Arabella “Remy” Remington
I’m a surgeon. I like things tidy—rules, routines, predictability, perfection. And I guard my heart as fiercely as the women and children I’m dedicated to helping.
Until he enters the picture.
Sebastian Wheatley is a walking red flag. A charming, sexy as sin, Hollywood-mega-star red flag. He’s smooth and unpredictable—something decidedly unsafe in the world I’ve intentionally created for myself. But one look at him has my blood heating, and I’m not sure if it’s from annoyance…or desire.
The charming devil slides into my life, looking to make a deal. A temporary marriage of convenience to help him land the role of a lifetime. In exchange, I get the funds necessary to secure the stability of a cause deeply important to me.
My common sense says “run.” But despite the risk to my carefully tidy life and the fortress it provides for my painful secrets and battered heart, something about him has me accepting the proposal. And hoping I haven’t just derailed everything I’ve ever worked for.
Late Harvest brings heart, heat, and humor in book one of the Red
Wine Supper Club, a later-in-life romance series.

Backup Plan by Lisa Suzanne
BACKUP PLAN is an emotional and spicy sports standalone romance with a single mom, a secret relationship, and a pro football player who falls first from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Author Lisa Suzanne.
Moving into my best friend’s brother’s penthouse was never part of my plan. Neither was falling for him. But when a few drinks with pro football quarterback Liam Bradley leave me tangled in his sheets, my plans have been derailed.
When Liam offers me a room in his penthouse so I can move out of my soon-to-be ex’s house, it seems like the perfect backup plan while I navigate an ugly divorce and try to keep my life together for my two young boys.
Somewhere between video game tournaments with my boys and late-night conversations over cereal, what was supposed to be a one-time thing is turning into more. But Liam is the last man I should want and the worst possible distraction…which is why we’re sneaking around in secret.
While Liam fights for the chance to finally become more than a backup quarterback, I'm fighting to protect my boys from a man determined to use every mistake against me.

There are three things I will never do (again) in my life:
1. Agree to be filmed doing something stupid
2. Let someone else decide if I’m worthy
3. Fall in love
Four years ago, I went viral in a moment that earned me the nickname The Wedding Wrecker. I’ve been in hiding at a closed winery with a small group of other accidentally viral women ever since.
But the winery is in financial trouble, and we’re taking every opportunity we get to try to save it.
Including agreeing to be the focus of a documentary about re-opening.
Unfortunately, the documentarian is my ex’s best friend.
My ex’s best friend who always hated me with the passion of a million angry internet users.
But if it’ll save our home, then fine. I’ll tolerate Declan Fox again.
Except the Declan I last knew four years ago is different.
Kinder.
Less arrogant.
More charming.
Unexpectedly attractive.
And finally free to tell me that he’s always loved me.
Thanks, life. I really needed this plot twist.
While You Were Trending is a funny, feel-good romance featuring a retired hockey star who’s always come in second, the world’s most infamous former child reality star, and an unbreakable sisterhood. It’s perfect for readers who love second chances and need a reminder that we can always be the person we want to be.

The Comeback Plan by S. Jones
Blurb:
She thinks he’s arrogant. He thinks she’s judgmental.
Neither one of them can stay away from each other.
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
I’ve made it my job to ask tough questions, while he’s built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I can’t exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? It’s only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isn’t as simple as I thought.
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, I’m breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And that’s a problem, because I’m falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If I’m not careful, the story I’ve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.

I've Got A Crush On You by Lauren Blakely
My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough…at a birthday party.
But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.
A night so steamy I almost forget why I've sworn off men after a failed office romance.
But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client.
Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with… is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.
Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.
But when I need a dance partner for the town fundraiser that my client’s roped me into, I sense an opportunity. And, it turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.
Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.
Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable--I’ve got a crush on him too.

Pretending to be fake engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea.
But it is definitely necessary.
On the brink
of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first
time I have to see my ex since our break-up.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.
Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.
The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously.
He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.
And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.
The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.
Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship.
Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…
And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

As a single mom, I’ve had my fair share of dates with guys who are all wrong for me. But there’s no one more wrong for me than Sam Shaw. My dad’s best friend.
I love my life, but some days, I wish I had a partner. One to share all of life’s ups and downs. But after too many losers on dating apps, I should give up.
Until Sam swoops in and rescues me.
I know I shouldn’t be attracted to him, but I can’t help it.
And when he looks at me the way he does, I know he returns the feelings.
Until it all comes to a head. One time and we can’t get enough of each other. Being with him is dangerous. No one can know.
Being with my dad’s best friend is too complicated. I should break things off. Find someone easier.
But when he treats me—and my son—like we’re treasured?

