When in Rome
Romance · RomCom
Our take
Fame offers freedom until it begins to feel like a cage. In When in Rome, a burned-out pop star hides in a small Kentucky town and collides with a guarded baker who wants nothing to do with her spotlight. Their forced proximity sparks a slow-burn romance grounded in vulnerability, community, and the courage it takes to choose an ordinary life over a glamorous one.

About the book
Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.
“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone
ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.
When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own.
Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.
Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

Secrets rot beneath the surface of a town already steeped in blood.

This dark romantic suspense blends macabre humor, volatile attraction, and escalating danger where love feels inseparable from ruin.

About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where love is ripe for ruin.
It’s time to reap what you sow.
Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they’re ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn’t who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the center of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unraveling.
Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she’s falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she’s vowed to protect? He’s become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.
Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.

Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable.
Something’s Wrong With Maddie
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Sports Romance
Our take
Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable. Piper hides her undead girlfriend from neighbors and police as hunger turns devotion into complicity. This sapphic horror novel fuses dark romance, splatterpunk gore, and grief-fueled obsession into a story where love becomes both lifeline and liability.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maddie died. Piper refused to accept it.
One blood ritual later and Maddie is back—undead, starving and nothing close to resembling human. Despite her deceased girlfriend reeking of rotting flesh, Piper decides she’ll do anything to keep her zombie girlfriend: lie to suspicious neighbors, outwit a nosy cop, and make sure the apartment complex’s missing-person flyers don’t point to their kitchen.
As scraps of the old Maddie surface, so do the hunger pangs. The body count begins to pile up, and Piper has to decide what she's willing to do to keep her girlfriend fed.
Part sapphic dark romance, part black-comedy horror, Something’s Wrong With Maddie is a gore-slick tale of grief, obsession, and devotion with sharp splatterpunk bite, body-horror set pieces, and a love story that refuses to die—even when it really should.

Alissa Lewis is looking for more than just inspiration… she needs an escape.
After being unceremoniously fired from the newspaper she where worked for years, Alissa feels lost and uncertain. On a whim, she books a getaway to a literary themed B&B near a small beachfront town called Blueberry Bay.

As luck would have it, an opportunity to extend her stay arises when she finds out that the local paper is hiring. There’s only one problem—the man who runs it is as grumpy as he is intriguing.
Dane Taylor is from New York, and unlike Alissa, he’s skeptical of the peaceful charm small-town life has to offer. But as the two of them begin to work together, Alissa realizes they have more in common than she first thought. And as Dane reveals his softer side, feelings start to develop that neither of them expected.
Shaking things up even more, Alissa’s twin sister Caitlin pays a surprise visit and admits that her marriage is in trouble.
As the sisters lean on each other through the changes and challenges they face, Alissa realizes she’s at a crossroads between the life she thought she wanted and the true meaning of happiness.
She thought Blueberry Bay would be her escape, but instead, it’s starting to feel a lot like... home.
Nestled against the beautiful New England town of Whale Harbor, Blueberry Bay is a cozy coastal town with sandy beaches and a cast of characters who’ll make you laugh, smile, and be swept away. If you enjoy clean romance and stories that celebrate family and friendship, this series is for you!

About the book
Can these opposites turn up the heat... without burning down the house?
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can't wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn't have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless...sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she's not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she's spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He's the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?

Margot Delcour has witnessed precisely 187 proposals as a server at the Eiffel Tower’s iconic restaurant, expertly guiding nervous romantics through their big moment while still managing to bake rainbow macarons and croissants the size of her face on her days off. She’s a hopeless romantic—for other people. After a string of comically tragic first dates, Paris’s expert proposal planner has sworn off dating entirely.
Her new neighbor, Laurent Roche, isn’t exactly helping matters. Brooding, chronically grumpy, and content to avoid conversation altogether, he's determined to keep their relationship limited to awkward hallway nods...until Margot learns he once walked away from a brilliant career as a chef.
When Laurent is unexpectedly offered a chance at a high-profile culinary comeback, Margot plans to stay far away. That is, until Laurent challenges the safe, romance-free life Margot has chosen, and she agrees to step into a role that risks exposing both her talent and her heart.
Soon they’re sharing a tiny Parisian kitchen, trading barbs over butter ratios, and discovering a spark rising faster than pâte à choux. But falling for a funny, gorgeous, perpetually grumpy neighbor comes with complications—especially when neither of them planned on risking their hearts.
Set against cobblestone streets, cozy bistros, and moonlit patisseries, From Paris, With Butter is filled with sparkling banter, mouthwatering food, and the unexpected magic of falling for the person next door.

About the book
One struggling popstar. One romance writer with a savior complex. One deal with the devil.
IVY
So... I accidentally fell for a former boybander. No, not the one with the soaring solo career and the fragrance line—the other one. Ian Pope may be hot AF, but he's also fresh out of rehab and hitched to a long list of tabloid headlines. Yeah. That one.
There’s just one teeny problem: I might be the one who needs saving.
To keep my skeletons in the closet, I agree to a questionable arrangement with Ian’s manager. Now I’ve got a choice: finally face my past or keep pretending I’m just the quirky writer with great one-liners and no baggage. And if I choose truth over self-preservation—will Ian still be around for the final chapter?
IAN
My life used to be screaming fans, sold-out arenas, and merch with my face on it. Then it was rehab, bad press, and the slow, painful process of getting things back on track.
Enter Ivy Chase. Romance author. Smart. Sarcastic. Hot in a way that makes you forget your own name. She doesn’t fangirl, she doesn’t flinch at my past, and somehow, she sees me as a person, not a punchline…but Ivy has secrets. I can’t afford any more chaos in my life, but she’s addictive and worth the risk.
Now I just have to prove I’m not the same guy who lost everything... and that I’m ready to fight for the one thing that might actually matter. Her.

He’s changed somehow. It’s not just that he’s got a scar on his face from a motorcycle accident. He’s… vulnerable? He has a four-year-old niece he’s caring for, and he’s willing to do anything to help me fix up the store.
As business starts to boom, we’re getting close. Too close. Everything feels perfect.
But I’m going back to NYC when my year is up, and he’s just not a part of those plans. Right?

I’m tempted to break my rule, but I know the consequences that come with dating a co-worker, and I won’t go through that again.
