Addison Cole Synopses: The Corner of Heartbreaker and Forever is a standalone novel by Addison Cole. Grace Montgomery returns to her Michigan hometown hoping for a quiet reset. Teaching a screenplay writing class feels like the perfect break from New York, until her sisters drag her out of bed before dawn to watch the local horse trainers. Their small‑town chaos is harder to escape than she remembered, and then she sees the one man she never wanted to face again: Reed Cross.

Reed was once a respected historical preservation expert, but after discovering a painful betrayal and rushing home when his uncle fell ill, he has cut ties with his old life. Running his uncle’s business brings him back to Oak Falls, and a chance encounter with Grace, his first love, stirs memories he has spent years trying to outrun.

Grace is determined to keep her distance. Reed wants another chance with the woman he has never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, old feelings flare and old wounds reopen. Grace sets strict rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and ideally no breathing, because every moment near him makes it harder to think clearly.

Reed has plans of his own, and he is not ready to let her slip away again.

A Love So Sweet is book 1 in Addison Cole’s Sweet with Heat: Weston Bradens series. Treat Braden was not looking for love when Max Armstrong walked into his Nassau resort, but he saw through the calm, capable facade she used as armor to the warm, vulnerable woman beneath. One unforgettable night created a connection he could not shake, and for the first time in his life he wanted more than something casual. Then Max pulled away without explanation, leaving Treat with weeks of unanswered calls and a longing he cannot outrun. Returning to his family’s ranch feels like the only way to move forward.

A chance reunion changes everything. When Treat and Max cross paths again, honesty and desire collide, and Max finally reveals the painful past she has kept hidden. Treat vows to stand by her, to help her face the shadows she has carried for far too long, and to prove that she deserves a future filled with love.

Read, Write, Love at Seaside by Addison Cole is the first book in the Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers series. Kurt Remington is a bestselling author who lives for the quiet rhythm of writing. Twelve hours a day at his computer, the steady hush of the ocean, and the solitude of his beachfront home are all he needs to finish his latest thriller. That is, until free‑spirited Leanna Bray nearly drowns trying to save her dog and Kurt’s carefully ordered world is thrown completely off balance.

Leanna has come to the Cape hoping to build a future in the jam‑making business, and romance is nowhere on her list. But she cannot stop thinking about the six‑foot‑two, impossibly neat writer who rescued her. What begins as a simple thank you turns into an afternoon filled with warmth, laughter, and a spark neither of them expected.

As Kurt and Leanna collide in a classic case of opposites attract, their connection grows into something sweet, surprising, and impossible to ignore. Chemistry has its own rules, and these two are about to learn every one of them.
