Description
Follow the stories of Emma and Sophie as they discover love and deal with the ups and downs of life.

—————————————————-
A Novel Change
—————————————————-
Emma was a daydreamer, born to put pen to paper as a romance novelist. A steadfast city-girl, she’s in her element in all the hustle and bustle.
When she finds herself the subject of media attention for all the wrong reasons, she takes her friend Sophie’s advice to take a break and stay at her cottage on a small farm in the country. But her friend won’t be there, and she won’t be alone. Sophie’s older brother shares the cottage, a no-nonsense country boy who doesn’t appreciate having his peace and quiet spoiled by having a stranger move in. Especially not some fancy city-girl who wastes her days writing soppy love stories. Can she win over the grumpy cowboy? Does she even want to?
Liam Tanner is a simple man of the land and tragically already a widower at his young age. He wants nothing more than to potter around his sister’s farm as he comes to terms with the grief of losing his beloved wife and unborn child. The intrusion of his sister’s friend is unwelcome and uncomfortable – She has no business being so damned pretty and messing with the peaceful cocoon he’d created for himself. It might be time he moved on and allowed himself to love again, but surely not with the city-girl with glitter nails who will only be around for a short time.

Million Dollar Change
—————————————————-
There’s something not quite right about Sophie’s new farmhand. He is polite, charming, good looking…. and scared of the animals
The more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced that he’s hiding something. When she finally discovers the truth about the man she’s fallen in love with, it’s nothing she ever could have imagined. They come from completely different worlds and there are a million reasons why they shouldn’t be together. He stepped into her life looking for a change, and she got a whole lot more than she bargained for.

Sudden Change
—————————————————-
There’s trouble in paradise. With the sudden death of Sebastian’s parents, a heavy workload that sees him working late nights, and a shock discovery that turns their world upside down – Sophie and Sebastian face a challenge they have never faced before. While things may seem to have hit rock bottom, they discover a silver lining they never anticipated.

Depictions of death & grief
Liam’s former wife and unborn child died a few years prior to the start of the book (mentioned only) and are heavily referenced throughout the story, although the grief itself is not really portrayed in the story.
Emma witnesses a car accident and resulting death of stranger – not portrayed graphically, but she has an emotional response to seeing the body
Unplanned (but wanted) Pregnancy & Childbirth
Emma finds out she’s pregnant before the two have had a chance to discuss having children and while they are living together unmarried. The sections involving her pregnancy (which is wanted by both) deals with Liam dealing with his trauma from losing his child in his previous marriage.
The book does not state whether or not they are married by the time the child is born (although Liam has proposed, so it can be interpreted that they have or have not – depending on your preference)
Emma gives birth on the side of the road on the way to the hospital, with Liam having to deliver it – being scared to do so given he lost a previous child in childbirth. The scene does not have graphic content and is more centred on Liam’s distress and fears. (The delivery is a smooth success and everything is fine!)
Other Warnings – A Novel Change Spoilers
Emma has conflicted feelings over whether to choose Liam or Sam. At a point in the story there is one instance where she spends the day with Sam and an unplanned night with Liam (which Sam does not discover until the next morning) – creating an overlap where it could be considered that she cheats on Sam by having an intimate night with Liam.
Emma and Liam do not have sex that night, but they establish an intimate relationship that solidifies her decision to choose Liam. The three of them civilly discuss the situation afterwards.
Sudden Change Warnings – Alcohol abuse, allegations of cheating. Relationship drama and separation. Miscommunication
