Marriage of convenience?
Gloves Off
Romance
Our take
Marriage of convenience? More like enemies-to-lovers with gloves off. In Stephanie Archer’s steamy, grumpy-sunshine hockey rom-com, Georgia must marry NHL enforcer Alexei Volkov to get her inheritance. He’s icy, infuriating… and suddenly irresistible.
Choose your retailer
About the book
She has to marry an NHL enforcer to get her inheritance. He needs a green card. Neither of them expected feelings to get involved.
Georgia Greene’s fake marriage to Alexei Volkov is strictly transactional: she gets her money, he gets citizenship. But the hockey world's grumpiest enforcer turns out to be a lot more than scowls and muscle. He sends her secret-message flowers. He shares his bed. He calls her “wife” like he means it.
Sure, they bicker nonstop. But between stolen glances, bunny cuddles, and tension that’s one kiss away from combustion, Georgia starts to wonder: is it still fake if she’s falling for him?
Gloves Off is a sizzling, slow-burn hockey rom-com from viral TikTok sensation Stephanie Archer—where enemies marry first, and hearts catch up later.

Fake ring.
The Real Thing
Romance
Our take
Fake ring. Real sparks. The Real Thing by Melissa Foster is a 4.4-star small-town romance about a sassy baker and the A-list actor who’s always had her heart. A fake engagement turns all too real in this sweet and steamy Sugar Lake kickoff.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He’s Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob. She’s the hometown baker he never forgot.
Willow Dalton has always known Zane Walker was trouble—handsome, cocky, and definitely not boyfriend material. But when the A-list actor proposes a fake engagement to clean up his playboy image, Willow agrees… because years ago, he gave her something real.
Now, their little PR stunt comes with a big diamond ring—and even bigger sparks. Zane thought he could fake his way through anything, but Willow’s sass, sweetness, and curves are making it dangerously hard to remember this is all pretend.
The Real Thing is the first irresistible book in the Sugar Lake series, a sweet and steamy small-town romance filled with laughs, heart, and a fake relationship that just might turn into forever.

About the book
From the author of The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School, two best bros fake an engagement–but will their friendship survive?
It’s about time roommates Alejandro and Kenny get married. Or at least, that’s what all their close friends and family think when they announce their engagement. The kicker? The two are faking their whole relationship so Alejandro can get a green card. But if Han was going to marry anyone, it would be his ride or die since second grade.
Han has never been able to put down roots, and the only one who truly breaks through his walls is Kenny. Sweet, sensitive Kenny is newly single, and what better distraction from his soul-sucking relationship than proposing marriage to Han? Kenny can’t think of anything more fun than spending his life with his best friend, even if it’s just for a piece of paper. But as Kenny keeps up the charade, he’s soon struggling to resist their sizzling chemistry.
The line between fact and fiction begins to blur the closer they get to their wedding date. With all eyes on Han and Kenny—including a meddling ex and immigration officers—will these two bros make it down the altar for real?

A hit songwriter with writer’s block.
Sounds Like Love
Romance
Our take
A hit songwriter with writer’s block. A mysterious voice in her head. One song they’re destined to finish together. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip comes a magical, emotional romance about music, connection, and healing. A Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2025.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A song is stuck in her head—and so is he.
Joni Lark is one of LA’s most sought-after songwriters. Except she can’t write a single word. Burned out and broken, she returns to her coastal hometown of Vienna Shores, hoping the familiar rhythm of The Revelry, her family’s music venue, will inspire her again.
Instead, she finds secrets, fading memories, and a haunting melody in her head... along with a voice that isn’t hers.
That voice belongs to a guarded, infuriatingly attractive musician who seems just as tangled in the melody—and in her mind—as she is. The only way to break their inexplicable connection? Write the song. Together.
This summer, magic and music collide in a lyrical, heart-tugging romance about fate, healing, and the invisible threads that pull us together.

She’s faking it on a summer book tour.
Slow Burn Summer
Romance
Our take
She’s faking it on a summer book tour. He’s hiding the biggest secret of all. Slow Burn Summer by Josie Silver is a warm, witty rom-com from the #1 NYT bestselling author of One Day in December. When pretending to be a romance author leads to real-life sparks, can they stick to the script?
Choose your retailer
About the book
She’s pretending to be a romance author. He’s trying not to fall for her anyway.
Kate Elliott needs a reset. Divorced, jobless, and running out of options, she’s stunned when a washed-up talent agent offers her the role of a lifetime—pretend to be the author of a swoon-worthy romance novel on a summer book tour. The catch? The real author won’t reveal their identity, not even to Kate.
Charlie Francisco has a secret, a manuscript, and one summer to save his agency. What he didn’t count on was Kate—funny, chaotic, and far too charming.
As the tour heats up, so do the sparks. But keeping the act going gets harder when pretending starts to feel real.
Slow Burn Summer is a witty, heartfelt rom-com about second chances, secret identities, and love that doesn’t follow the script.

About the book
A close proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance from NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her...
Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.
Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car.
I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.
An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.
But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.
One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked.
The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow.
A knockout.
A dream.
Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help.
Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have.
But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction.
The fire that leads to a kiss.
A kiss that has us falling into my bed.
The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.
Because monsters like me don’t deserve love.
Only Salem has a secret, too.
She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us…

Our take
A carefully constructed life begins to unravel when the past resurfaces wearing a different face. Wicked Beautiful follows Victoria Price, a polished New York success hiding an old identity, and Parker Maxwell, the man who once broke her heart without knowing it.

About the book
Life coach and best-selling author Victoria Price has it all: a successful career, fabulous friends, a fantastic penthouse in Manhattan. What she doesn’t have—and doesn’t want—is a husband. Fifteen years ago her high school flame broke her heart so badly she swore she’d never love again.
Drop-dead sexy restaurateur and infamous playboy Parker Maxwell has only three rules for the women he dates: no questions about his past, no expectations for the future, and no spending the night. When he meets Victoria, however, he’s willing to break his own rules if it means sating the explosive desire she arouses in him.
What he doesn’t know is that the alluring Victoria Price used to be the mousy Isabel Diaz, the girl he deflowered and dumped long ago.
Presented with a perfect opportunity for revenge, Victoria decides the game is on. But when her connection with Parker proves more than just skin deep, she has to make a choice: continue with her plan for payback, or risk her career, her reputation, and her heart by taking a second chance on love?

About the book
Also a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson!
Goodreads Choice Winner, Best Young Adult Fiction of 2019
In this #1 New York Times bestselling novel that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication—they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives.
Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Five feet apart. No exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella, she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly five feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

About the book
Yadriel is done waiting for acceptance. A trans boy in a traditional Latinx family of brujx, he's determined to prove he’s a real brujo, even if that means summoning a ghost on his own.
When his cousin dies under mysterious circumstances, Yadriel sets out to summon his spirit and release it properly. But the ghost he calls isn't his cousin, it’s Julian Diaz, the chaotic, charming bad boy from school who has no intention of going quietly into the afterlife.
Now Yadriel is stuck with Julian, who insists on solving his own murder first. What starts as a reluctant alliance turns into something deeper as Yadriel begins to question what he really wants: acceptance, identity, or something more heartbreakingly human.
How do you let go of someone you've only just begun to love?
