Hazel's Cousins

Thrown together before their parents' wedding, Buck Foster and Hazel Winthrop's white hot attraction ignites. Each has a string of failed relationships and neither wants to get serious, or do they?

How could she not fall for the man who saved her life?

Hazel Winthrop, the youngest of Helen's four daughters and the only one unmarried and still looking for what her sisters have — loving partners and children — comes to Saguaro Valley for a change of scene and decides to stay awhile, working for Robbie Morgan's adventure tours company, a job she did for many years back east.

Buck Foster, a successful California artist — painting and stained glass — comes to the Valley often to stay with his dad, Spark.

When they both sign up as guides on a hiking and canoeing tour, Hazel nearly drowns, saved, and brought back to life by Buck. Their attraction already simmering under the surface explodes in the aftermath of the near drowning, then Buck hightails it back to Laguna Beach and leaves Hazel hurt and confused.

Suddenly they're stuck together planning and working on their parents' wedding. Will this time be love, or another disaster?

Come back to the Valley for #16, Morgan's Run and share this couple's wild, tumultuous second chance at love.
