"She's ready to do whatever it takes to get the job of her dreams, even if it means working with a pile of adorably unruly pups--and the office grump-- in this charming contemporary rom-com perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and Sarah Adams.
Intern Holly King knows there are pros and cons to everything, including competing in her nonprofit's big fundraising competition.
The Pros:
- Winning means a full-time job at the new office in Scotland
- Scotland is thousands of miles away from her toxic ex-boyfriend
- Her pitch includes PUPPIES! Lots of 'em!
The only con? Working with Jonathan Summers. But if Holly wants her calendar of hot, outdoorsy guys and their dogs to win against everyone else's fundraising ideas, she'll need Jonathan's undeniable talent as a photographer…even if he is the office grump.
When their collaboration accidentally gets off to a steamy start, Holly vows she won't be distracted again. But as they scramble to shoot a year's worth of hunks and pups in just a couple of weeks, the spark between Holly and Jonathan can't be ignored.
With Holly's career dreams finally coming into focus, whatever's developing with Jonathan makes her wonder-could she be missing the bigger picture?

"The woman’s name blurs as tears spring into my eyes. I can’t believe my husband would betray me like this. But now he’s gone, she may be the only way to learn the truth about how he died…
Two years after my beloved Jonah was killed in a car accident, I retrace my steps to the romantic hotel we were staying in when his life was cut tragically short. The last thing I remember is the warmth of his hand in mine as we drove off through the pine trees toward our candlelit dinner. Then the beeping of monitors when I woke up alone in a hospital bed days later. What really happened that night?
But when I arrive at the hotel, a nervous-looking employee hands me my husband’s jacket. It still smells like him, and I discover something inside. A hastily scrawled note. Two words that turn my world upside down: call Gemma.
No one in Jonah’s life knows who Gemma could be. Flashes of an argument rush back to me painfully, and I feel myself fall apart. I remember his drunkenness, the sound of my own voice, heartbroken and betrayed. Did he use our anniversary to tell me he'd had an affair?
The truth will change everything I thought I knew about my marriage. Should I go home, and leave his secrets in the past? Or face the idea that I never really knew my husband at all?
Fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and The Last Thing He Told Me will be hooked by this unputdownable page-turner filled with shocking twists and tear-jerking secrets."

"Buscaba venganza, pero encontró amor a primer despecho.
Enamorarse es la máxima venganza en esta comedia romántica deliciosa y desenfadada sobre una diseñadora de interiores que se une a un enigmático arquitecto de su empresa para vengarse de su ex de la única forma que conoce: construyendo una casa de despecho al lado.
Dicen que vivir bien es la mejor venganza. Pero a veces, repartir la miseria parece mucho más satisfactorio. Esa es la justificación de la diseñadora de interiores Dani Porter para comprar el terreno vacío junto a la casa de su exprometido... la casa en la que se suponía que iban a vivir juntos, antes de que él la engañara con su agente inmobiliario. Dani planea construir una casa de alquiler vacacional que a) le fastidie la vista y la tranquilidad y b) demuestre que a ella no se la puede pisar. Bienvenido al proyecto La Casa del Despecho.
El plan se complica rápidamente cuando Dani se ve obligada a formar equipo con Wyatt Montego, el apuesto y altivo arquitecto de su empresa y la única persona disponible para elaborar los planos. Wyatt es lacónico y severo, el tipo de hombre que se come el sándwich con cuchillo y tenedor. Pero a medida que pasan tiempo juntos dentro y fuera de la empresa, Dani vislumbra algo más profundo bajo esa dura fachada, algo sorprendente, vulnerable y real. Y cuanto más se acerca a su objetivo, más se pregunta si conseguir su venganza podría significar perder algo infinitamente más dulce...

"High school teacher Kristin Caine has a black belt in settling for less and a dying mother who doesn't mince words when it comes to voicing how disappointed this makes her. But when Kristin's status quo is rocked by an unexpected pregnancy and the consequent breakup with her less-than-enthusiastic boyfriend, things change. Suddenly, agreeing to help her overbearing mother complete a bucket list before the big C wins seems not the worst thing in the world—despite their many differences and Kristin's fear of traveling.
But Kristin's sense of self-preservation is strong, and if not for the compassion of Lily Landon, a friendly airport stranger with a tissue to spare, the first leg of the trip might have been over before it even began. Lily is like no one Kristin has ever met—a globe-trotting photographer full of joie de vivre who is on a first-name basis with the flight crew—and in her presence, the impossible suddenly seems . . . possible.
As a journey of physical and emotional adventures, belated mother-daughter bonding, and unexpected romantic feelings for Lily ensues, Kristin must challenge preconceived notions of motherhood, love, and what it means to live life fully, one bucket-list checkmark at a time. Only if she succeeds will she be able to create a new future free of self-imposed limits, for herself and her unborn child."
"How do you ask forgiveness for the unforgivable?

As Annie sets out on this new, treacherous road, she stumbles into the path of Wic Dubray—the handsome but annoyingly honest woodworker who leases her a room. Not used to anyone caring for her, she finds his presence is both an unanticipated gift and a complication.
Annie must navigate old memories, hostile relatives, her wavering mental health, and a growing fondness for Wic. Only then will she have a chance to win back her children and her life and maybe find love."
"Falling in love is the ultimate payback in this delightful, breezy romcom about an interior designer who teams up with an enigmatic architect at her firm to get revenge on her ex the only way she knows how: by building a spite house next door
"Filled with sizzling chemistry and delicious revenge, Love at First Spite had me smiling from start to finish. This is one debut you don't want to miss!" -Kate Bromley, author of Talk Bookish to Me
They say living well is the best revenge. But sometimes, spreading the misery seems a whole lot more satisfying. That's interior designer Dani Porter's justification for buying the vacant lot next to her ex-fiancé's house…the house they were supposed to live in together, before he cheated on her with their Realtor. Dani plans to build a vacation rental that will a) mess with his view and his peace of mind and b) prove that Dani is not someone to be stepped on. Welcome to project Spite House.
That plan quickly becomes complicated when Dani is forced to team up with Wyatt Montego, the handsome, haughty architect at her firm, and the only person available to draw up blueprints. Wyatt is terse and stern, the kind of man who eats his sandwich with a knife and fork. But as they spend time together on- and off-site, Dani glimpses something deeper beneath that hard veneer, something surprising, vulnerable, and real. And the closer she gets to her goal, the more she wonders if winning revenge could mean losing something infinitely sweeter…
"Rollickingly, fast-paced… Fans of Emily Henry's tales will enjoy Collins' imaginative rom-com." -Booklist
"Wyatt is the perfect grumpy romance hero with a heart of gold. An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story that's sure to delight rom-com fans." -Kirkus Reviews"
