Blog postWild at Heart (Kincaids of Pine Harbour #3) comes out on Tuesday, and I’m very excited to share it with readers! I’m also struggling to write content notes for it, which I know people appreciate (and I like to provide! I have comprehensive content warnings for most of my Ainsley Booth books).
There is one major content note for this book: it deals with grief after a parent’s death. But my struggle, as I think about if I need to be more explicit, is that I think all my books are about9 months ago Read more -

Blog postI’ve blogged before about important anniversaries. June 15 is the annual marker of when I hit publish for the first time. May 1 is the day I became a full-time writer.
But I’ve never written out the full story before, and maybe some random Sunday in October is the time to do that, rather than actually on one of those anniversaries. Because today, the day after I’ve found a new wave of readers via a BookBub deal, on a book in a series I started because of that fateful May 1st conversat2 years ago Read more -

Blog postI wrote the first edition of Love in a Small Town in the summer of 2014. I had been laid off from my job, and this series, Pine Harbour, was my first attempt at writing something as a full-time romance author. My first series designed to be commercial, a balance between what my natural storytelling is and what resonates with the market.
Between then and now, I have written eight more books in this world (seven more in this series, and the first book in a spin-off series, The Kincaids2 years ago Read more -
Blog postLike a lot of families around the world, we are at home for the next few weeks. The Viking has been ordered by the military to self-isolate (because the army needs him to be healthy on command), and the kids’ school has been shut down until at least April 5.

Blog postA friend messaged me late last night: Happy anniversary, of a sort.
Me: [redacted because it wasn’t PG-13, but I thought it was the anniversary of some kind of sex, okay? I HAVE A FILTHY MIND]
Her, this morning: Uh, no. Yesterday was the anniversary of you buying a MacBook and deciding to be a FT writer.
?
Yes, yes it was. And Facebook didn’t remind me, so I didn’t know! But yesterday was in fact my five-year-anniversary of being a full-time writer.

Blog postEvery so often, I talk to a writer friend–sometimes a traditionally published author looking to diversify, and occasionally a writer weighing their options for what to do with a debut book. And a common worry I hear from them is, “The work of indie publishing is overwhelming. I don’t want to do it all.”
Honestly, this baffles me, because when I compare my work flow to that of my traditionally published friends, it feels very similar in terms of weight–maybe even lighter. That bei3 years ago Read more

