Despite moving back home to be near family, Jeremiah Langfield tends to shut out any offers for help when it comes to his daughter, Charlie. He’s the only parent she has left and he’s determined to always be there for her, even if that means making sacrifices. Retiring early from the NHL had been an easy decision, but when he meets Charlie’s new hockey coach, he’s struggling to remember why relationships are off the table. Add on that Charlie adores her and Jeremiah finds himself on thin ice. Zoe Daniels has been hiding from her past ever since one tragic event turned her life on its head and destroyed her hockey career. Stepping back into the world that hurt her is terrifying, but she can’t deny that hockey is, and always will be, the love of her life. The trick is allowing herself to lean on others for strength and to let them in as she finally faces off against her demons.

When a violent storm rips through Wisteria Creek, Madison Cole loses more than her home. She also loses the fragile stability she’s spent years building for her and her daughter. Forced to stay in the guest house of her best friend’s infuriating, undeniably attractive older brother, she finds herself confronting memories she thought she’d outgrown. Seth Cunningham has always been the man she could never quite figure out. The boy who teased her, the teenager who kept his distance, and the adult who now watches her with a quiet intensity she doesn’t understand. Living steps apart was supposed to be temporary. However, beneath long summer evenings and soft moments they never meant to share, their friction begins to shift into something neither of them is ready for. Under a sky broken open by storms, Madison and Seth learn that sometimes the pieces left behind create something stronger, deeper, and worth fighting for. Frenemies-to-lovers tension, found family warmth, and the tender pull of a love written in the quiet moments: Beneath the Broken Sky is a heart-stirring small-town romance about healing, hope, and home. “Emily’s writing evokes emotions I’m drawn to. It’s inherently familiar in a way that allows you to step into her world and truly live there. I’m obsessed and in love and can't wait for more!” - Willow Winters, Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling Author
