About the book
A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.
When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was...well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young for me.
Let's back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site--one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told they'd go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn't supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating--it wasn't supposed to.
Nevertheless, that's how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only--my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn't last, but I was curious about him.
Though, you know what they say...curiosity kills the cat.
My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant.
Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away.
His sexy smile nearly melted my panties.
But...he looked so familiar.
As I got closer I realized why.
He was the son of the neighbor at our family's summer home.
The boy next door.
Only now...he was all man.
I hadn't seen him in years.
I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.
Which I did. Until summer came.
And guess who decided to use his family's summer home this year?

About the book
USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn brings more humor and heart with the third novel of her Getting Lucky series: a story about breaking curses and laying your heart on the line.
What happens when your secret crush isn’t so secret anymore?
I’ve had feelings for Eve Roberts for as long as I can remember, but because she also happens to be the twin sister of my best friend, Eric, I’ve never acted on my feelings and long ago resigned myself to keeping my crush under wraps.
But after a terrible falling-out with Eric involving a failed restaurant venture and plenty of blame on both sides, I’m back in Port Snow without my best friend and without any direction. But can you guess who’s here? Eve. And my attraction to her is as strong as ever.
As old feelings rush back, Eve and I find ourselves pulled together, whether we like it or not. Lines are crossed, secrets are kept, and we soon discover that the difference between love and friendship may not be so black and white, after all.
Everyone wants that secret crush to love them back…but will I be ready when she does?

Nine Month Contract
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
A grumpy mountain man just wanted help becoming a father, not a wild, opinionated surrogate in cowboy boots who turns his carefully controlled plan into absolute chaos. Nine Month Contract brings small-town rom-com energy, nosy brothers, a pet goat, and a whole lot of tension as one very inconvenient arrangement starts feeling a lot less professional and a lot more personal.

About the book
“A hilariously fresh and spicy rom-com that I couldn’t put down!” -Meghan Quinn, USA Today Bestselling Author
Help Wanted: Grumpy mountain man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting as the form of communication and nosy brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.
I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life.
But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands in my lap.
Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life.
Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she’s perfect.
She’s wild, she’s opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her…
She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for.
And to my great horror, I realize on our first night of attempting this baby-making dance—when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing and the home-insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter—I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate.
I want to make her mine.

About the book
From International bestselling author Maggie Cole comes a morally gray psychological romance where boundaries are temptation, ethics are foreplay, and a dangerously perceptive woman sets her stalker sights on her therapist.
My parents made me see a therapist for stalking.
They thought Dr. Red Mercer would cure me. They assumed he would teach me restraint, discipline, and distance. What they didn’t count on was the way his gaze lingers too long, like he’s undressing the truth instead of treating it. Or how his voice tightens every time I say exactly what I’m thinking.
He says boundaries. I hear an invitation.
He says ethics. I see a man begging not to want me.
I’m not spiraling. I’m precise. I know where he draws the line and exactly how to leap over it.
Red calls my fixation a disorder.
I call it fate already in motion.
This is my version of the sessions.
And no matter how hard he fights it, I’ll strip away his control until Dr. Red Mercer admits what we both know.
He was never meant to resist me.
Resisting Blue is book one of the Beautiful Delusions Duet. This book contains self-harm. See Authors Note inside the book for trigger warnings.

About the book
Beloved author Kasie West's sparkling adult rom-com debut about a hopeless romantic falling for the one man she never expected
Can a swipe right turn into swept away?
Margot Hart is a hopeless romantic. That’s why she wants to be a literary agent—to help bring romance books to the world. It’s also why she hates dating apps with all her romance loving soul. She wants her own love story to be just as much fun as the books she reads—a mixed up coffee order, a mistaken identity. She’s not going to tell the story that she swiped right on future husband’s shirtless pic for the rest of her life.
The problem is that her most consistent relationship over the last several years is with Oliver, a guy she keeps rematching with on the apps. They’ve only been on one date and it was a disaster…well, until the make out session in the car before parting ways. But, she keeps reminding herself, a make out session does not a relationship make. And so there will not be a date two regardless of how witty their app banter is.
When Margot gets fired from her job on the same day she meets Oliver again, her life becomes a veritable shit show. Her dream career is dying right before her eyes, and Oliver thinks she’s interested in only one thing: a repeat of the hot make out session they had three years ago so she can get him out of her system. And maybe that is all she wants from him, because she and Oliver are definitely not compatible—he doesn’t hit the snooze button, he runs five miles every morning, he reads nonfiction, and worst of all, she didn’t meet him in cute way! But in her scramble to keep her dream career alive, by opening her own agency, Oliver is there with his golden retriever energy, more steady and helpful than any man she’s ever dated. Just when she thinks she’s overcome her app bias, she realizes that maybe it’s not her who’s holding back, but him. And his reasons are more than she bargained for.
Kasie West's romantic and sexy adult debut is full of witty banter, meet cutes gone awry and, ultimately, true love.

Our take
Love feels easier to orchestrate for others than to claim for yourself. In From Paris, with Butter, a proposal planner who has sworn off dating finds her routine disrupted by a brooding neighbor with a stalled culinary career. Sharing a cramped Parisian kitchen draws them into reluctant collaboration and unexpected intimacy in this grumpy sunshine romance set among cobblestone streets and patisseries.
Choose your retailer
About the book
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.
