Misty Lake
When new Misty Lake resident, Samantha, finds herself the target of a cruel vandal, Sheriff Jake McCabe races to keep her safe and at the same time break down the wall she’s built around herself.
The Inn at Misty Lake
Susan, ready to start over in Misty Lake, is pinning her future on turning a run-down farmhouse into a lakeside inn with the help of contractor, Riley McCabe. When Riley’s past becomes his present, Susan finds herself in the fight of her life.
Misty Lake in Focus
It’s been seven years since Cassie and Frank McCabe’s whirlwind romance was shattered. When the two are reunited, Frank is determined he won’t lose Cassie again, but Frank isn’t the only one who wants Cassie.
Anchored in Misty Lake
Shauna McCabe has dreams of forging her own path, out of the shadow of four older brothers, until Cort Mackenzie derails those dreams. Amidst heartbreak and secrets, Shauna and Cort navigate a bumpy road that takes them from Misty Lake to New York City and to a decision that will determine their fates.
Sunset Over Misty Lake
Joe McCabe and Karen have the perfect life until a few words in a text sends that world crashing down around them. Joe doesn’t know where to look in order to help his wife, but it turns out, he doesn’t have to look far. You’ve seen the McCabes rally around one another before, but you’ve never seen them like this!
What readers are saying about the Misty Lake series:
“I've read all of these books and loved and laughed and teared up in all of them.
Well written. Great charaters…Just great books.” – Kindle Customer
“As an avid reader, it’s always a pleasure to watch up-and-coming indie authors at home in their element. Margaret Standafer is quickly establishing herself in the “clean” romance genre with her captivating “Misty Lake” series. Misty Lake in Focus is book three in the series, and it offers more of the spellbinding romance her readers have come to love.” – J.W. George, from Misty Lake in Focus
“This is the best series I have read... I felt like I was almost living each book with the characters.” – Donna
“This is a well written love story, filled with enough detail that I could imagine myself in New York City, at the edge of Misty Lake, and everywhere in between. Standafer brings about a sensory experience in which it seemed as if I was watching a movie in front of my eyes.” – Bruce, from Anchored in Misty Lake
“I am in love with Misty Lake! I was intrigued from page one. This beautifully written novel has a tinge of mystery along with a heart warming romance. It’s a page turner that you won’t be able to put down!” - Brooke
“I love this series! The characters are believable and you feel like you’re right there with them. Lots of subtle humor and great interaction amongst a large extended family.” – JMS

About the author
Margaret Standafer
11 books145 followersI have been in love with reading since I was old enough to pick up a book. From helping Frodo save Middle Earth to screaming at Scarlett O’Hara to hurry up and realize Rhett Butler was the only man for her, books have taken me on countless adventures.
It took me much longer to realize I also love writing. For years I ignored my husband’s subtle and not-so-subtle hints that I should give writing a try. He was convinced I could do it. I wasn’t. When I finally sat down and started to put some of the stories in my head down on paper, I discovered not only could I do it, I discovered a whole new world of possibilities and adventures…a world where I could control the outcome. I’ve never been happier!
It is my sincere hope that you enjoy my writing. I’d love to hear from you whether it’s about something I’ve written or about something someone else has written and that you’ve read and loved. That’s the great thing about Goodreads…I can be a reader and a writer!

Great read
I lived reading this series. I lived how she merged all of the characters into each book until the final book where everyone was involved. I feel like I personally know the family. Thanks for the good read.

Loved the series, good characters and dialogue between them. You feel like your amongst them expericing what’s happening. I miss that we missed the weddings but it’s not a big deal. Hopefully, someday we can revisit and see how things are going! Seems like Cort and Shauna might have something more.

WONDERFUL
I wish this series would just continue. I’ve loved all the important characters. Missed a lot of sleep, but it was worth it. Best series I’ve read in a long time.

Enjoyable read
I read all five books and enjoyed all of them. Some suspense, some humor and some romance without all the sex or cussing. So refreshing.
