About the book
Boomerangers [boo-muh-rang-ers] noun, informal: an adult that moves back home to live with a parent after a period of independence.
Spencer
I love sex. I love the power, the intimacy, the euphoria it brings. Too bad I’m not having any . . . You’d think as New Orleans’ most renowned sex therapist that I’d be swimming in single men. In a way, I am . . . except for the fact that one is in diapers and the other two are drowning in preteen hormones. As a single mother of three, my days are devoted to my clients and my kids, and my nights are spent with Fabio, my trusty vibrator. When my world begins to unravel, I have no choice but to move back home. And when my high school sweetheart comes waltzing back into my life, comedy and chaos ensue.
What can I say? I never said I could pick ’em, but you can bet your ass I know how to fix ’em.
Cooper
As soon as the ink dried on my divorce papers, I made myself a solemn vow: I was done with relationships. Moving home to take over my father’s firm was the plan, until Spencer decided to return, along with three souvenirs from the life she’s lived without me.
I’ve been in love with the girl next door for nearly all of my life; the rest was spent trying to forget her. I’d give almost anything for a second chance with her, but I have no time for distractions—especially the kind that involve diapers, bottles, and eighteen-year commitments.
The problem is, she’s already got me by the balls . . . and I’m beginning to feel the noose tightening around my heart.

What starts as a practical arrangement turns messy fast when fake dating begins to expose very real want.
Faking Ms. Right
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
What starts as a practical arrangement turns messy fast when fake dating begins to expose very real want. In Faking Ms. Right, Everly Dalton agrees to pose as her billionaire boss’s live-in girlfriend, expecting clear boundaries and easy rules. Instead, forced proximity, blurred roles, and growing attraction turn this romantic comedy into a sharp, steamy fake relationship story with heart.
Choose your retailer
About the book
“When I kissed you last night, I wasn’t pretending.”
Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass—the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf—and never gets bit.
Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position.
His solution—to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend—is obviously crazy. But the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss—a big and awkward one—and this could ensure everyone gets what they want.
Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance. Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account.
And faking it gets all too real.

About the book
"Everything you’d ever want a rom com to be.” —Hannah Grace, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Icebreaker
Catching flights . . . and feelings.
Asher Bennett thought his relationship was just fine. Until he’s unceremoniously dumped at the Boston airport ahead of The Epic Trek, the worldwide travel competition reality show. Armed with only a ticket and righteous indignation, Asher finds solace at an airport TGI Fridays. Luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff.
Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He’s the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed down: Prove you're prioritizing work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings. Struggling to bask in his new downtime, he stumbles upon the perfect opportunity. The handsome guy at his favorite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner . . . on a nationally televised reality show.
As Theo and Asher buckle up to fake date for the cameras, the undercurrents of attraction make them wonder if their on-screen chemistry hints at something bigger. But do they have the courage to leave their baggage behind for another chance at love?

Our take
A fake engagement is supposed to solve one problem, not create a much bigger one.

About the book
I have two goals this season:
1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.
2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.
When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.
So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.
She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.
It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.
EMPTY NET is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a cinnamon roll goalie (who is a very good boy)who is fake engaged to a headstrong heroine, found family vibes, slightly unhinged group chats with teammates, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
Some feelings survive distance, fallout, and every reason not to act on them.

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?

About the book
A brand new fake dating destination romcom to fall in love with in 2026!
'[A] bright, beautiful, and absolutely addictive read.' NetGalley reviewer
No one said fake dating was going to be easy…
Two weeks ago, Lexi O’Reilly had her perfect job. Today, she’s being fired for seeing something she shouldn’t have. With a social media scandal waiting to drop, all she wants is to disappear until the storm has passed.
Enter Tristan Martinelli, her brother’s best friend and oceanographer. With a deadline looming for his upcoming tv series, Tristan has run out of footage, money, and sponsorships to finish his series. All he wants is to wrap up his life’s work and meet his deadline.
When the perfect job presents itself – a three-month stint at an exclusive private island resort with some of the best-preserved reefs in the world, where Lexi will run the hotel, and Tristan the dive centre – the only snag is that they must be a couple to apply. Despite knowing how she feels about Tristan, they make a deal to fake being engaged to apply for the job. Surely pretending to be in love with the man you’re already in love with should be easy, right?

A kitchen fire sparks the kind of chaos that is harder to laugh off once feelings get involved.
Fire and Icing
Romance · RomCom
Our take
A kitchen fire sparks the kind of chaos that is harder to laugh off once feelings get involved. In Fire and Icing, a guarded baker agrees to fake-date the rookie firefighter who carried her out of her own house, only to find that baking contests, small-town loyalty, and unexpected chemistry make the arrangement harder to control. A sweet closed-door romcom built on charm, warmth, and reluctant attraction.