I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life.
Showing up on Tucker Bradshaw’s doorstep claiming we share a daughter is not one of them.
The youngest Bradshaw brother’s reputation is well known in Willow Bend and I plan to use it against him.
I thought he’d simply throw money at the problem, hoping to make us go away.
But Tucker doesn’t see my daughter and me as a problem.
He sees us as a solution.
So, instead of getting to take the money and run, I find myself being moved into his mansion. Driving one of his cars. Spending time with his family.
But I draw the line at sleeping in his bed. That’s never going to happen.
Except Tucker isn’t at all the man I expected him to be. He’s funny and kind. Selfless and humble.
When he reads my daughter bedtime stories, my resolve forms a crack.
When he builds her a princess bed, complete with a tower, that crack widens.
And when he pulls me close one night, telling me what a good mother I am, it crumbles completely.
And that’s a problem.
Because while Tucker’s presence is keeping my daughter and me safe, mine is putting him in danger.

Chicago Colts flashy shortstop.
The kind of man built for a good time and allergic to forever.

Turns out pretending to be a family is the fastest way to break every rule we set.
Because he watches me like it was never just a deal.
Because he trusts me with the person who matters most.
Because the more we pretend, the less fake it feels.
And now the man who was never supposed to stay is the one I can't lose.

Billionaire Falls First by Julie Capulet
It was impossible not to notice him, even though I tried. Or at least I tried to try. What I didn’t expect him to do was to turn my whole world upside down.
Amelie Thibodeaux almost inherited her family’s historic Bourbon Street hotel, which is the only home she’s ever known. Instead, it turns out her beloved late father secretly gambled away three generations of hard work. Which means Amelie is now destitute. And desperate. She’s forced to live by her wits, barely scraping by with three jobs and sheer grit.
When Dallas Wilder walks into the bar of the Hotel Thibodeaux, he’s enigmatic. Mysterious. And wildly magnetic.
But as drop-dead gorgeous as Dallas might be, Amelie doesn’t trust him. Because trusting people has never panned out for her. And she needs to survive. Her reality consists of work and struggle. Which makes resisting him easy.
Or does it?
As the billionaire owner of one of New York’s most lucrative investment funds and a major movie studio, Dallas Wilder is ruthless, direct and very good at getting whatever he wants.
What he wants is Amelie.
Behind Dallas’s brutal appeal lies a singular obsession. Her. From the sultry streets of New Orleans to the glittering penthouses of New York City, Amelie is swept off her feet by the most intoxicating man she’s ever met.
But obsession has a dark side. Will his savage addiction for her destroy them both?

The good news? I’ve been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who’ve suffered their own five minutes of shame.
The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman.
A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman.
Whom I met when I punched him in the face.
Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he’s happy keeping his distance from me.
But when we find out the winery that’s saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners.
No big deal, working with a guy that I’m falling harder for each day.
I’m already the internet’s favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life?
But what if it’s not unrequited after all?

Losing everything was supposed to be the end. It might be the beginning.
I built my life on moving on—new places, new projects, new causes. Make an impact, then keep going. It worked… until a scandal I never saw coming destroyed my reputation—and a house fire took everything else.
Now I’m stranded in a small mountain town with nothing but borrowed clothes and a growing list of problems.
And a firefighter next door who refuses to let me fall apart quietly.
Colter Gibson is everything I’m not—steady, grounded, rooted. A single dad with a protective streak a mile wide and a habit of showing up when it matters most.
Letting him help is supposed to be temporary.
So is staying in Gibson Hollow.
So is the undeniable spark igniting between us.
But the longer I’m here, the more I find something I’ve never had before—a chance to see the impact of my work up close… and a place that feels like home.
Then the life I lost comes calling—with a chance to take it all back.
And I have to decide…
Do I go back to who I was—
or risk my heart on the one man—and the one town—that make me want to stay?
Perfect for readers who love:
✔ small-town romance
✔ single dad heroes
✔ forced proximity

In a town that takes care of its own, sometimes you have to learn how to let yourself be one of them.

