Mistletoe All the Way by Lauren Blakely

She wants to make him Mr. Holiday. He wants to stay a certified Grinch. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a small-town spicy holiday romance about a guarded cowboy veterinarian and a Christmas-loving optimist who team up for a town holiday competition.

Dr. Noah Lennox lives by three holiday rules—avoid his hometown, cheerful people, and Christmas itself.

But when his beloved grandfather announces he’s retiring and handing the cherished sleigh-ride farm to either Noah or his slick cousin Stephen, the first rule goes out the window. Back home in Evergreen Falls, the veterinarian vows to fight for the farm that means everything to him. The problem is, the town doesn’t exactly welcome its resident Scrooge with open arms.

Except for one very charming holiday enthusiast. Eloise Langston, a sunny tourism bureau hopeful, needs a win to land her dream job—and to pay the rent. Her holly jolly plan? Turn the broody, broad-shouldered grump into a festive front-runner to help the town’s Mr. Holiday Competition draw record crowds.

Transforming a camera-shy cowboy vet into a small-town sweetheart isn’t exactly in her job description—but neither is falling for him.

Soon, Noah and Eloise find themselves tangled in twinkle lights, fake kisses, and one very real attraction. But with the farm’s future at stake, Stephen’s scheming, and Eloise’s career on the line, there’s a blizzard of reasons to put their feelings on ice.

Or will they fight to turn their holiday fling into forever under the mistletoe?

Free To Heal by Tracey Jerald

Can a villain be redeemed enough to fall in love?

Dr. Bryan Moser has made mistakes. A lot of them.

Decades ago, he fell in love with one woman—only to get engaged to her sister. What followed was a disaster of his own making, ending in choices Bryan has spent years regretting. Eventually, he confronted his past and became a man determined to do better. Now Chief of Staff at Greenwich Hospital, Bryan has built a life dedicated to caring for others.

But there’s still something missing.

Until Shelby Carlisle.

The first time they meet, an instant spark leads to one unforgettable night. The second, Bryan is delivering the keynote address at her twins’ medical school graduation. The third? Shelby lands in his ER.

From that moment on, their connection is impossible to dismiss. The more time Bryan spends with the sassy, successful hotel owner, the more certain he becomes she’s the one for him.

There’s just one thing standing between them—the truth about the man he was.

Telling Shelby means risking a future Bryan never imagined he’d have. But if he wants a chance at more, she deserves to know the man he once was.

What Bryan is about to learn is that moving on is about owning your mistakes, fighting to heal, and believing you’re worthy of the love.

Brighter Than the Stars by Elizabeth O'Roark

I was raised to believe the danger lived outside our walls. And Ford James looked like the most dangerous thing of all.

I’ve spent my entire life inside Bright Covenant — a religious community with rules for everything, a place where questions aren’t allowed. When my family is sent to heal Westside, a small Florida beach town, I arrive certain of two things: the world outside is exactly as dangerous as I was warned, and Ford James — who vandalized our home before we’d even unpacked — is proof.

He’s the reason I had to leave home during my final year of school. He’s the reason half the senior class wants me gone. But he also makes me question everything I know, and want things I’ve never wanted before—things I’m meant to save for my husband.

Come June, I board a plane to Bolivia, and will return engaged to a member of Bright Covenant.

Which means I have one year to decide if Ford James is really the villain. Or worth burning my world down for.

Once Upon a Lie (The Protectors #2) by Max Monroe

An undercover cop. A mobster’s daughter. The best love stories start with a lie in this funny, emotional, suspenseful rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe.

Valentina Cordone doesn’t need a prince—she’s got a thriving bagel-and-book shop in Nashville, game nights with her quirky crew, and a perfectly good life. But when her attractive new neighbor shows up with effortless charm and an award-winning smile, she starts to reconsider.

Detective Shane Maddox went undercover to surveil a mob boss’s daughter. What he didn’t expect? That she’d be a lovable ray of sunshine, nothing like the crime princess he imagined. He planned to get close but walk away untouched. Instead, he’s falling hard…and realizing she’s in more danger than she knows.

Torn between duty and desire, Shane keeps his identity secret while protecting Valentina from her family’s criminal empire. As the truth explodes, he must prove his love is real while keeping her alive—no small feat when she won’t take his calls.

Even though the prince is a liar, he can’t risk losing his princess.

Sometimes fairy tales don’t start with once upon a time. They start with once upon a lie.

Carved in the Shadows by A.L. Jackson

It was a terrible idea to agree to move in with my best friend’s little sister…

She is everything I’ve ever wanted and the one thing I can’t have.

As our motorcycle club’s Vice President, I’m charged with her protection.

Touching her would be a penalty subject to death.

When she demands the chance to spread her wings, it’s my duty to go with her.

I knew staying at her new apartment would be excruciating.

Listening to her in her room and imagining her under the fall of the shower.

But when she asks me to crawl into bed with her so she won’t feel so alone, there’s nothing I can do.

One brush of her hand and I’m crumbling.

One crook of those fingers and I’m trapped.

One reckless night and there’s no going back.

Only with the lives we lead, our enemies are never far away, and as she begins to receive threats, I’m in a race to end the threat before it’s too late.

Soon, our secrets unravel, and I’m faced with the consequence of loving her.

But I promised her everything, and I’m willing to offer the greatest sacrifice.

Paging Dr. Van Ryan by Melanie Moreland

Blurb:

He was the right person at the wrong time. Fate wasn't finished with them yet.

