This sports romance fits readers who want rivalry-driven tension, forbidden attraction, and a relationship tested by identity, pride, and divided loyalties.
The Rivalry
Romance · College Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
The Rivalry turns college football loyalty into the obstacle between attraction and commitment. She knows the star tight end has the charm, confidence, and chemistry to pull her in, but his team represents everything she was raised to hate. This sports romance fits readers who want rivalry-driven tension, forbidden attraction, and a relationship tested by identity, pride, and divided loyalties.

About the book
This tight end is at the top of his game.
He’s good with his hands, even better with his sexy mouth, and the best at making me forget my own name. His—ahem—stats are perfect.
But I can’t fall for him.
He might be everything I want, all rolled into a glorious package of gridiron god, but there’s one teeny-tiny problem. The vile, loathsome team I’ve spent my entire life hating—my beloved school’s arch-rival?
This guy is their star player.

The Player and the Pixie
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom · Sports Romance
Our take
The Player and the Pixie pairs a guarded rugby star with the one woman who refuses to be impressed by him.

About the book
Spicy Sports Romance collaboration between bestselling authors Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway!
How can someone so smokin’ hot be so bad in bed? I mean, Sean Cassidy is absolute rubbish. RUBBISH. He is the epitome of walking, talking false advertising and I want a refund! Plus he’s an arsehole. So… what is wrong with me that I can’t stop thinking about him?
THE PIXIE
Lucy Fitzpatrick doesn’t like rugby. As the little sister of Ireland’s most infamous rugby player, Lucy can’t seem to escape the championship-sized shadow cast by her big brother, or her mother’s frequent attempts to micromanage her future. Her rainbow hair is as free-spirited as her quest for inner peace, yet overbearing expectations keep bringing her down. And when she’s down, her compulsive little problem lands her in seriously big trouble.
THE PLAYER
Sean Cassidy is a cold-hearted brute… or so he’s been told. Frequently. By everyone. His blonde locks, baby blues, and rock hard bod make ladies the world over drool with desire. As the rugby world’s second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success. But Sean has never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with Lucy’s big brother leave him cold. And when he’s cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in the lap of Lucy Fitzpatrick.
THE PLAN
Sean has a problem only Lucy can solve. Lucy has a problem only Sean can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and I’ll bail you out of jail. But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves Sean scorching hot and Lucy on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the world—and Lucy’s big brother in particular—that this is the real deal? Either way, both the Player and the Pixie are about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.
The Pixie and the Player is a full-length, romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the second book in the Rugby Series.

Garron Park turns lifelong rivalry into a volatile MM romance shaped by poverty, violence, and reluctant need.
Garron Park
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Contemporary Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Garron Park turns lifelong rivalry into a volatile MM romance shaped by poverty, violence, and reluctant need. Devon and Maddox have spent years clashing in motocross, work, and survival, but one brutal night forces them into unexpected proximity. Their hatred shifts into desire without softening the world around them, making this enemies-to-lovers romance raw, combative, and emotionally bruised.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Garron Park, where hope dies and no one ever gets ahead. Until…
When Devon Sawyer desperately searches for his brother in the middle of the night, beaten and broken, he finds Maddox Kane instead. With his dad on his trail, he has no choice but to stand on his enemy’s doorstep and let Maddox help.
Maddox has never seen Devon this vulnerable. Living in Garron’s trailer park means families dole out discipline on the regular and violence is a part of life, but something about how far Jim Sawyer takes it this time has Maddox unnerved.
Rivals in motocross, work, and life itself, they’re forced to work together for one night. Perspectives change and their friction morphs into something unexpected.
Hatred turns to lust.
Tensions switch from hostile to aroused.
While their competitiveness remains, their dynamic shifts. Their acceptance is anything but graceful.
Two guys who come from nothing, with very little to look forward to, find themselves craving each other in new and fiery ways.
Reluctantly.

