First in the USA-Today and Kindle Top-20 bestselling PACIFIC HORIZONS series!
In these interconnected romantic novels, characters facing tragedy, heartbreak, and painful family secrets are drawn to the wild beauty of the natural world. Breaching whales and howling wolves refresh their spirits, but only human love can heal their souls.Haley knew that carrying her twin sister’s baby would be a … twin sister’s baby would be a sacrifice.
She just didn’t know how great.
Pregnant, overworked, and driven to the end of her rope by the neediness of the sister and widowed mother who depend on her, a high-powered young attorney seeks refuge with a week’s vacation on the Alaskan coast. As overachiever Haley soaks up the serenity of her unexpectedly agreeable surroundings, she finds something else she doesn’t expect — deep feelings for the wildlife-loving boat captain who reminds her how to laugh.
With her unborn niece or nephew on the way and thousands of miles of ocean between their lives and careers, Haley and Ben settle for a friendship. But back home in California, the emptiness in Haley’s heart begins to fester. When her pregnancy takes a frightening turn, she must examine what really matters — and rediscover the childhood dream she never realized she had lost.
Praise for romantic fiction by Edie Claire:
LONG TIME COMING
“Emotionally gripping, suspenseful and superb… I was held in wonderment over much of this story and realized early on to expect the unexpected. This is a story of trust, love, friendship and healing. Ms. Claire is an author I hope to see more of in the future. If Long Time Coming is any indication of her writing talent, I will be first in line at the bookstores to get more of her work. This is a positively splendid tale from start to finish and is highly recommended.” Reviewer’s Choice Award — Road to Romance
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Edie Claire has written a wonderful novel about friendship, love, guilt and death… Utterly riveting.” Rating: 10/10 — Contemporary Romance Writers
MEANT TO BE
“One of the best books I have read this year… An element of suspense runs through the pages, and the endearing tale builds to a crescendo of excitement and thrill while warming the heart. Meant To Be is a powerful story of love, healing, discovery and truth… I closed the covers wishing I could stay inside the green world of Meara and Fletcher’s mountain. Ms. Claire has woven a tale that touched my soul and will live as a cherished keeper to read again and again. I am pleased to award Meant To Be our finest honor, RRT’s Perfect 10.” Perfect 10 Award — Romance Reviews Today

The descriptions of the Alaskan countryside were great! The main female character went above and beyond for her sister.
All in all a very good book.
Very slow-moving…

After reading this book I searched for and read other books by Edie Claire.
Very enjoyable. Characters are easy to like. Made me want to go see Alaska.
Great read.
,great book
Sweet romance that starts in Alaska. I have been to Alaska a couple of times and Hawaiii and understand the draw and the feelings about the wildlife. Would recommend, especially for a weekend, vacation, or when snowed in.
Just completely awesome book!!!! Loved her style of writing and downloaded another of her books.
I’m not usually a fan of romances, but this one caught my eye because Alaska is one of my favorite places. I found it delightful, well written, and factual. The characters are strong and believable. The ending is surprising and a little idealistic but totally delightful! We should all be so lucky with love!
Liked reading about Alaska and small towns
I loved reading about the environment and scenery. Makes one want to book a flight to that area of AK.
Cute storyline and characters that kept me wanting to read on and on.
Original story line with beautiful description of Alaskan scenery & wildlife.
Loved the setting in Alaska and it took me there.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a quick page turner with great characters and a fun story. Descriptions of the beautiful Alaska wilderness made the story very easy to visualize.
Part of a series, characters are enjoyable enough to read the others in the series.
Loved it
Relatable human and endearing thank you Edie Claire
