"Sadie Simoneaux is finally living her dream of opening a bookstore in her hometown. Equal parts childhood fantasy and a much-needed exit from the hustle culture of tech startups, Sadie has the passion, the plan, and the perfect historic building. All she needs is someone to renovate it.
Peyton Broussard is Sadie's high school friend and friendly rival, and the town's only contractor. Rehabbing one of Duchesne's oldest buildings is a dream job. Helping Sadie reno the apartment upstairs on a shoestring budget isn't so bad either. But for once, Peyton's the expert and Sadie's the one asking for help.
Their competitive banter and long hours quickly turn their professional relationship personal until developers offer Sadie a fast exit and a fat check. If she cashes in, what happens to the love she's just starting to build?"
"After years of hard work, Hudson Greene is keen to launch her tenure-track career at the illustrious Coteau College. But her first day takes an unexpected turn when she walks into new faculty orientation and discovers that Callie Shaw—her unforgettable one-night stand from the local Pride festival—is also the dean of advising.
Callie loves guiding students through the chaos of academia, even if it means dealing with clueless professors. She goes with the flow, and her covert Shit Professors Say social media account provides an outlet for chronicling faculty missteps. Dating one, though? Definitely not on her syllabus.
Mutual attraction proves hard to resist, and technically there's no rule against faculty-staff relationships. But between campus politics and Callie's secret, policy might be the least of their problems. Can Hudson and Callie navigate office hours and off-the-clock romance, or will their shot at love turn into an epic fail?"
"Rocky Springs is the last place Kit Hartman wants to be. But when the home renovation show that was supposed to be her big break gets canceled, she has no choice but to return to the sleepy little mountain town and take a job in the family business. The only good news is that she finally has time to adopt a dog.
Olive might be a perfect dog someday. For now, she's a naughty handful. And when she knocks down an attractive stranger at the dog park, Kit realizes she's in over her head. Especially since the stranger is someone she recognizes.
Shawn McCoy never expected to run into Kit at the dog park, let alone offer to help train her dog. But helping everyone in Rocky Springs is what Shawn does best—and keeping busy means there's no time to think about a life or an identity that breaks the mold.
For two people who don't think life in Rocky Springs will ever change, this holiday season might be one that changes everything."
"Sure, lesbians love to bring a U-Haul on the second date. But what happens when the U-Haul crashes?
For Amelia Stone, it's a literal question as much as a figurative one. When plans to move in with her girlfriend go sideways, she's left with more questions about their future than answers. It doesn't help that she's spending far more time with the paramedic who came to her rescue than the woman she's supposed to be in love with.
When Finn Douglas responds to a routine traffic accident, the last thing she's looking for is love. But something about Amelia pulls her in. The more time they spend together, the more it feels like Amelia might be the one. If only Amelia didn't have her life all planned out with a woman who isn't Finn.
Contains mature themes."
