What Matters Most

A PERMANENT VACATION

With only seven days in the sun drenched splendor of Mexico, Carla knew she couldn’t expect to find “Mr. Right.” Then she met Philip, and all her plans for a casual vacation romance melted in the blaze of the hot Mexican sun.

But Philip was a cop just like her dad not the kind of man Carla wanted to get serious with. So when the vacation ended, so would the affair.

Back home in Seattle, Carla knew that it hadn’t been the tropical sun that set her blood afire. It had been Philip. And she wanted him back….

A young woman finds herself torn between two very different men in this warm, compassionate novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Abby Carpenter longs for the type of romance she reads about in books. She loves her volunteer work teaching English as a second language, and has found her relationship with her boyfriend, Logan, just as fulfilling. But lately, she’s thinking she needs a little spice in her life. Then she meets Tate, a handsome stranger, after a lesson in the park. Everything about him seems too good to be true, and he’s infatuated with Abby—but she can’t help assuming there’s got to be a catch.

Tate just might provide the sense of adventure Abby has been searching for. But when Logan, always steadfast in his commitment, gives her an ultimatum, Abby must choose: Who will make her happier? And is falling in love worth the risk?
