Melinda Curtis has been re-releasing her Love in Harmony Valley series books with new covers. By the way, they all look so cute.
Here’s the series’ summary that I got from GoodReads: “Welcome to Love in Harmony Valley! AKA Harmony Valley
This small town at the northernmost edge of Sonoma County wine country is in trouble. It’s so remote the sagging California economy of the past few years has driven businesses out, and without jobs, everyone under the age of 65 has left town. The 70 or so residents remaining are set in their ways.
Join Harmony Valley residents as youth returns to help save their town.”
Twelve of these books have already been released, and three more are yet to be released. All of these books are also on Kindle Unlimited.
