At its heart, EVERY story is about love.
En route in 2025
First, I never should’ve planned a novel so close on the heels of three novellas. Second, my day job (as an editor via my company Plumfield Editing) is booming, so I have not had the time to devote to Hollie and Ryan and I refuse to crap out a subpar story. Also, my family is starting a new business. Have I mentioned I’m a glutton for punishment?
If you preordered OROR through a major platform, you should’ve been refunded. If you ordered direct, your order is still valid. Join the Eliza newsletter for updates—I’ll deliver this final Hollie Porter installment in 2025, but I can’t rush it. Thanks for the love!
Hollie Porter is back. And this time, she’s brought friends.
With Hollie and Ryan settled into their new love nest (complete with the perfect bathtub!), they’re ready to tackle life’s next big adventure. Or at least that’s what Hollie whispers to herself to keep from hopping the first float plane back to Revelation Cove. While Hollie’s knack for boosting the resort’s bookings has been boss for business, it’s the lovebirds’ desire to spend more time together during the hockey season that leads her to a part-time gig in the marketing department at the major junior club where Ryan is head coach. Ice, ice, baby!
But within days of the ink drying on her employment contract, Hollie is asked to take the reins of a brand-new initiative—the Langley Cougars, a community-supported youth hockey team—after the original coach is benched with a nasty case of shingles. Here’s the catch: Hollie may be married to a hunky hockey hero, but she knows nothing about coaching. Or skating, for that matter.
Hilariously unprepared, Hollie does her best to rise to the occasion, battling her own doubts (and comedic mishaps) on the ice, with support from Ryan and friends. Amid the chaos, a routine medical check-up brings disheartening news about Hollie’s fertility, shattering her belief that starting their “raft” would be as simple as a spicy, bubbly fueled night in their fancy magic tub.
Enter Britton, a young boy who loves hockey almost as much as he loves his dying mom. His arrival adds a welcome dynamic to the Cougars, and Hollie finds herself in an unexpected, though not unwelcome, role for Britt. As she and Ryan grow closer to the kid with the mean slap shot, they consider if their path to parenthood might unfold in a different way than they’d anticipated.
Add to the mix Nurse Bob’s wildly successful (and saucy) new endeavor, a surprise engagement in the family, and unforeseen upheaval at the Cove, and Hollie and Ryan aren’t sure whose tail they’re chasing as they wrangle these freshly caught challenges.
Through it all, however, they cling to the promise that keeps their love afloat: Our raft, our rules.

Hollie Porter, marketing director and First Lady of sea otters, is thrilled when prestigious Vancouver eco-first company Clarke Innovations chooses Revelation Cove to host their annual Green It Up Eco-Summit over Earth Day weekend. With his major-junior hockey team’s playoff run cut short, Ryan is back at the Cove where together, he and Hollie are excited to show local business owners that going green can be both fun and profitable. But you know what they say about best-laid plans.
From the introduction of NORA, the Nature-Oriented Robotic Assistant, and her precocious programmer to a food composter more interested in creating noxious odors than nutrient-rich soil, Hollie must think on her feet to keep her guests and VIP presenters from deserting on their battery-powered watercraft before the show ends. And somewhere among the throng, an anonymous guest with a penchant for social media mischief stirs up trouble online, threatening to undermine the summit’s success.
Because every day is Valentine’s Day when you’re in luuuuuurve . . .
Love is in the air at Revelation Cove! But Hollie Porter’s romantic Valentine’s Day plans with her hot hockey hubby hit the ice when Ryan injures his arm during practice and needs some XL TLC.
Nurse Hollie springs into action, eager to play doctor with her man. But between Ryan’s recovery, running the resort, and guests causing chaos from a few too many Cupid’s Cure cocktails, Hollie’s patience is tested. Things go from bad to super awkward when Hollie literally discovers her dad has a little somethin’-somethin’ going on in his boudoir too.
Despite the mayhem, Ryan won’t let the holiday pass without romancing his beloved. He sends Hollie on a treasure hunt around the resort, offering clever clues that lead to heartfelt gifts. But when the final present opens a new door to their future, Hollie has to decide if she’s ready to step out of this comfort zone into a grander adventure.
Spend your Valentine’s Day with Hollie and Ryan and the gang up at Revelation Cove. Just be sure to pack Band-Aids and aspirin—that Cupid is a sneaky fella.
