Until his dark past comes crashing back when he learns his long-lost sister has passed away–and he has a six-month-old niece named Ruby. Flynn vows to give the little girl who now means everything to him a better childhood than he or his sister ever had. So when he finds out that Ruby’s nanny is trying to … sell their story to the press, he takes his niece as far from Hollywood as he can.
One of seven siblings in Bar Harbor, Cassie Sullivan has always been grateful for the love and support of her tight-knit family. Because of them, she had the courage to create a successful candy confection business. So when a friend of her cousin needs a place to stay with his baby for a few weeks, she’s happy to offer him her cabin in the woods. But from the first moment she meets Flynn and Ruby, her heart is lost to the gorgeous man and his adorable little girl.
Flynn has never met anyone as cheerful and open as Cassie. Instantly drawn to her, he finds himself telling her things about his past that he’s never spoken of to anyone–things that make him certain he could never be worthy of her. Only, Cassie isn’t about to let the pair who have stolen her heart go without a fight–using all the light, love, and laughter she can give them. Will the nightmares from Flynn’s past continue to haunt him and and steal away the joy of a future with Cassie? Or will Cassie’s love, and the support of her big family, be powerful enough to help him face his long-buried demons and conquer them at last?

Your Love is Mine by Bella Andre was the first book in the Maine Sullivan series and the nineteenth book in the overall Sullivan series.
Flynn Stewart was now a single father. He was an Award Winning Screenwriter who just adopted his late (and estranged) sister’s six month old daughter, Ruby. As an elite in Hollywood, he was fodder for the tabloids so he needed to privately get away. His friend, and famous Hollywood actor, Smith Sullivan had a cousin who rented out a cabin in a Maine remote town that was perfect for Flynn and Ruby.
Cassie Sullivan was sunshine. She brought goodness, happiness and light into everything she touched. She was also an artist who turned her passion for candy making into delicious art.
Andre created a sweet and sexy story with heartfelt moments. It was goodness mixed in with reflection, acceptance and new directions. It was a quintessential “good feels” story.
Andre also set the stage for the series by introducing each family member within the Maine Sullivan series, seven siblings in all. They each had distinct personalities which promised for another great series. The renowned artisan woodworker, Rory, is up next in There Goes My Heart.
I’ve read many books. Adored a great deal of characters. Discovered a number of new authors and enjoyed a great many tales, but no matter how far I roam, Bella Andre and her Sullivan series is never far from my heart. The Sullivans are the epitome of what a family should be. They live their best life because they know, they have love guiding the way. Your Love is Mine is the latest in a long line of captivating, heartbreaking and always inspirational reads. So happy to see that Cassie finally gets her story and what a beautifully, enchanting journey it is. Flynn should be enjoying the good life, but old heartaches continue to dog his present. When past and present collide with a broken heart, his precious Ruby paves his way home. From that first hello to the last goodbye, Andre makes every second count. I LOVE THAT!

Another hit from Bella. This starts the Maine Sullivan’s and all their wonderful children. Cassie lends her cabin to a friend of Smith’s & Valentina. He needs to get away from the press. But they both find more.
An absolutely fabulous way to start a new Sullivan family. Both Flynn and Cassie stole my heart immediately; their journey was so fun to follow. The love Flynn showed to Ruby had me melting. I have been hooked on the Sullivan family since the very first book and I am extremely thrilled to get to know Ethan and Beth’s family.
Cassie and Flynn’s story adds another dimension to the Sullivan family’s various series. I couldn’t put this book down! It was emotional, sexy, romantic, heartbreaking but with a most certain HEA. I read this book as part of the anthology Romance on Main Street and can’t wait to read more books about this branch of the Sullivans as well as other books in this wonderful anthology.
Oh, what a sweet and lovely story. I absolutely love Cassie and Flynn. Cassie with her sweet and happy nature and her big heart had me loving her from the start. And Flynn with his tragic past made me want to hug him. But what really got me was the cute addition of Ruby, the most adorable baby and Cassie’s family. Loved every moment of this sweet yet sexy romance.
You can’t really go past Bella Andre for wonderful characters and heart felt endings. Another lovely read from this expert in the genre of romance.
Another great book in this series and amazing cover!
Love this series!
Another fantastic page Turner to lose yourself in . Loved it
Loved It. Love Bella.
This book is a quick read. I think it was a little to unrealistic in parts. Pleasant characters if your looking for a simple read to pass time.
Love love love the Sullivans
I really loved this book as I do with most of the authors work. She writes with such heartwarming characters and true to life situations. The fact that the books are all around such a big Sullivan family just makes them even more charming. You can read it as a stand alone or enjoy it even more when you follow the entire series.
This is an enduring story about Cassie and her big giving heart. She allows a cousin’s friend stay at her cabin while he’s trying to get away from LA. The moment she mets Flynn and 6 month old Ruby her heart has taken a leap..love at first sight. Flynn is getting away from LA with his sister’s daughter, Ruby, when she died of an overdose pretty much like his loser mom and dad. He has made up his life so know ones know the real truth of his childhood until he mets Cassie. She does something to him no one has ever done…truly love him past, present and future. He’s able to open up to her and her family and start anew beginning with Ruby. Wonderful book which is a really good read.
Hooray for the Maine Sullivans! Cassie is a very sweet Sullivan who makes the most amazing candy creations. When her cousin, Smith, sends screenwriter Flynn Stewart and his newly adopted daughter to stay in her cabin, he has no idea just what he sets in motion. These two have chemistry for days! And Cassie falls in love with little Ruby on sight. But Flynn has secrets he’s been keeping that make him feel unworthy of Cassie. A wonderful introduction to the Maine contingent of the Sullivan clan.
This is the first story of the Maine branch of the Sullivan family tree. Our heroine, Cassie, rents her cabin to one of her cousin’s, Smith’s friends, who needs to get away from Hollywood. Our Hero, Flynn, who just assumed custody of his baby niece, Ruby, wants to shelter her from the nosy paparazzi that usually surrounds him due to his success as a screenwriter. I loved the slow build of trust and chemistry between these two, while also keeping their budding relationship on the down low from her family. I loved all the interaction between Cassie and Ruby when her maternal instincts would kick in. With that said, I had to suspend a little disbelief that Flynn seemed too at ease taking care of an infant, having had no prior exposure to babies before, unlike Cassie, who not only helped take care of her nephew, but is surrounded by babies with the extended Sullivan clan. I look forward to seeing more of this new, young family when Cassie’s siblings’ love stories start to bloom.
I always feel good when I have finished reading a Bella Andre book. She explores our emotions in a way that gives us hope and optimism. This is oh so true of Your Love Is Mine. Flynn Stewart tugged at my heartstrings. A man so beaten down by his past he becomes a new person. But now he has a very little person that is completely dependent on him and gives him unconditional love. He is so far out of his depth yet determined to give this baby everything he never got from his own family. Flynn escapes to Maine to avoid the media spotlight and to settle Ruby into a routine while learning to become a dad. He also needs to get his muse back. What he didn’t count on was falling head over heels with his landlady. Cassie Sinclair may be the incurable optimist but don’t we all need someone like that in our lives? She comes the polar oppisite upbringing as Flynn. As she worms her way into his life with her sunny disposition, huge loving family and complete acceptance of him, Flynn knows in order to be the man she deserves he must bare his soul and tell his story. Hopefully she will still want him after that.
