Jill Shalvis combines two of her Lucky Harbor series books into a two-in-one volume called LUCK AT FIRST SIGHT. This reissue of books nine and ten brings readers back to the town and characters that are already so beloved.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Aubrey Wellington is starting over after a scandal by reopening and renovating her late aunt's bookstore. A chance meeting with a local preacher has her making amends to people she wronged. Aubrey is about to find that the one person she wronged the most is the hardest to confront. Ben McDaniel married his high school sweetheart after being separated for two years. After her death, he’s been on a journey of helping others, which puts him in danger. Ben decides it’s time to stop his wandering and stay home but a carpentry job renovating the local bookstore just may be the answer to his restlessness.

A job renovating the bookstore brings Audrey and Ben together and their attraction is undeniable. They have to work through their individual pasts and secrets to hopefully figure out that they’re meant to be in a relationship. Help from their friends and family might be the push they’ll need to move past the fear to find a happily ever after.

IT'S IN HIS KISS
Becca Thorpe has moved to Lucky Harbor looking to get away from her past. Starting over won’t be easy but of course, the town works its magic on the new resident. Becca is about to find out that there are no strangers in her new home. Sam Brody had a turbulent childhood. His one safe haven was his foster home in Lucky Harbor. Sam and his two best friends own the local charter business and he offers Becca a job. Becca and Sam will have to work through their pasts looking for the happily ever after both weren’t looking for. But mixing business and pleasure never goes according to plan... =

This wonderful two-in-one book brings readers to Lucky Harbor and showcases its quirky characters. Lives and love are put to the test by these four people trying to figure out if they can get past their individual pasts to find a happy ever after together. Both of these stories show couples working to find true love with the unwanted help of best friends and the whole town of Lucky Harbor’s senior citizens, a set of twins named Pink and Kendra, and a Great Dane named Kevin. LUCK AT FIRST SIGHT by Jill Shalvis is a great way to return or visit Lucky Harbor.

SUMMARY

Lucky Harbor is twice as fun in these two full-length romances.

Once in a Lifetime
After a wrenching loss, Ben McDaniel tried to escape his grief by working in dangerous, war-torn places overseas. Now he's back in his hometown and face-to-face with Aubrey Wellington, the hot-as-hell woman who is trouble with a capital T. Family and friends insist she's not the one to ease his pain, but Aubrey sparks an intense desire that gives Ben hope for the future. Determined to right the wrongs of her past, Aubrey is working hard to make amends. But by far, the toughest challenge to her plan is sexy, brooding Ben--even though he has absolutely no idea what she's done . . .Can this unlikely couple defy the odds and win over the little town of Lucky Harbor?


It's in His Kiss
Becca Thorpe has uprooted her life and escaped to the beach. Now's her chance to get away from city living, throw caution to the ocean winds, and live in the moment. Especially if the moment includes the deliciously sexy surfer she meets shortly after arriving in Lucky Harbor. Boatbuilder and investment genius Sam Brody is a self-made man who knows how dangerous it can be to mix business and pleasure. But he can't resist offering Becca a job just to hear her laugh and have her near.
