Dreamers in Cheshire Bay
Dreamers in Cheshire Bay
Mia MacDonald loves Cheshire Bay more than she loves herself – just ask her former fiancé. Between the landscape, the people, and the idyllic setting, it’s her whole world. She’s happiest showing the area to people looking to enjoy a less-hectic, peaceful way of life and she’s not just Cheshire Bay’s number one realtor, she’s also their unofficial ambassador.
On the hunt for a fresh, new property, recently divorced Zachary Newton-Garcia discovers the small town hidden gem nestled along the Pacific coastline on Vancouver Island. Offer accepted sight unseen, he’s finally ready to see the place in person and move forward with his future business plans.
Until the effervescent Mia eclipses his heart and soul.
Expecting someone older, Mia is pleasantly surprised by the dashing, handsome man who takes in every animated word she speaks. It’s an instant and intense connection, filled with a swept-off-her-feet steaminess she reserves for dreaming.
Everything was perfect until she finds out the real reason Zachary bought a home in her utopia. The last thing she wanted was to declare war, but no one would change Cheshire Bay. Over her dead body.

Pregnant and suddenly jobless, Lily is desperate to figure out what she wants from life before the baby comes.

As she begins the renovations, she becomes reacquainted with her sexy neighbour, a charter pilot, who lives on the strip all year long. With his charm and laid-back attitude, Eric’s a distraction she doesn’t need right now. Besides, there’s no way he could possibly be attracted to the single mom-to-be, right?
Despite her repeated attempts to show she’s changed, Cheshire Bay refuses to welcome her back. Will she cave to the mounting pressure to return to the high-rise lifestyle, or will she put the rumours to rest and make Cheshire Bay – and Eric – her new home?
