About the book
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER
A LibraryReads Pick
A hilarious love story about a disillusioned divorcée who agrees to let her children play matchmaker.
Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? Besides, she’d rather be single than subject herself to the hell of online dating. But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. In a desperate attempt to keep her job, Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children.
From awkward encounters to unexpected connections, Anna gamely begins to put herself out there, asking out waiters, the mailman, and even her celebrity crush. But when a romantic connection appears where she least expected it, will she be brave enough to take another chance on love?

About the book
Armed with comfy pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I prepare to face him.
Corporate boss.
Villain.
I step into his office. His perfect mouth twists into a sneer.
There is no heart of gold beneath that suit, just a big black pit. He’s a shark in the frothy waters of high-stakes finance.
He might be the quintessential asshole CEO, causing all in his path to quake in fear, but he’s never had to face down a Basic Beyotch in her thirties.
I am exactly like the other girls—I adore Starbucks, greige home decor, and making snarky jokes with my bestie. I’ve even inherited a stalker from an ill-advised singles party.
Yeah, the stalker is… a problem, one I’m hoping will just go away if I ignore it.
I can’t ignore him, though.
He’s all broad shoulders and snide comments, picking apart everything about me as he circles me, going for the kill.
He would never fire me, though. There’s no fun in that. He wants me to quit, to have a mental breakdown.
Well, he can get in line behind my crazy gold-digging sister, my guilt-tripping mother, and the aforementioned stalker.
He pins me with his gaze.
I brace myself, waiting for the verbal blow to come…
Instead, he says, “I need a date tonight, and unfortunately, it has to be you.”
This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, complete with smokin’ hot-but-morally gray heroes, a smidge of suspense, and of course the perfect happily ever after!

About the book
Two best friends + one fake relationship = big trouble
Everyone sees me as a brooding tattoo artist with a chip on my shoulder.
Everyone except my best friend Skye.
Smart. Sassy. Gorgeous.
A curvy bombshell.

It's platonic, I swear. Until she asks me to play her date at her cousin's wedding.
It's a simple ruse. A few lies to keep our families off our backs.
We pose for photos. Write a fake history. But when we kiss?
Our chemistry is real. And it's combustible.
A taste isn't enough. Platonic isn't enough. I want Skye as my everything.
But can I really risk losing my best friend?

About the book
In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.
On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.
Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.
Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.
Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.
As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

Forget Your Morals

Our take
Desire feels simple in the dark until the lights come on and everything changes.

Choose your retailer
About the book
He was supposed to be a stranger, someone on the other side of the wall who’s there to please me and me them. No matter how much I try, I can’t stop thinking about the man who can make my fantasies come to life in a way no one else has. Nothing could have prepared me for the reveal of my mystery man.
I was supposed to be working on myself, trying to figure out my identity outside of my family or a boyfriend. Which led me to explore my desires at the local club, Avalon. And what I found there was more than I bargained for.
He’s not just funny, attentive, and slightly obsessed with me. He’s also the last man I should be falling in love with.
I was on a mission to find out who I was, and I did, just in the arms of a man who is forbidden to me—Lincoln Carlson. I just hope we don’t destroy our families in the wake of our desire, because no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to stay away.
Forget Your Morals is an interconnected standalone with Swallow Your Pride being a linear timeline, these books can be read in either order.

Starting over in a small town was never part of her five-year plan.
Mistakes Were Made
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
Starting over in a small town was never part of her five-year plan. After her career implodes, literary agent Zoey Moody lands in rural Pennsylvania determined to rebuild, only to clash with her steady, marriage-minded landlord. When one reckless night shifts their fragile truce, Mistakes Were Made becomes a romantic comedy about second chances, mismatched goals, and the risks of wanting more than you planned.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt’s Creek redemption romcom.
He’s looking for the perfect wife. She’s looking for the perfect one-night stand.
Literary agent Zoey Moody has been exiled from the Manhattan publishing scene to small-town Pennsylvania with her best friend and only remaining client, romance novelist Hazel Hart. Zoey’s bank account is running on fumes, forcing her to liquidate her designer wardrobe to make ends meet.
But this plucky heroine has a plan to climb her way back on top. Nothing will stand in her way.
Okay. Nothing except her six-foot-two-inch blue-collar landlord, Gage Bishop. He’s smart, serious, and sexy. When he isn’t practicing law, he’s working with his equally attractive brothers in the family construction business. Worst of all, he’s ready to settle down.
Zoey might be the most beautiful, infuriating woman Gage has ever met, but her special brand of chaos makes it clear they’re all wrong for each other. She’s allergic to commitment and afraid of animals. He’s looking for a wife and lives in a literal barn. (For clarification, it’s a converted barn. But he does live there with a golden retriever who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space.)
These opposites can attract all they want. They both know it will never work out. For one, even if she wanted to, Zoey could never give him what he wants.
But when Gage’s world is rocked by a devastating family secret, he turns to Zoey for one night to forget everything. That one night just might change everything…or ruin it. Yeah. That’s more likely.

In Her Own League
Romance · Contemporary Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
In a league that doubts her every move, a new team owner cannot afford to lose control. Reese Remington steps into her role as the first female owner in Major League Baseball determined to prove she belongs, even as clashes with her field manager ignite unexpected tension. In Her Own League is a sports romance about ambition, scrutiny, and love that tests professional boundaries.
Choose your retailer
About the book
As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she’s more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man’s world—not the person who’s earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can’t afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss, let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours—and too many away games—side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese’s control, the heart behind her ambition, and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm’s length—for the sake of the team, the season, and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win.

Liberty’s just landed her dream job. The catch? It’s at Matcher, the dating app that ruined her life. After catching her boyfriend sending intimate pictures to everyone in a twenty mile radius, Liberty is struggling to get back into the dating game. Every man gives her the ick sooner or later.

But it turns out they’ve both got a lot to unpack, and Liberty still needs to complete her mission if she wants to keep her job - which means not breaking the one golden rule: do not fall for the boss!

Our take
Exile follows courage when telling the truth turns survival into a liability.

Choose your retailer
About the book
When you find something precious... You defend it with your life.
Eden
Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.
After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.
I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…
The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.
Linc
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.
Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.
Whistleblower is book 1 in the PALADIN Series. It is a spicy, touch her and die, morally gray alpha hero, romantic suspense intended for audiences 18+. Please check the trigger warnings prior to reading.