Don’t miss out on this feel-good collection in support of a good cause!
He was the boy who held her after her abortion. Now he's the man who wants a second chance at her heart...
For twenty years, Seth Kincaid has kept his visits to his home town brief. He’s not avoiding January Howe, exactly—he’s giving his high school girlfriend space. But that distance evaporates when she takes over her family’s marina for the summer. Which means every time he flies his floatplane into the harbour, she’s there, and the temptation to fall into her sunny smile and forget about the past is stronger than ever. He can’t resist lending a hand, though. Not when she needs the help.
January has a lot on her plate. She’s temporarily raising her niece and nephew while her sister is overseas, and running the family business, too. The last thing she needs is the dangerous risk of pretending a fling with Seth could be simple. Except the grown man version of the boy she once dated is…perfectly easy. He helps with the kids, no questions asked, and then once they’re asleep, satisfies her in ways her eighteen-year-old self couldn’t have imagined.
But two decades of distance is a shadow layered on top of complicated, long-ago memories.
Whatever this temporary magic spell they are under, it can only be for the summer. Any chance of something else between them evaporated the day Seth joined the Air Force—and broke her teenage heart.
Adam Kincaid wants to be known as his own person: not the easiest thing to do as the youngest of five brothers in a small town where everyone knows exactly who his family is. Unexpectedly getting hitched to his former army captain wasn’t quite what he had in mind, though.
Isla Peterson knows exactly what she’s gotten herself into with the younger Kincaid: a marriage of convenience. In return, she gets a bakery of her own, and the company of a friend who has as little faith in love as she does.
But as their public charade starts to feel surprisingly real behind closed doors, Isla’s ex-husband shows up, asking all the wrong questions. If the truth of their relationship comes out, the safety they’ve found could come crashing down.
Welcome back to Pine Harbour, in this sexy small town romance about two friends who don’t believe in love, but do believe in each other.
Owen Kincaid knows how hard it is to have a kid when you’re still a kid yourself, and eighteen years after the fact, the paramedic watching his daughter go through the same thing. The last thing she needs is him falling for the new woman in town—her midwife.
Kerry Humphrey finds her new client’s father...unsettling. He's tall and brooding and always there, hovering in the background of appointments. And then there's the crackle of off-limits chemistry every time they’re alone. She hates that, too, but Pine Harbour is a tiny place, and avoiding the young grandfather-to-be in a town of six hundred people and a single Main Street proves impossible.
Everything about their attraction is ill-fated. But it won't go away.
Fall in love with the Kincaids of Pine Harbor in this sizzling start to a brand-new small town romance series from New York Times Bestselling Author Zoe York.
Everyone in Pine Harbour loves Will Kincaid—except the one person he cares about actually impressing. Can grown men have crushes on their frenemies? When Catie joins the small town’s Search and Rescue team, Will finds himself spending every Thursday night swapping glares with the hairdresser while they get in each other’s way.
Catie Berton has a long list of reasons why Will is an arrogant jerk. But the more time she spends with him, the more she’s forced to admit sometimes they make a good team. That doesn’t change the fact that Will has always been her right crush, wrong guy.
When the SRT goes on a road trip to a competition, she surprises herself by agreeing to ride shotgun in his truck. The long drive could be a chance to repair a shredded friendship, if Catie can get past her complicated feelings for the too-attractive-for-his-own-good school principal.
Because Catie knows all too well how cold a small town can be to an outsider who wants too much happiness from one of their own.
Return to Pine Harbour, in this frenemies to lovers small town romance about two people looking to find themselves in the shadow of community expectations.
Also available in this series: standalone novels Reckless at Heart and Fierce at Heart. Each book is about a different couple.
Are they one late-night hayride away from tumbling back into a very bad idea?
Olivia Minelli needs a one-way ticket out of Pine Harbour. It's too small for both her and her ex-husband. So when a new job falls into her lap, she grabs it with both hands. When this contract is complete, she'll have enough money saved up to leave town for good. Which means settling some unresolved business with the only man she's ever truly loved, once and for all.
Rafe Minelli knows he won’t get a second chance at what he once had with his ex-wife. The demands of his double career—as a police officer and military reservist—were a dealbreaker when they were together. And he’s thrilled for her new opportunity. But with it comes a ticking clock that forces both of them to address the smouldering embers of a connection that just won't go away.
They aren’t the same young kids who rushed into marriage the first time. But as summer slides into fall, Rafe sets out to prove he’s a changed man before he loses her forever. One hayride at a time.
For the first time ever in print, Zoe York breaks down how she plans a series—something she has done ten times over.

Tasha doesn’t realize who Matt is related to until he gives her his number at the end of a perfect day. Turning down his request for a second date—with both her and her daughter—is the hardest thing she’s ever done. But her history with his brother, and her firm commitment to living a drama-free life for her daughter, means she can’t flirt with, sleep with, or dream about Jake Foster’s younger brother.
Not even if he makes her daughter laugh.
Not even if he seeks her out again and shows her just how interested he is in every part of her life. Because there’s no such thing as a truly secret affair—and Tasha’s done with being anyone’s guilty pleasure.
Tom Minelli doesn't know why Chloe Davis has fled Pine Harbour, but she's pregnant with his baby and he wants her back. Not just back in town. He wants Chloe back in his life, and not as the casual hook-up friends they were before. But finding her proves harder than he expected—and when he does track her down, a snow storm rolls in right behind him, trapping them together in a cabin on the lake.