An emotional friends-to-lovers doctor-nurse contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland.

Matthew VanRyan

ER doctor, prankster, friend to all.

His easy smile and quiet demeanor hide the pain he doesn't talk about.

Love is one prescription he refuses to fill ever again.

Until he meets her.

The one with the sweet smile, soft eyes, and gentle touch.

She reawakens his belief in love. In forever.

Until life comes between them and they are forced to agree: the right person at the wrong time.

But when fate steps in and brings them together, can the doctor and the nurse heal themselves?

Author's Note
Paging Dr. VanRyan is a complete standalone contemporary romance — a friends-to-lovers medical romance with a wounded hero, a heroine who sees straight through him, and the guaranteed happily ever after you've come to expect from me. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Just two people who found each other at the wrong time and refused to let that be the end of the story.

Breakaway Bet by Lisa Suzanne

Waking up with a ring on my finger and a professional hockey player in my bed was not on my Vegas itinerary. Especially since that hockey player is Vegas Vengeance superstar Cash Maddox, my brother's sworn enemy. But maybe he's exactly the kind of reckless choice I need. I'm the youngest Bradley...sheltered, overprotected, and, yes, still a virgin. He's an experienced bad boy a decade older than me. But a white dress and too much tequila lead us straight to a wedding chapel I don't remember visiting. When the hangover wears off, I realize this is my chance to break away from my family's constant hovering. We agree to two simple rules: pretend we're happily married, and don't let feelings get involved. Except Cash makes pretending a little too easy. Behind his cocky smirk is a fiercely protective, thoughtful man who inspires me to take risks. Every heated glance and stolen touch leaves me aching for him to be my first. I was only supposed to stay married to him.  I wasn't supposed to fall for him. But the more I hear Cash call me his wife, the more I want it to be real. Until the secret he's keeping catches up with us. And when I discover the truth, all bets are off. Pre-order today!

Forbidden Forward by G.K. Brady

Preorder Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0H8Q7RQ4R?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tkin_0&storeType=ebooks

She’s the one line he can’t afford to cross.

Jackie

I trusted the wrong man and lost everything.

My career. My savings. My home.

And enough faith in my own judgment that moving in with my little brother feels safer than trusting myself again.

Then I go and fall— literally— into the arms of the one man my brother warned me to stay away from.

His enemy. His teammate. The infuriatingly handsome complication I absolutely do not need.

I’m prepared to hate him. But I’m not prepared for the way he makes me feel.

Until I stumble across who he is when no one’s watching, and suddenly I’m seeing Colby in a whole new light.

The moody forward is nothing like my brother said.

And everything I shouldn’t want.

Colby

I know what one mistake can cost, and what it means to spend the rest of your life paying for it.

The guilt. The shame. The tragedy.

I was just a kid when mine happened, and my sister has lived with the consequences ever since.

That’s why I keep people at a distance, and why losing my spot on this team is not an option.

I won’t let my sister down again, and Jackie’s brother is already looking for a reason to get rid of me.

If I don’t keep my head in the game and my hands to myself, Jackie could be that reason.

One kiss crosses the line. One night obliterates it. Every stolen touch makes it harder to remember why she’s off-limits.

If he discovers what we’re doing behind his back, I could lose the game, the girl… and the only future I’ve got left.

Perfect for readers who love:
Brother's teammate • Forbidden romance • Secret cinnamon roll • Slow burn • Redemption romance • Sailor hero

He’s my former best friend and my husband of convenience, but he’s not the man that got me pregnant.

Add on that the baby’s father wants nothing to do with us and I no longer have healthcare coverage, and well?

 

I start to panic.

 

Enter Easton Buckley—Mr. Dependable, lineman with great health benefits, and a stubborn streak that pays off when he convinces me to marry him so my baby and I can be taken care of.

 

The problem is, Easton and I haven’t been on good terms for years, and neither of us has attempted to fix it.

 

Yet now I’m living with him, forced to see him shirtless, and wondering why hearing him call me his wife is making my hormones even more wild.

 

Then I figure out his secret.

 

And there’s no stopping the flood of emotions and unresolved feelings that come up.

 

I’m scared to fall for Easton. I don’t want him to be a mistake like every other love interest in my life.

 

But what if the reality is, you can’t help who your heart chooses to love? Even if they could be the one to break it once and for all?

Blurb:

She wasn’t supposed to come back broken.
She definitely wasn’t supposed to find him waiting.
And she absolutely wasn’t supposed to want the life she left behind.

Posey Adkins has built a career out of knowing what she wants—what tastes right, what sells, what’s worth a second look. As a writer and food critic, she’s made a name for herself one sharp review and recipe at a time. But when her carefully ordered life cracks wide open, there’s only one place she can think to run: the small Texas town of Hartsville, where memories she’s spent years avoiding are alive and well.

Especially the one named Beck.

Beck Wallace never did learn how to forget Posey. Not the summer she came to Hartsville grieving her mama. Not the night they gave each other everything, knowing morning would still come with goodbye. She had a future waiting in New York, and his was rooted in the family ranch that had been theirs for generations.

Now Posey is back, and Beck isn’t the boy she left behind. He’s built something of his own—a thriving restaurant, a place on the ranch, a life he’s proud of. The only thing missing is the woman who taught him to live well and love hard.

This time around, Beck isn’t interested in almost. He’s ready to fight for Posey and for their second chance. Most of all, he’s ready to show her the dreams she’s been chasing have perhaps been here all along.
