Blurb:
Welcome to the small town of Lindsey Point, where hunky heroes and smart, sassy heroines abound! For the first time, readers can enjoy the first three books in the Hometown Heroes series by USA Today bestselling author Allie Boniface.
In BEACON OF LOVE, a haunted lighthouse and a 50-year old murder mystery take center stage, along with a romance about to erupt between a NYC travel journalist and a hunky local handyman who’s forced to step in as her cameraman. Lucas wants to protect the town's secrets, but Sophie is bent on uncovering them at all costs. Sparks fly, but local legends are about to crumble…
The secrets continue in INFERNO OF LOVE, when teenage sweethearts Finn and Aubrey are reunited after ten years. But since their summer love affair, a fire has turned him into a hero, while a horrific accident stole her memory. She doesn’t remember him. He’s never forgotten her. Now Finn and Aubrey must come to terms with the past if they have any chance of building a future together.
Finally, get ready for two intertwined love stories in LABYRINTH OF LOVE. Outsider Chase Reardon and local resident Shannon O'Brien thought they were strangers assigned to work on the same small town project, until a forbidden love story from 60 years ago linked them in unimaginable ways. How far will we go, and what kinds of secrets will we keep, to stay with the one we love?
"I really enjoyed reading the stories created by Allie Boniface because they remind me that even in the most unsuspecting situations, everything that is wonderful comes together in the end which is truly indicative of the classic romance novel. Do yourself a favor and read them...you'll be happy you did!" --Today's Writing Woman

Excerpt
From BEACON OF LOVE:
“Hey, you want some
coffee?” Sophie asked. “There’s always a fresh pot brewing in the trailer.” In
wedge sandals with ribbons that wrapped around her ankles, she gained about two
or three inches, but that still brought her only to Lucas’s chin. Maybe. Didn’t
matter. Every one of her curves was within easy reach.
He shook his head and
stuffed both hands into his pockets. “Had a couple-a cups earlier. But thanks.”
“I’m not much of a
caffeine addict myself. But the guys like it.” She ran her fingers over the
headband. “So what do you think? My hair still look like a helmet?”
Lucas felt himself turn a
couple of shades of red. “I don’t know. It’s fine. I didn’t really look at it.”
“Sure you didn’t.” She
turned to look at the small stone structure behind the lighthouse itself. “Did
you hear? Lon got permission to film inside the keeper’s house.”
“Heard him mention it.”
She studied him, resting
one hand on a slim hip. “Not much of a conversationalist, are you?”
“Didn’t know that was a
requirement for the job.”
She shrugged. “It isn’t.
You want to check it out with me?”
Hell,
yeah
were the first words that came to mind. “Uh, sure,” were the ones he managed to
get out.
“Cool.” She turned and
headed toward the house, and after Lucas set his camera on one of the flatbed
trailers parked on the sand, he went after her.
She had a few paces on
him, but in her fancy shoes she wobbled and sank every few steps, so he caught
up to her almost at once.
“Hey.” She reached for
his arm as he approached. “Can you give a girl a hand?” Her fingers landed
somewhere around his elbow, and instinctively he crooked it so she could hold
on. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” A jolt of
something good, definitely hot, more than a little suggestive, zoomed from his
elbow straight to his groin. He thought about putting his other hand over hers
for extra support and balance, but after a second or two he wasn’t sure he’d be
able to stop it from moving elsewhere--say, up her arm to her bare shoulder or
her neck, her earlobe or maybe the dark waves of hair brushing her shoulders.
He kept his other hand in
his pocket instead and struggled not to think X-rated thoughts as her hip
bumped against his every few steps. In a minute they reached the keeper’s
house, a small, square one-story building, gray and weathered from the salt air
the way most homes near the ocean tended to be. It had a solid but old door, a
crumbling stoop, a chimney that had seen better days. A cracked window or two.
Guess ten years of neglect would do that to a place. To a place, and a town,
and the people who lived there too.
Sophie stepped back from
the door, close to Lucas. Close enough that he could smell her perfume or
lotion or shampoo or something. He didn’t know or care what the hell it was,
only that it was enough to make him stop thinking about anything except the way
Sophie’s bare skin would feel next to his, her legs tangled with his and his
hands in her hair and--
“Here we go.” The
producer turned the key, and Sophie followed him inside, and the moment was
gone. Just in time, too, because Mr. Wake-up-and-Look was turning into Mr.
Wake-up-and-Let’s-Go in a hurry. Hell,
keep it under control, Oakes. Think about the Red Sox. Lucas yanked at the
bill of his baseball cap and stepped across the threshold.
