The Sweet Side of Chaos
(2026)(The fourth book in the Cottonwood Springs series)
A Story by Honey Winters
Mack has been planning this for weeks. A luxury resort in New Mexico. A private dinner under the stars. A ring in his pocket and the woman he loves beside him. Everything is in place for the perfect proposal.
Then his brother calls.
When a family health crisis means Mack and Amy must take in his two nephews for spring break, the carefully laid plans unravel overnight. Instead of couples massages and dark sky parks, their week fills with ice-fishing lessons, a goldfish named Captain Nemo, a ten-year-old food critic, and a teenager whose walls are as high as the Rockies.
As one improvised plan after another goes sideways, Mack discovers that the chaos of this unexpected week is revealing something he never anticipated — that sometimes, the simplest, most ordinary moments are better than grand gestures.
But at the end of the week, Mack still has the ring. And the perfect moment he's been waiting for? It might have been there all along.
