Choose your retailer
About the book
When the rookie who ended your rugby career moves in next door.
Retired legend Owen Bosley is used to the quiet life. After a career ending injury eight years ago, Owen leaves it all behind in exchange for a fresh start. Now he’s the landlord of his local pub in a chocolate-box village. The Little Thatch is the heart of the community, but there’s one problem. The pub needs work… expensive renovation work, so to help pay for the repairs, Owen rents out his cottage and moves into the tiny apartment upstairs.
But nothing could prepare him for who would move in.
Pro rugby star Mathias Jones never expected to be signed to the one team whose fans despise him, but some opportunities are too good to pass up. A few months with the Centurions seem like an eternity, but Mathias is determined to see it through. He’s here to play rugby, not make friends.
Seeking refuge in the quiet countryside, Mathias figures he can escape the fallout from his mistakes and the crowds who insist on reminding him. But when he meets his new landlord, it’s clear that running from his past won’t be easy.
For the former rivals, finding common ground on opposite sides of the bar should be easier than on the field. But with Owen overwhelmed by renovations and Matthias fighting to prove himself on the team, the weight of their shared history may be one challenge too big to tackle.
One Last Try is an age gap MM rugby romance with a cheery single dad pub owner and a grumpy sportsman. Expect slow burn, forced proximity, a barrel of rugby puns, and a village full of hilarious punters. One Last Try is the first in the brand-new Try for Love series of interconnected rugby standalones.

About the book
A billionaire's bet. A wedding without a bride. And the planner who never planned on falling for the groom.
When Manhattan's most meticulous wedding planner Anica Marcel is offered one million dollars to orchestrate charming tech billionaire Callan Burkhardt's perfect wedding, sans a bride, she knows it's a recipe for disaster. He needs to marry someone within three months to win a $30 million bet with his friends. She needs the money to expand her business. The only problem? He's cocky, knows it, and is sabotaging every match she finds for him.
Their arrangement has clear boundaries: she'll plan his dream wedding and help him find a suitable match. No emotional entanglements. No crossing lines. Absolutely no falling for each other.
But as they navigate venue visits posing as an engaged couple and spend time with Callan's meddling grandmother, those professional boundaries blur. Behind his cynical view of love and playboy façade, Anica discovers a man with genuine kindness and unexpected vulnerabilities. And despite her best defenses, Callan sees through her perfectly organized exterior to the heart she's kept carefully guarded since her ex cheated on her with a client.
When things heat up between the two of them, Anica faces an impossible choice: risk her heart on a man who doesn't believe love exists, or walk away from the only one who's made her want to trust again.
Witty, emotional, and deliciously romantic—Bride Not Included delivers wedding season's most swoon-worthy read.

About the book
Love wasn’t on Sam Caldwell’s agenda until a city boy with haunted eyes and no coat crashed into his world.
As a fourth-generation maple farmer in Caldwell Crossing, New Hampshire, Sam is rooted in tradition, family, and a quiet life filled with woodsmoke, laughter, and loyal friends. But everything changes when he finds Ben Marshall half-frozen on the side of the road. Ben is sharp, guarded, and running from his past—yet there’s a pull between them that Sam can’t ignore.
Ben never expected to end up in a snowy New Hampshire town, especially not after losing everything in Boston. Forced to leave his career and reputation behind, he retreats to the one safe place left—his great-aunt Harriet’s home in Caldwell Crossing. But safety doesn’t mean peace, and the last thing he needs is to catch feelings for the grumpy, gentle farmer who rescued him.
As winter thaws and maple flows, so does something deeper between Sam and Ben—trust, laughter, and the terrifying possibility of love. But when Ben’s past threatens to drag him back under, can two men who’ve built walls around their hearts find the courage to create something together?
Love Story features a city boy starting over, a maple farmer rooted in tradition, found family, best friends, early mornings that turn into something more, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.

About the book
Welcome to Mayweather...
Brenden Sanderson is known in his small town for his sunny personality and being friends with everyone. But when he accidentally tells his adopted daughter’s grandparents that he’s in a serious relationship right before they announce an unexpected visit, he goes into panic mode.
His longtime friend Travis Reed is known in town as a grumpy loner, but he has his reasons, and he also has a serious soft spot for Brenden. So when he offers to help Brenden out by being his fake boyfriend, Brenden isn’t going to turn him down.
What neither of them expect, though, is for fake boyfriends to turn into fake boyfriends with benefits, and then into something else that feels a lot less fake.

About the book
Who gets married out of convenience? Apparently, I do.
My best friend was only supposed to be my fake date to a work event in Vegas. But when my ex showed up with another woman on his arm, my friend suggested the ultimate payback: pretending we were engaged.
When I accidentally mention my medical insurance issues due to a car accident, he proposes taking our charade to the next level—a temporary marriage until I'm better.
I nearly spit out my drink.
Yeah, right. Like that won't completely ruin our friendship.
But we can’t go back now. Our charade worked so well that everyone bought it—even my ex who leaked our Vegas wedding all over the internet.
Now we have to go through with this farce…at least until I'm better and the media storm dies down for my hockey star husband.
If that wasn't complicated enough, my sister is married to his brother, which means this fake marriage just took things from ‘mildly complicated’ to ‘full-blown family soap opera.’
We'll have to sell this to our friends and family by fake kissing and sharing a bedroom, all while sticking to our friend zone rules behind closed doors.
But there’s just one tiny secret he doesn’t know:
I’ve been in love with my best friend since I met him.
When he pulls me close and says, “my wife,” I know I won’t ever forget that.
I might have married my best friend out of convenience, but love is anything but convenient.
Perfectly Wedded is a closed door hockey romcom with a holiday epilogue that includes tropes like marriage of convenience, forced proximity, and friends to lovers. This is the first book in a clean, closed door hockey spin off series with just kisses but all the emotional payoff.

About the book
From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes the saga of a young woman who dares to chart her own destiny in life and love during the American Revolutionary War.
In 1760, Deborah Samson is born to Puritan parents in Plympton, Massachusetts. When her father abandons the family and her mother is unable to support them, Deborah is bound out as an indentured servant. From that moment on, she yearns for a life of liberation and adventure.
Twenty years later, as the American colonies begin to buckle in their battle for independence, Deborah, impassioned by the cause, disguises herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental army. Her impressive height and lanky build make her transformation a convincing one, and it isn’t long before she finds herself confronting the horrors of war head-on.
But as Deborah fights for her country’s freedom, she must contend with the secret of who she is—and, ultimately, a surprising love she can’t deny.

Our take
Longing and isolation shape every page of The Wish Collector, where two wounded strangers form a connection across walls built by grief and shame.

This is an emotional romance with gothic atmosphere, tenderness, and the quiet ache of healing.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New Orleans, a city of mystery and magic, of secrets and dreams, and a history drenched in both love and the deepest of heartache.
When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man. A scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.
The ruined man behind the wall hides himself from the world. The last thing he expects is to find a friend in the selfless girl who speaks to him through the cracks in the rock. The girl who keeps returning week after week. The girl who makes him wish for things he has long since given up on. The girl who strikes both fear and hope within his wounded heart. But there can be no future for them, no life beyond Windisle, for no one knows better than him that monsters only live in the dark.
The Wish Collector is the story of shame and triumph, of loneliness and love, and the miracle of two hearts connecting despite the strongest of barriers between them.
