The Oakley Island Romcoms follow three very different sisters as they renovate the house they inherited and find love on the island along the way.
The stories are standalone, but if you like continuous stories, it’s recommended to read them in order. Each book is a closed-door romance, with sizzling chemistry but no spice.