About the book
USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"A romantic comedy that's fun and flirty, young and fresh." - PopSugar
Named one of the Best Romances of 2020 by EW, OprahMag, Buzzfeed, Insider, and NPR!
Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy #ownvoices enemies-to-lovers novel, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!
A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn't lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina's offered an opportunity that could change her life. There's just one hitch... she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he'll be working with his brother's whip-smart, stunning--absolutely off-limits--ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.
If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they'll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina's ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn't interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again...
"The Worst Best Man is rom-com perfection. . . Sosa has a gift with words that's infectious and wry, one that keeps the pages turning in delight." --Entertainment Weekly

About the book
What happens when he's your Romeo, but you're no Juliet?
Romeo and I were friends long before we were lovers. Best friends. Ride or die. What started as an innocent kiss slowly unraveled and shattered, giving way to years of tears and total obsession.
Now I’m back in the small town I call home, staring straight into the face of the only man I’ve ever loved…or hated. To make matters worse, his wife stands at his side, smiling sweetly as my heart breaks all over again.
When life throws us back together, cracks quickly start to appear in the perfect façade of their marriage, and I’m left fighting the unstoppable force that is my attraction to Romeo.
My enemy.
My lover.
My life.
Some say fate is written in the stars and once something is done, it can’t be undone.
But what if that isn’t true?
If you could rewrite the stars and unbreak your heart, would you?
Romeo Falling is an angsty, obsessive, possessive MM romance that contains cheating (not between MC's). It is not a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

About the book
"The Boys of Tommen meets The Summer I Turned Pretty for the New Adult crowd! A perfect summer read if you want some spice, banter, and a lot of heart.” - The Book Blitzer
*Illustrated cover available in paperback!*
When they say to keep your enemies close, I don’t think they mean ten feet down the hall.
After experiencing the bliss of being away at college, I’d rather hide in the dorm room air ducts than go back to my hometown for the summer. Sadly, that isn’t an option (Seriously, I tried. The vents aren’t wide enough). I have no other choice. I have to return to Ravenswood—and the torment I’ve been trying to forget.
Jason “Jase” Rivers was the most gorgeous guy I’d ever met—charming, clever, and nothing like the rough-and-tumble hockey goon everyone in high school warned me about. Until he turned out to be exactly that—and worse. He humiliated me so badly I eventually changed my last name to escape my reputation after moving away. So when I hook up with a sexy stranger on my first night back in town, I’m horrified to realize a little too late that he’s not as much of a stranger as I thought. When Jase exited my life three years ago (hopefully to be launched into space or lost at sea), I thought I’d never have to see him again, but guess who’s also back in Ravenswood? Yep. My living nightmare. And just when I think it can’t get worse…
I learn he’s staying at my family’s house. All. Summer. Long.
They say time heals everything, but the letter I never sent him is just as true today as it was back then.
Dear Jase,
You were the greatest mistake of my life.
Insincerely Yours,
Ali

Battle Royal
Romance · RomCom
Our take
Battle Royal sets two rival bakers against each other in a high-profile competition for a royal wedding cake. Sylvie’s whimsical style once got her dismissed by Dominic, whose polished perfection made him a British baking institution, but judging panels and palace pressure force them into the same orbit again.

About the book
“Lucy Parker writes deliciously fun enemies-to-lovers perfection!” — Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author
Beloved author Lucy Parker pens a delicious new romantic comedy that is a battle of whisks and wits.
Ready…
Four years ago, Sylvie Fairchild charmed the world as a contestant on the hit baking show, Operation Cake. Her ingenious, creations captivated viewers and intrigued all but one of the judges, Dominic De Vere. When Sylvie's unicorn cake went spectacularly sideways, Dominic was quick to vote her off the show. Since then, Sylvie has used her fame to fulfill her dream of opening a bakery. The toast of Instagram, Sugar Fair has captured the attention of the Operation Cake producers…and a princess.
Set…
Dominic is His Majesty the King’s favorite baker and a veritable British institution. He’s brilliant, talented, hard-working. And an icy, starchy grouch. Learning that Sylvie will be joining him on the Operation Cake judging panel is enough to make the famously dour baker even more grim. Her fantastical baking is only slightly more troublesome than the fact that he can’t stop thinking about her pink-streaked hair and irrepressible dimple.
Match…
When Dominic and Sylvie learn they will be fighting for the once in a lifetime opportunity to bake a cake for the upcoming wedding of Princess Rose, the flour begins to fly as they fight to come out on top.
The bride adores Sylvie’s quirky style. The palace wants Dominic’s classic perfection.
In this royal battle, can there be room for two?
With its quirky characters, witty humor, and mouth-watering descriptions of baked goods, Battle Royal is the perfect beach read for fans of contemporary romance and the Great British Bake Off.