She burst into my bar in a torn wedding dress, barefoot and bleeding, running from my rival.
I offered her a marriage of convenience–my name to hide behind until the danger passed.
But now, she’s in my house.
In my head.
And in my bed.
Turns out—I don’t make promises I can’t keep.
I vowed to love, honour, and protect Aoife O'Shea, and not even the devil himself will stop me.
I’ve built my empire on blood, loyalty, and silence.
But for her?

And I have absolutely no intention of letting her go…

Marrying Dominic Kincaid was supposed to be a ruse.
A name.
A way out of the fire consuming my life.

He's dark, ruthless, and everything I should hate.
But no matter how hard I fight it, there’s no denying the attraction between us—

I've spent my entire life engaged to one man. But it's his brother I've always yearned for.
Now, four days before our wedding, Xavier has thrown me over—and Benedict has stepped in instead. The spare. The playboy. The heartbreaker whose reputation stretches across the Mediterranean.
Benedict de Vere is everything his brother isn't: reckless, restless, and seemingly unbothered that this match is a transaction. He's marrying me to save my reputation. My reasons for wedding him are... more complicated.
I'm going to be his duchess.
I'm going to share his life.
His bed.
I should be up to the challenge. After all, they call me the ice queen for a reason. I've had years to perfect my mask.
But I've longed for him since I was eighteen years old. And Benedict doesn't do serious. He doesn't do forever. The trail of broken hearts he's left behind is evidence of that.
Being one of those broken hearts would be devastating enough. Knowing him that intimately, then being cast aside?
Now imagine that happening in our marital bed.
It's a loneliness I wouldn't survive.

👑 Modern duke and duchess

Now I have to choose between the career I’ve worked for my entire life and the love that slammed into me straight out of left field.

Rule #1 on the Everly Fletcher Matchmaking Manifesto…Never fall for your best friend’s grumpy brother.
Everly is the matchmaking mastermind of her family, but her own love life is a bit of a flop.
Back from four years in Dublin, she’s ready for a quiet summer on Fletcher Mountain helping launch her aunt’s animal rescue center—until Conri “Wolf” Reilly shows up.
Wolf is her college roommate’s infuriating twin brother. He’s brooding, Irish, and college rugby’s resident bad boy with thighs that could crack a watermelon.
His red card reputation has trashed his rugby prospects…until a training camp in Denver comes calling. As a favor, Everly reluctantly gets Wolf a place to stay if he volunteers at the rescue center.
Now Everly finds herself working and living next door to the Irish tattooed grump who treats her like a nuisance—but looks at her like he could press her up against a hay bale until they forget their own names.
Wolf swore he came to America to fix his image, not fall for his sister’s best friend, but the more time he spends with Everly, the harder it is to keep his distance.
Perhaps Everly’s in her bad boy era…or maybe Fletcher Mountain has its own matchmaking plans.

Blurb:
Steel Magnolias meets Schitt’s Creek with the heart of This is Us.
At fifty, Hope Hall has done everything right. She earned a PhD, built a career, and held her marriage together with determination and stubborn denial.
When her life publicly unravels, Hope returns to her hometown in Texas, and the loud, loving, opinionated family who never quite understood her. Surrounded by her four sisters, who make everything bigger, messier, and usually a public spectacle, she expects the chaos, the old grudges, and small-town rivalries that always seem to involve toilet paper and bail money.
What she doesn’t expect is June—her wild, fearless sister, who has spent a decade giving cancer the middle finger. But you can only run from the devil for so long, and what’s coming for June may be the thing Hope’s family can’t survive.
Told with sharp humor, messy love, and the kind of honesty that sneaks up and wrecks you, The Summer That Changed Us is a deeply moving, laugh-through-the-tears story about sisters, second chances, and what it really means to show up when it matters most.
*This book contains themes of terminal illness, grief, and the death of a sibling.

With their rugged good looks and Southern charm, it’s obvious why Cash Barlow and Sawyer Knight are America’s favorite baseball players. As the sports reporter sent to document their rise to fame, I was hoping our intimate interviews would catapult my career. Instead, I found myself being seduced…by both of them.
It’s not like they’re easy to resist. I’m spending every moment of the day with two hunky baseball gods polite enough to say “yes ma’am” and filthy enough to make me blush. And the more I study them – the more I notice the furtive glances and lingering touches – the more I realize that Cash and Sawyer aren’t only best friends. But when I promise to keep their secret, they reveal another of their own.
They don’t just want each other. And when these star baseball players want something, they get it. And now they want me.
But each time the three of us give into temptation, we’re breaking rules that threaten all of our careers. Should we risk it all for our unconventional love? Or will this baseball season end with three broken hearts?

