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

Loved this book! Clear sense of place, realistic characters I would love to meet, interesting and unusual plot with enough unpredictability that I couldn’t put it down.
The characters and story line held my interest and the author’s description of Alaska was informative and added to the uniqueness of the story.
Loved the descriptions of both Alaska and Maui
Enjoyed very much. Not too much sex details.
How a young woman learned that she was just as important as those around her. Beautiful description of the Alaskan countryside. This is a story of a woman who decided to be a surrogate Mom for her twin sister’s child. Typical family dynamics where everyone wants her to do what they want and she decides to leave town and go to Alaska. Good story.
I have now read the series and enjoyed them all
I loved this book from beginning to end. I love how they were each willing to make sacrifices in their careers for the other person and I loved how it ended. Highly recommend this book. I keep thinking about the book and this couple!! Love how the author kept it clean even though it hinted of more. Thanks!!

Have not finished but is good- holding my interest.
So good! Couldn’t put the book down until I finished it!!
A nice light read but not too sappy.
Enjoyed the characters and Alaska. Would like to read more in the series.
Great read. Loved it. Can’t wait to read others.
Totally different then what I thought it would be. Loved how the main characters interdicted.
I enjoyed the evolution of the characters, the informative slant to the storyline, and best of all…a love story without being subjected to page after page of overly descriptive sexual antics. I highly recommend this book for a clean, fun, romantic story.
Enjoyed that both characters were willing to give up so much to be with the other.
Good read, I like any story set in Alaska. Interesting jobs held by characters, nice twist at the end aligning their jobs.
I enjoyed it very much!
