  2. “They both cracked up. Ryan loved his sister, and he hated thinking that she was lonely back in Ross Harbour. She deserved to be loved by someone wonderful.”

    How you know the author has just introduced a secondary character crossing over from a different romance novel that they’ve written — they specifically mention the quaint name of the quaint, Hallmarky town that they live in, that you will never see in the current book.
