Holly Lane is Here!

Holly Lane is now in stores! The much-anticipated fourth book in the Destiny series and follow-up to One Reckless SummerSugar Creek, and Whisper Falls releases today. Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas gift to herself—until her ex's best friend, Adam Becker, shows up at the door, claiming the cabin is his! And if that's not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how gorgeous he was? So far there are six books slated to take place in Destiny, and now is the perfect time to get caught up on the series. Start now with the excerpt for Holly Lane.

Holly Lane is available at numerous booksellers and retail outlets, including Amazon (both as a paperback and on Kindle), Barnes & Noble (paperback and Nookbook) and Book Depository, which offers free worldwide shipping.  Don’t see it at your local store? Be sure to ask someone to help you find or order it.

Reviewers are loving Holly Lane so far! Publisher's Weekly wrote, "Blake balances cinematic imagery (a live reindeer in the backyard) with silliness (Adam in a reindeer suit inviting Sue Ann to play "reindeer games") while tugging on readers' heartstrings like a virtuoso harpist." Romantic Times gave it 4 stars and said, "Blake does it again with a Christmas tale that will make your spirit joyful. It's a compelling read with a little depth. The realistic characters make the story a treat and the small-town feel creates an intimate reading experience. You'll be glad you took another trip to Destiny." Read more of the early praise for Holly Lane.
