Eternity Springs Books in Order

Where to Begin Your Journey in Eternity Springs

For readers looking to dive into the emotional, healing world of Eternity Springs, the best starting point is Angel’s Rest, the first book in the series. While each novel tells a complete story with a satisfying romantic resolution, the residents of the town grow, marry, and support each other across the entire timeline. Starting at the beginning lets you fully appreciate the community's evolution and the recurring appearances of previous main characters as they help new newcomers heal.

Subseries & Spin-Offs

The Eternity Springs universe expands beyond Colorado with specific subseries and audio-first collections that focus on different branches of the town's extended family:

Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas

This spin-off trilogy shifts the setting from the Colorado Rockies to the small town of Redemption, Texas. It follows three McBride cousins who inherit land together and must rebuild their lives:

• Jackson (2019) – Former country musician Jackson McBride navigates a tough divorce and custody battle, finding solace and a second chance with a local widow.
• Tucker (2020) – Retired Army Ranger Tucker McBride opens a survival school and falls for Gillian Thacker, a local bridal shop owner.
• Boone (2020) – Boone McBride struggles with personal secrets but finds a transformative connection with Hannah Dupree.

Celebrate Eternity Springs Novellas

Originally released as audio-first stories before being published in ebook and print, these shorter holiday-themed novellas explore smaller corners of the town's community:

• Better Than a Box of Chocolates (2022) – Ali Lovejoy, a wedding photographer who dislikes Valentine's Day, finds an unexpected connection during a winter trip to Eternity Springs.
• The Christmas Pawdcast (2022) – Mary Landry and her pregnant rescue dog get stranded during a blizzard, finding shelter in a cabin with Nick Carstairs, a true-crime podcaster who prefers solitude.
• The Summer Melt (2023) – Dana Delaney, the owner of the local ice cream shop Scoops, finds unexpected summer help and romance with visiting sports agent Cal Buchanan.

The Prequel Connection: The Callahan Brothers

Longtime fans of Emily March may recognize the name Callahan. Before writing as Emily March, the author published under her pseudonym Geralyn Dawson. Under that name, she wrote the Callahan Brothers series (set in Brazos Bend, Texas), featuring Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John Gabriel Callahan. In 2014, these books were reissued under her Emily March name. John Gabriel "Gabe" Callahan is the very same Gabriel who stars in Angel's Rest, connecting the Brazos Bend universe directly as a precursor to the Eternity Springs series. The holiday novella A Callahan Carol acts as the structural bridge between the two series.

Practical Reader Advice

If you are looking to explore the series, keep these practical points in mind:

• Standalone vs. Series Continuity: You can read any Eternity Springs book on its own and enjoy a complete romance. However, reading them out of order means you will see couples from previous books happily married, which may spoil the progression of earlier stories.
• Holiday Reading: The series features several excellent Christmas-themed books (such as Mistletoe Mine, Christmas in Eternity Springs, and The Christmas Wishing Tree). These can be read seasonally, but they contain important updates on the town's residents.
• Texas Transitions: The McBrides of Texas trilogy can be read independently of the main Colorado series, though reading it after The Christmas Wishing Tree is ideal, as it was published immediately following the main series' conclusion.
