Amity Creek Romance Books in Order

Amity Creek Romance is a small-town contemporary romance series set in Amity Creek, Washington. The town has the familiar comforts readers expect from the setting, neighbors who notice everything, local traditions, family ties, and plenty of opinions, but it is not presented as a place where problems disappear because the view is pretty. Old hurts and family expectations have a way of following people home.

The first full-length story, Drive You Crazy, centers on Ashley Anderson, a newspaper editor trying to make a fresh start after moving to Amity Creek. Her plan runs into trouble when changes at the local paper anger major advertisers. Her next-door neighbor, Justin Hastings, has the hometown connections that might help, but Ashley has already decided he is a brooding nuisance. Justin, meanwhile, wants to leave Amity Creek behind once his teaching contract ends, especially because his own family relationships are full of strain.

Then a car mishap leaves them sharing one truck.

The forced carpool puts Ashley and Justin in each other’s routines, and the series gets much of its energy from their bickering, growing friendship, and the gap between their first impressions and who they really are. Ashley is talkative, determined, and trying to find a place to belong. Justin is more guarded, with family history that has taught him to keep his distance. Their romance unfolds alongside questions about grief, rejection, loyalty, and what it means to choose a home rather than simply land in one.

The setting matters because Amity Creek is closely tied to the Hastings family. Justin cannot move through town without running into reminders of the relatives and pressures he hopes to escape, while Ashley must decide whether the community she wanted to serve will ever make room for her. That tension keeps the story from being only a lighthearted neighbor romance, even when the banter is playful.

The Frenemy Kiss is a very short companion story focused on Harry Latu and Maisie Hastings. They have known each other for years, first as high-school rivals and later as fellow teachers. After a memorable kiss and months of awkward flirting, they are cast as bride and groom in the town play. Being forced to act romantic in public makes it harder to ignore what is happening between them.

Across the series, expect clean, faith-aware romance, rivals who become reluctant allies, family complications, and a town that can feel supportive one minute and nosy the next. Start with Drive You Crazy for the clearest introduction to Amity Creek, then read The Frenemy Kiss for a quick return visit with another pair of sparring locals.
