress Lacy Kennedy. Desperately in search of a better life, she's left trouble behind and worked hard toward the dream of opening her own bakery. No way she's ever going to let anyone drag her back into the nightmare of her past-not even a man as captivating as Chase Alexander. From foster child to police officer, Chase has traveled a long road back to Sunset Cove, carrying with him the kind of news he knows will make Lacy hate him. Despite her icy exterior, he's drawn to her in a way he never expected-a way that makes him dream of new beginnings, of pasts forgiven ... of love on the lake. Reviews and Other Information: "M. Jean Pike has once again worked her magic with SUNSET COVE, the third book in her Love on the Lake series... [She] has an incredible ability not only to bring characters to life but to make the reader a part of their world. SUNSET COVE is a reader-satisfying mixture of unforgettable characters, suspense, redemption and love." -Author L. J. Hippler "As always, this wonderful, romantic storyteller crafts a tale that tugs at our hearts. I consider myself a regular cynic but there's always a phrase, a scene that brings tears to my eyes. This is Ms Pike's gift. Her character come over as real flesh and blood people and she is a writer that makes you believe in their loves, hates, pains and dramas... There is a special depth of feeling in this story, plus wisdom and tenderness. Yes, the Love on the Lake series is growing deeper and stronger and it's always good to find old, familiar characters popping up again. There's always the good feeling, even in the most scary and dramatic moments of the story, that it will all turn out right in the end. We need this re-assurance that life isn't always mean and that love can bring a happy ending now and then."-Author Loretta Proctor
