"What happens when two exes find out their parents are dating?
When Reese and Dominic secretly dated and then broke up five years ago, they knew they’d have to see each other again. They were from the same small town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont. Their families still lived there. It was inevitable.
What Reese didn’t expect was to see Dominic across the table from her, being introduced as the son of her mother’s latest boyfriend.
Dom and Reese can be exes. They can be neighbors. They could even maybe someday be friends. What they cannot be is siblings.
But Reese’s mother has her eyes on the prize, and she’s not walking away without a ring on her finger. So even though part of Reese’s heart still hurts from the past they share, she and Dominic agree to team up and separate their parents.
Spying? A necessity. Sneaking around? Obviously. And sabotage? Well…never say never.
But the further apart they attempt to push their parents, the closer Reese and Dom get—until the lines between past and present begin to blur, and they find themselves with the stickiest conundrum of all: owning the truth of what really happened between them…and deciding if their love deserves a second chance."
"My love for Luca Slater is not unrequited. It's just…not requited yet.
Did I break into his house? Technically yes. And did I eavesdrop on that one tiny little conversation? Also yes. But I had good reasons!
Unfortunately, Luca does not agree. So while I fell for him at first sight, his opinion of me is dismally low, and it’s about to get lower. Because as of today, I am officially working at his office…as the new janitor.
Cleaning toilets isn’t sexy, and I am not cut out for sanitizer and scrub brushes. But I need this job--begged for this job, in fact--so I’m going to make the best of it.
When I see Luca is having some work problems of his own, however, and when I realize I might be just the person to help, I offer my services immediately. As the new branch manager, he needs help softening his image in order to win over his employees, and if there’s one thing I’m great at, it’s people skills.
If I can prove useful, maybe Luca will finally see me as a woman instead of a silly little girl. Maybe he’ll finally realize I’m the one he’s destined to be with forever.
So I’ll help Luca win over his employees, and while I’m at it, I’ll win him over, too. I’m going to do everything I can to make this man fall for me…
One mopped floor at a time."
"Once upon a time…I fell for my brother's best friend.
I'm not proud of myself, okay? But these things happen when you're young and impressionable. The point is, I got over it. I moved on.
Except now Felix Caine is back—back with his easy smile and sparkling eyes, and he’s making me an offer I (literally) can’t refuse. He needs help with a romantic article he’s writing, and he won’t take no for an answer.
The more time I spend with him, the more I remember all the reasons I fell for him before. But he’s not just my brother’s flirtatious friend this time. He’s my friend, too. And though he says he’ll never fall in love, I sometimes see his gaze linger with more than just friendship.
There's a spark between us that wasn't there before. And I don’t want to have any regrets in this relationship. But what’s a girl to do when the only way to follow her heart…is to give it away?"
"Lydia
I don’t have a diary, I have a pen pal: a Parisian girl named Noel who knows my deepest, darkest secrets. And now that I've finally graduated, it’s time to go meet her. Paris, here I come!
Except… something isn’t quite right in the City of Love. Because my first thought when I see Noel?
That’s not a girl.
Nope, apparently Noel is a guy. That’s right: a guy. An attractive guy, with tattoos and green eyes that seem to see right through me.
Who is this, and what on earth is going on?
Noel
I know how it sounds, but I’m not a creep. I just thought Lydia knew I was a guy. By the time I realized she didn’t, she’d already started opening up about school and bullies and whatnot. She needed a friend. So, yes—I let her think I was a girl. And frankly, I would do it again. I can’t make myself regret being there for her.
But now Lydia is here in Paris, and I’m realizing that my feelings for her might be more than just friendly. I’ll have to do everything in my power not to fall for her completely, because she deserves way better than me.
Too bad that’s easier said than done…
Note: This book deals with themes like bullying and (non-graphic) harassment, but not between the love interests."
"FIVE stolen rings, FOUR calling birds, THREE French kisses, TWO falling in love, and a Partridge in a pear tree…
Stella Partridge never expected to move back to her hometown. She never expected to be a house-sitter for the twelve days leading up to Christmas as a desperate bid to earn some extra money. And she definitely never expected to recognize the thief that breaks into the house she's watching: Jack Piorra, her childhood best friend, the one who turned cold and distant overnight and never told her why.
Jack insists there's something in this house that belongs to him. But Stella's not going down without a fight--not in house-sitting, and not in love. If only locking the windows and doors could keep Jack from stealing her heart…"
"One girl. One boy. One bargain…
Mina
Look, I’m no social butterfly. I don’t care what the extroverts say—talking to people is scary. I’d rather hang out with my books than actual human beings. Books don’t call you names or dump water over your head in the cafeteria.
But high school is almost over, and I’m realizing I have nothing to show for it but good grades. I need to come out of my shell if I want to get the attention of a certain football player, and I’m going to need help. My neighbor Cohen is the man for the job. Sure, his attractiveness makes me nervous, and yes, he smells obnoxiously good all the time, but it’s fine. I’ve got this.
I mean, probably.
I’ve probably got this.
Cohen
Mina’s got a thing for my buddy Jack. I’ve got a thing for getting into a good college. My plan is simple: I’ll help Mina get Jack’s attention if she’ll tutor me for the ACT. No big deal, right? But working with Mina isn’t going to be easy. Her social skills are iffy at best, and don’t get me started on her (lack of) flirting skills. It’s a good thing she makes me laugh, because we’re going to be spending a lot of time together…"
"Things you bring on a desert island...
