Chasing Dreams

New York Times bestseller Carolyn Brown pens three contemporary love stories of fun, adventure, matchmaking, and romance.

Chasing Dreams

Nita, Sharlene, and Billy Joe, all about to turn 80, enlist Billy Joe's great—grandson, Ford, who has just gotten out of the Air Force, and Sharlene's great niece, Joelle, a schoolteacher who has the summer free. Their mission—to drive the three bickering old people on a road trip to remember. Each of the octogenarians is determined to tick off at least a few bucket list items before they go. Somewhere along the journey, Ford and Joelle discover that their elderly companions aren't the only ones who need to take some risks in life...and in love.

The Matchmakers

Dotty, Minnie and Sookie have been best friends for decades, so when they all retired they decided that living on a cruise ship was cheaper and a lot more fun than living in an assisted living facility. But after a cruise or two, they got bored and decided to become matchmakers. Not knowing that they were choosing a couple that was already bound for divorce, they had their work cut out for them. Could they get this poor couple who evidently were still very much in love back together?

A Summer to Remember (Sisters in Paradise series prequel novella)

Before she moves to the Paradise in Spanish Fort, Texas, Great Aunt Bernie runs a bar where she listens to all kinds of people's problems. One day, Nash, Hershel, and Clara walk into her bar and change the trajectory of Bernie's life forever. After seeing the sparks between Clara and Nash, Bernie decides to try her hand at matchmaking. If she's good at it—and it turns out that she is—she intends to retire and get to work marrying off her seven great—nieces.