About the book
Alisha Rai, one of contemporary romance’s brightest stars, makes her Avon Books debut with the first novel in the sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
One night. No one will know.
That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy that haunted their pasts—and the last names that made them enemies.
Until the night she didn’t show up.
Now Nicholas has an empire to run. He doesn’t have time for distractions and Livvy’s sudden reappearance in town is a major distraction. She’s the one woman he shouldn’t want . . . so why can’t he forget how right she feels in his bed?
Livvy didn’t come home for Nicholas, but fate seems determined to remind her of his presence—and their past. Although the passion between them might have once run hot and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that divided their families.
Being together might be against all the rules . . . but being apart is impossible.

Our take
The Billionaire’s Wake-up-call Girl turns a brutal 4:30 a.m. assignment into a secret connection between a grumpy CEO and the assistant he doesn’t know is calling him.

About the book
"One of the top romantic comedy novels!"~Bookguide
When my manager assigns me the task of finding a new wake up call service for our CEO, I think, how hard can this be?
Answer: practically impossible.
No wake-up call company in the world will take him on as a client. They’ve all had enough of his surly personality.
So in an effort not to lose my job, I secretly start making the calls myself, every day at 4:30 am sharp. OMG yes you read that right—four freaking thirty in the morning.
Confession: I’m not the nicest wake-up-call girl at that hour. Hello! Who wakes up before the roosters are even crowing? Luckily he doesn’t seem to mind my get-your-ass-out-of-bed attitude.
Day by day we’re becoming closer, and the calls start turning hot, like pay-by-the-minute hot and oh-so-wild. Snuggled under the covers with the moonlight streaming in the windows, we divulge our secrets to each other, but the one thing that he can never find out is that the sexy vixen who wakes him up every morning is just the lowly assistant who wears frumpy dresses. I can only imagine his disappointment.
Now he wants to take me out on a date and he’s scouring Manhattan to find me. He’s an overachieving billionaire bent on a mission. How much longer can I keep up this charade?
Standalone read! This book can be read as a pure standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
The Billionaire's Wake-up-call Girl is an enemies-to-lovers romcom standalone from New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin - part of the Billionaires of Manhattan series of romantic comedy books for readers who love to laugh.

Choose your retailer
About the book
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a smart, emotional contemporary romance about finding love with the most unlikely of people.
As kids, they hated each other. Macon Saint was beautiful, but despite his name, Delilah knew he was the devil. That he dated her slightly evil sister, Samantha, was no picnic either. When they broke up, it was a dream come true: Delilah never had to see him again.
Ten years later, her old enemy sends a text.
Delilah’s sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town.
Sparks still sizzle between Macon and Delilah, only this heat feels alarmingly like unwanted attraction. But Delilah is desperate to keep her weak-hearted mother from learning of her sister’s theft. So she proposes a deal: she’ll pay off the debt by being Macon’s personal chef and assistant.
It’s a recipe for disaster, but Macon can’t stop himself from accepting. Even though Delilah clearly hates him, there’s something about her that feels like home. Besides, they’re no longer kids, and what once was a bitter rivalry has the potential to be something sweeter. Something like forever.

About the book
Marrying the man I hate is bad enough. But falling for him? That’ll be the death of me.
Gabriel Thompson and I are like oil and water. Our New York families control two of the nation’s largest companies and the business rivalry is decades old. We’ve carried the torch ourselves since childhood.
But then we bump into each other after a conference in Vegas. Drinks are involved, and he utters the three little words I can’t resist. I dare you. The next morning we wake up hungover, late, and worst of all, married.
It’s a PR disaster. To save our reputations, we have to sell this marriage to the media and to our families. Go to parties. Move in together. Act in love.
Neither of us have ever mentioned that one drunken night in college, when we crossed lines branded into us from birth. I’d assumed he’d forgotten and moved on.
He hasn’t, and he’s determined to show what I’ve been missing. But Gabriel is too confident, too smug, and far too attractive for anything real. I can never let my guard down.
With his ring on my finger, we’re destined to be enemies forever.
Til’ death do us part… unless we kill each other first.