- Sunscreen, obviously. Because these Irish freckles of mine will burn, baby, burn, and lobster red is not a great color on me.
- An extra dose of my seizure meds, just in case.
- A backpack full of snacks, including but not limited to a canteen of Dr. Pepper, a box of mini Christmas cookies, and granola bars-the gross crumbly kind, not the chocolate chip kind, because I'm trying to be healthy.
- Sunglasses, so that when I inevitably wind up staring at my brother's best friend-who I haven't seen in years-no one will be able to tell. I've been in love with him for years, but it would never work out; he lives on a literal island, while I'm still in grad school. It can't hurt to look, though, right?
- Also bug spray.
My packing list is all well and good for a quick port excursion as part of my family's Christmas cruise. But when the cruise ship leaves me behind, with only the contents of my bag and my brother's best friend to keep me company? Well, I've got problems-especially since I'm going to run out of medicine soon. And I don't think they make sunscreen strong enough to block the sparks that are growing between Beckett and me..."
"Phoenix Park is the man I fantasize about...hitting with my car, that is.
He's rich. He's sexy. He's the absolute worst. But after I fall prey to an internet scam and lose every last penny in my account (please don't ask), it's Phoenix who swoops in with an offer I can't refuse. I'll marry him for the summer so he can inherit the family company from his dying grandmother, and in return, he'll drop a hefty sum of money into my bank account.
Buy me a pair of sweatpants with GOLD DIGGER across the butt, because I'm just desperate enough to agree.
Our arrangement is only supposed to be for a few months, until Phoenix's poor grandmother passes. I can pretend for that long. I can stop insulting him long enough to force a few smiles and some lovey-dovey glances. But with every touch we share, with every kiss we fake, I find the walls around my heart beginning to crack--letting in feelings I'm not prepared for.
And when Phoenix's grandmother makes a miraculous recovery, leaving us stuck indefinitely in this charade of holy matrimony? That's when I know I'm really in trouble."
"Heidi Lucy has a secreta big one. A scary, dangerous, ugly one. Theres just one problem: thanks to a mysterious head wound, she cant seem to remember what that secret is. In order to regain her lost memories, Heidi sets out to retrace her stepsfollowed grudgingly by Soren, a faithful patron of her little bookshop and the less-than-thrilled recipient of the cryptic voicemail she cant remember leaving. But her journey gets derailed when one of Heidis customers drops dead in the middle of her shop, and it isnt long before both Heidi and Soren come under suspicion. Something fishy is going on in Sunshine Springs, and if they want to find the truth, theyre going to have to hunt for it themselves. Who killed the woman in Heidis bookshop?

"Juniper Bean has big plans for her writing career. Swoony kisses, sigh-inducing happily ever afters—she’s going to write them all. There’s just one problem: she can’t seem to stop killing off her main characters. After accepting that a genre change is in order, Juniper sets out to do some research. What’s the best way to carry a dead body? How exactly does one pick a lock? Juniper is going to find out—with the unwilling help of her new roommate, Aiden. But Juniper’s plans go haywire when she stumbles across an actual real-life dead body—and before she knows it, she and Aiden are thrust into the middle of a murder mystery that seems suspiciously tied to Juniper’s past. Who killed the girl in the woods? Can Juniper ever get the hang of mystery writing? And, perhaps the biggest question of all, why the heck does Aiden look so good in a tweed jacket?"
"Scarlett Do I want to move in with my ex-fiancé? No. But will it probably end up being a good thing? Also no. Because the truth is, I'm still in love with Jude Anthony. It doesn't matter that it's been years since we've spoken or that he was the one who walked out on me. It's hard to stay mad when I understand why he did what he did. But I need a place to stay, at least until I can find something new. So I'll keep my walls up, keep my distance, and everything will be fine. I'm sure Jude doesn't have feelings for me anymore, so there's nothing to worry about. My heart is perfectly safe. Right? Jude Wrong. Because I was stupid enough to walk away from you once; you'd better believe I'm not going to make the same mistake again."
"Maya Ellis: New mom. Retirement community member. Avoider of men. Am I single? Yes. Am I ready to mingle? Not even kind of—especially now that I have my son to think about. My dating track record speaks for itself, and it is not pretty. It's a good thing I accidentally moved into a retirement community where all the guys are thirty years older than me. But now the new complex manager—the young, attractive complex manager—has realized I'm not supposed to live here, and he's trying to kick me out. It doesn't help that he's my new neighbor or that I somehow end up pretending to be his girlfriend for his cousin's wedding. The man is insufferable. Good thing I have my anonymous online friend to keep me sane... Dex Anthony: Complex manager. Secret pen pal. Clark Kent lookalike. My job as the manager of a retirement community isn't what I thought it would be. I didn't expect the senior-citizen version of the black market, and I definitely didn't expect Maya Ellis, a young mom who somehow managed to skirt the community age requirements. Unfortunately, Maya is my best chance at avoiding my matchmaking mother. So she'll be my fake girlfriend for two days—then my life will go back to normal: working, doing puzzles in my sweats, and chatting with my mysterious internet pen pal. And I'll get Maya to move—because she's way too young to live here...even if I'm starting to like having her around. Please note: This book is about a new mother, so it deals with things like breastfeeding."