About the book
Talk about making a bad first impression.
The rookie at Waterford’s fire station literally hauled me out of my own home—over his shoulder. Was my kitchen on fire? Yes. Did I have it nearly contained? Also yes.
And now he’s been tasked with making up for his overzealous rescue attempts by showing up to my bakery to grovel daily. And beg for my donuts.
Don’t get me wrong, the man is built like a redwood, has the personality of a golden retriever and eyes you could get lost in for days.
But I’m not dating. Not after my last serious boyfriend left town without looking back. I’m devoted to three things: my hometown, my bakery, and my friends.
That is until an opportunity to enter a baking contest catches my eye. And I need a partner. Enter the rookie. Yes, the same one who easily lifted me and slung me over his shoulder. My best friend and business partner, bless her heart, suggests we fake a relationship—just for the sake of the contest. It seems like a simple fix.
Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him. I’m immune to his charms. Mostly.
Fire and Icing is a sweet, closed-door romcom with kisses that might require a fire extinguisher. This stand-alone story is the first in the series The Firemen of Waterford TN.

I Would Stay Forever
Romance · Teen + Young Adult · RomCom
Our take
I Would Stay Forever leans into all the delicious teenage chaos of falling for the one person you absolutely should not be falling for. With a brother’s best friend, old grief, and a heroine determined to leave everything behind after graduation, this sweet YA romance builds its tension through slow-burn feelings, emotional walls, and the terrifying possibility that staying might matter more than running. Tender, heartfelt, and full of that achy first-love energy.

About the book
Dean Graham has always been a little too smug, a little too charming, and always just a little too close.
He’s my brother’s best friend. The guy who never missed a chance to get under my skin. He never meant anything to me.
Until suddenly, he did.
On the worst night of my life, Dean was the one who held me up. Now, he’s showing up in ways I never expected, and seeing through the smile I use to keep everyone out.
But falling for Dean is out of the question. I already know how love ends, and I refuse to let it ruin me the way it ruined my family. It’s easier to protect myself this way—because I’ve already made up my mind to leave this place, and everyone in it, the moment I graduate from high school.
Now, I don’t know what scares me more: the idea of staying… or what it would mean to leave him behind.
I Would Stay Forever is a sweet & wholesome slow-burn young adult romance.

The Marriage Clause
Romance · RomCom
Our take
He fired her, she needs the job, and now the man apparently needs a wife. The Marriage Clause wastes zero time throwing Everett and Aria into a gloriously messy marriage-of-convenience setup built for banter, tension, and very bad professional boundaries. With billionaire rom-com energy and a premise that knows exactly why readers showed up, this one fits romance readers who want forced proximity, sharp chemistry, and a fake arrangement that is obviously not staying fake for long.

What starts with wedding chaos and sarcastic banter turns into something far messier: real feelings, impossible timing, and one secret that could change everything.
The Friend Zone
Romance · RomCom
Our take
What starts with wedding chaos and sarcastic banter turns into something far messier: real feelings, impossible timing, and one secret that could change everything. In The Friend Zone, Kristen and Josh have the kind of chemistry that makes staying casual completely unrealistic, but Kristen knows wanting him and choosing him are not the same thing. Funny, tender, and more emotional than its rom-com setup might suggest, this is a love story that mixes laughs with some very real heartbreak.

A seaside town with too many bodies and two killers with very different agendas make for a romance that was never going to be normal.

About the book
“The undisputed queen of dark rom-coms is back with a new swoony, one-of-a-kind banger, and the book world better get ready for it!” —Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes a wickedly delicious new series where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense—and where falling in love can be a killer.
Welcome to Cape Carnage! Visit Once, Stay Forever.
You can hide in the farthest reaches of the deepest hell, and I will still drag you out. Even the devil can’t save you from me.
Cape Carnage is a seaside town of colorful houses, quirky shops, and an unusually high body count. With tourists comes trouble, and Harper Starling won’t let anyone ruin her picture-perfect home. A skilled gardener with killer instincts, Harper protects her sanctuary—and her aging mentor with a fading memory—at any cost. Troublesome tourists don’t check out of Carnage. They compost beneath Harper’s award-winning flowerbeds.
But Nolan Rhodes isn’t your average tourist. Devilishly handsome, disarmingly charming, and skilled with a blade, Nolan is relentless in the pursuit of revenge. On every anniversary of the hit-and-run accident that fractured his life, Nolan slays another target. And he’s saved the best for last: the undeniably beautiful Harper Starling. The problem? Harper isn’t the monster he expected. And she won’t go down without a fight.
When an amateur true crime investigator comes to Cape Carnage on the trail of a long-lost serial killer, Harper and Nolan strike an uneasy truce. If Nolan helps Harper protect her town, she’ll keep quiet about his hunting habits . . . for now. But their alliance soon spirals into obsession, one that threatens to shatter every secret in Carnage—including their fragile love.
Tourist Season is a darkly funny, slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance where destruction and desire are balanced on the edge of a blade—and where love is the most dangerous battleground of all.