Heaven’s most angelic good girl is about to fall for the ultimate fallen angel.
Mary London Winthrop has spent her entire life being Heaven’s golden child—perfectly polished, the grace of a Southern belle, and positively bored out of her halo. She’s ready to trade her wings for something a little…devilish.
Enter Rhett Price: single dad from the other side of the tracks, cowboy hat on a motorcycle, and the kind of trouble Mary London’s daddy always warned her about. He’s everything a Winthrop shouldn’t want—especially since Winthrops and Prices have been sworn enemies since Heaven was founded. Think Montagues and Capulets, but with more church potlucks and passive-aggressive town council meetings.
Hiring Rhett as her contractor for her new project? Risky. Falling for him? Absolutely forbidden. Dating him in secret while the whole town watches her every move? Pure romantic chaos.

Pinch Hitter by Stephanie Rose
Blurb:
Lee Orrico is stuck. The family he depended on to care for his daughter since he lost his wife is moving on and moving out. Having his best friend Stella become his live-in nanny while he works as the team chiropractor for the Brooklyn Bats seems like the right idea. Until the combination of close quarters and cozy nights ignites an attraction that Lee never saw coming.
After years on the road in a job she never liked and a messy breakup, Stella Parker is ready to come back to Brooklyn to make it a real home for herself, not just a pit stop. Moving in with Lee to help care for his adorable daughter is the perfect temporary solution…except it means moving in with the man she’s always been secretly in love with.
Her once-forbidden love for her best friend was always just a one-sided fantasy, but the lingering touches, long looks, and almost kisses make her start to wonder if this love isn’t so unrequited anymore.
The passion between Lee and Stella is undeniable. But Lee isn’t sure he can love again – he barely survived the loss of it the first time.
Still, the heart he didn’t think would beat for anyone else… wants Stella.
And Stella has always wanted Lee. The question is, does Lee really love her back?
Or is she just a pinch hitter for the real love of his life?

Maple & Moonlight by Daphne Elliot
Blurb:
As a single mom rebuilding my life from scratch, I don’t need help. And I definitely don’t need the attention of a six-foot-three maple farmer with a beard and a hero complex who looks at me like I’m a problem he didn’t sign up for.
My landlord is broad-shouldered, permanently unimpressed, and entirely too comfortable telling me when I’m wrong. I think he’s grumpy, rigid, and overprotective. He thinks I’m chaos in Crocs.
Falling for Josh Lawrence was never part of the plan.
But then he starts showing up.
For my son when he’s overwhelmed.
For my daughters when they need someone steady.
And for me when my hands won’t stop shaking.
I didn’t come to Vermont looking for a protector. I don’t need rescuing. But somewhere between harvest festivals, pumpkin canoe races, and quiet mornings in the sugar shack, the man I swore was just an annoyance becomes my safe place.
And when my dangerous past resurfaces and threatens the new life I’ve built, the grumpy maple farmer next door becomes my fiercest protector, ready to stand by my side while I fight for my family.
Because it turns out maple farmers are a lot like their trees: quiet, stubborn, and surprisingly sweet when the pressure builds.

In the Friend Zone (Mile High Stallions #2)

Emily
Sinclair lives by the Rule of Three: work hard, stay organized, and never,
under any circumstances, look at Finn Taylor as anything other than her
brother’s best friend.
Finn
has always been her safe harbor. The late-night phone call. The permanent
plus-one. The only person who knows she’d rather temper chocolate than draft a
legal brief. He is also the pro football star whose career just slammed into a
brick wall of a humiliating season-ending injury.
When
Finn’s confidence hits rock bottom, Emily does what she does best. She makes a
plan. She will help him through rehab, and in return, he will help her
transform a dusty storefront into the chocolate shop of her dreams.
Simple.
Except
somewhere between physical therapy sessions and renovation dust, the lines they
spent a decade drawing start to blur. Finn is not just offering tool-belt
advice anymore. He is looking at her with a hunger that has nothing to do with
truffles.
Breaking
her overprotective brother’s one rule was supposed to be the hard part.
But
as the friend zone disappears in the rearview mirror, Emily realizes the real
danger is not losing her heart.
It
is risking the one relationship she has never been able to live without.
Because
if this goes wrong, she does not just lose a boyfriend.
She loses Finn.
