Heather Bay: Books 1-3
(2026)(A book in the Heather Bay series)
An omnibus of novels by Charlie Novak
Enjoy the first three novels of the Heather Bay series in a collected edition, and journey to the coast of North Yorkshire as a group of friends find love in these low angst stories full of heat, heart, and happily ever afters.
This box set features the original novels, Like I Promised, Like I Wished, and Like I Needed, plus three bonus shorts.
Like I Promised — Oliver wasn't ever planning on returning to Heather Bay, but when he inherits a cottage in need of renovation he doesn't have much choice. Finding out his childhood best friend and ex-boyfriend, Lane, is in charge of the work also wasn't part of the plan. The two of them have spent years trying, and failing, to move on, and falling into bed for the summer probably isn't wise. But maybe this time they can rewrite the past and keep their promises.
Like I Wished — Facing the prospect of another year in last place in the school bake off, chemistry teacher Noah turns to his best friend's older brother and long-term crush, Spencer, for help. The former footballer turned baker is gorgeous, funny, and totally straight, so the chances of anything happening are slim to none. But watching Noah lick buttercream off a whisk starts to make Spencer realise that maybe he's not as straight as he previously thought... and all his wishes involve having Noah in his life.
Like I Needed — When London party boy Jamie makes an impromptu decision to get away from his life, he finds himself in Heather Bay and the company of gorgeous, stressed out shepherd, Will. Will doesn't have time for anything but work as he tries to keep his family's sheep farm afloat, and Jamie is nothing but a distraction. But as lambing season throws them together, they start to realise the other might be exactly what they need.
