Let Love Live by Melissa Collins is now available!  

Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a STANDALONE.

Who would you become if you lost the only person who ever mattered?

For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago. 

Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona – tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough – a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin. 

Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to resurrect Dylan’s long ago buried heart and let love live once more.

That’s exactly what happened to Madeleine Becker when her parents

died when she was ten years old. Ripped from her home and everything

that she has ever loved, she is forced to start all over again. The

only way for her to move on is to build walls around her heart and keep

everyone at a safe distance. Her logic: she can’t get hurt if she

doesn’t fall in love.

That theory is blown to pieces when she meets Reid Connely during

her freshman year at college. He is gorgeous and darkly mysterious. He

understands Maddy’s pain all too well, but sharing his pain would mean

breaking down the walls he put up around his own heart. Conflicted

between loving Maddy and hiding his dark past, Reid starts to reevaluate

his world. Maddy’s inner strength, snarky personality and breath

taking beauty help Reid to make peace with his past.

Together they find out what happens when they Let Love In.

Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth

shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love. Then life happened. Old

wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped

opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are

not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light.

Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need

to heal on their own before they can ever be together again. They must

face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way

through this crazy uphill battle called love.

They’ve let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay.

Melanie Crane has always been the perfect daughter, friend, student –

she’s been perfect at everything, in fact. But when she lets her

insecurities, the ones that she keeps hidden from everyone, get the best

of her, she falters in her pursuit of perfection. Melanie crumples

under the pressure and buries her pain. Numbed by sadness and guilt,

she is determined never to let anyone find out how broken she really is.

Bryan Mahoney may appear to have everything in order. He’s

charming, witty and completely swoon-worthy. In short, Bryan has life

all figured out, but appearances can be deceiving. When the landscape

of Bryan’s family changes in an instant, he’s left to pick up the

pieces.

Not all bruises leave a mark. Now, weary and afraid, Melanie and

Bryan must find a way to let love heal their broken and jaded hearts.

Being new parents, starting new jobs, and continuing college is

enough to overwhelm any couple. New challenges come up daily, as do

small victories. Watch Maddy and Reid grow stronger together in this

“one year later” tale of the everyday stuff that happens in real life.

With a solid foundation of love under their inexperienced feet – and

with the help of their family and friends – Maddy and Reid learn how to

let love shine, lighting the way for a beautiful future to come.

What would bring you happiness in a world that was suddenly empty?

For Lucy Crane, the answer is simple: her daughter. When her husband

is killed in a tragic accident, Lucy loses her desire to live, but only

one thing keeps her going – her unborn daughter. Focusing on being a

mother helps Lucy cope with her loss, but kids grow up and they leave

home, eventually. Eighteen years after losing her first and only love,

Lucy is faced with the opportunity to find the happiness for which she’s

always longed. Her own fears become her worst enemies as she learns how

to embrace love once again.

Evan Donovan is also facing his own struggles. Forced to retire from

the FDNY because of lung damage caused by 9/11, Evan moves to upstate

New York where he hopes to find a little peace and quiet. Old habits die

hard, and Evan’s hero complex and survivor’s guilt constantly remind

him of how difficult it is to be vulnerable. But for the first time in

his life, he’s tired of being alone.

Drawing strength from one another, Lucy and Evan discover how beautiful it is to let love be a part of their lives.
