Rainbow Cove books in chronological order
Series background & context
Rainbow Cove is a small-town Oregon romance series about people who return home, take risks on new beginnings, and find their place in a community that can be both comforting and nosy. The town's businesses, beaches, and familiar faces keep the books connected.
The couples often begin with a mismatch. An older cop and a man rebuilding his reputation, a grieving woodcarver and a younger chef, or friends pushed into seeing one another differently all have to confront assumptions about what love should look like.
Home can be complicated.
Trust with a Chaser introduces Mason Hanks, who comes back to Rainbow Cove hoping to open an inclusive bar, and Nash Flint, the local police officer he once admired. Later books continue to explore the town through new pairs and returning friends.
These are stand-alone romances, but the series is best read in order for the cameos and the sense of watching Rainbow Cove become a fuller, more welcoming place. The tone is sexy and tender, with room for humor and emotional recovery.
Expect found family, age gaps, second chances, food, local color, and a town worth revisiting.
