"Madeline Sage has entirely lost who she is after her brother and best friend's passing. She's an aunt taking care of their two kids, a nursing student, and a part-time cleaner at a ski lodge. Spending a majority of her time helping someone else, she's astray from who she was before the accident. Her nagging mother, incapable of helping with the kids, insists the one thing missing from Madeline's hectic life is a man. So Madeline seeks help from the most chaotic one she knows: her nephew's coach. In hopes of easing her mother's nerves about providing for the kids, Madeline needs a boyfriend. Even if it's a fake one.
Unfortunately, Cooper Graves knows all too well what he is. In an attempt to rectify his disorderly past and save his family ski lodge, he agrees to be interviewed by a well-known family magazine. The article will bring the lodge plenty of new exposure on its upcoming winter events. All he's missing is a wife and kids.
Madeline needs a fake boyfriend. Cooper needs a fake family. Their newfound friendship quickly blurs into something entirely real. Only he's not fit for 'uncle-hood', and she can't find a place in her heart or her schedule to add one more person to her circle of loved ones. Snowed under their complications, Madeline and Cooper are destined to find out if love is enough to overcome tragedies of the past."
"It was one thing to work next door to your arch nemesis, it was a whole different ball game when you had to suddenly work with them. Winnifred Meadows knew two things for certain: 1. Chemistry and baking were meant to go together like icing on cupcakes. 2. Crew Wells was the absolute worst man in all of Philadelphia. Okay, maybe second worst. But when Winnie finds herself suddenly in a bind, relying on winning a food truck competition with a massive reward, she realizes she and her excellent baking alone can’t make an entree worthy of $5,000. Unfortunately for her, Crew Wells certainly can.
Crew knew cooking like the back of his hand. He'd grown a successful business and made himself a proud owner of one of the top savory food trucks in a three-hour radius. You would think that would be enough to impress his family, but it wasn't. However, winning a city wide food truck competition and claiming the number one title would have to be enough. Except, this title was only possible by serving the best entree and dessert. His only option? Relying on the one girl he would run miles away from.
When their ruse of partnership comes across as ingenuine, their only choice left is to pretend as if they were dating. After working together and a trip to Winifred's home town, these two begin to wonder if there is a fine line between love and hate."
"Wedding bells ring in this marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, light-hearted rom com full of heart, laughter, and sourdough starters.
After accidentally marrying her best friend on a last minute Vegas trip, Rachel decides that instead of getting an annulment, she and Adam could reap the benefits of marriage and play the system for his military benefits. This platonic, no-strings-attached marriage should, on paper, be easy. No problem. An incredibly attractive man putting a ring on her finger and bringing flowers home to her has no effect on her decision to keep this unattached. Except the more Adam plays into the doting husband role, the more Rachel is seeing a life with him as more of a reality than a dream. Her priorities lie with her job and taking care of her dad, but her marriage has potential to make all of that slip away.
Having Rachel as a wife made Adam's life almost perfect. Only there was a key piece missing in their marriage that he needed to share with her, despite it possibly driving her away entirely. Forced to overcome his fear of losing his closest friend, he is reminded that what happens in the dark must eventually come to the light."
"Sometimes history repeats itself, sometimes it rewrites itself entirely in this second chance, parent-trap-style romantic comedy.
Someone was playing a cruel joke on Marigold Wells. And she had a feeling she knew exactly who it was.

In an attempt to smooth things out between them, Liam tries his best to reconnect the friendship they had long ago. Only the more time they spend together, the more they realize they couldn’t keep down the old spark between them for long.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Marigold and Liam are forced to figure out if their relationship can flourish again, or will they burn out?"
"Nathan Huxley lives by two rules:
1. Say yes to as many things as possible.
2. Don't ever even think about going near his best friend's sister.

When her brother, Luke, offers her a marketing position at his bar and a room at his best friend's apartment, how could she say no? It would only be a few months, so what's the worst that could happen?
Except, the more time Nathan and Calla spend together, the more they realize how much they have in common. Through small touches, folding parties, bingeing TV, and cooking together, they manage to find themselves undeniably close to a forbidden relationship.
Desperate for help, Nathan and Calla seek guidance from their anonymous online pen pals, only to find out the world is much smaller than they think."
"June Hart is an affectionate and chatty first-grade teacher who comes from a family of money-hungry doctors. When June inherits her grandmother's 1920's farmhouse, she is compelled to remodel it, hoping to show her egotistical family she is capable of being more than an insubstantial teacher.
In the process, she finds herself spending a considerable amount of time with her hot and ill-tempered contractor, Grant Dawes.
Grant Dawes is a grouchy handyman who can seem to fix everything except his troubled past. His lack of family and friends leaves him to put all of his focus on restoring homes. That is until an eccentric and charismatic client pushes her way in to throw off his routines.

"Layla Wright fit in her role as admin at West Oak Publishing about as well as she would at a five star restaurant in her 'I love DILFS' T-shirt. When she applied to the job she thought she would be learning the ins and outs of the industry to eventually write and publish her own novel. But after years of staying in this same position, she's unsure of how to break out of her routine and chase her dreams.
Luke Wells knows the words 'friend zone' all too well. Staying in a dead-end position at a company he doesn't care for only has one bonus: Layla Wright.

When Luke finds out he's up for a promotion, he has to decide how far he's willing to go to stay close to Layla. With his own dreams of running a bar on the line, is Layla really worth sticking around for—especially when she's never indicated there will be anything more between them than friendship?
A seaside work conference is just what they need to shake things up and break them out of this tight bubble they've been living in for so long. Will they finally be brave enough to go for what they want or will they return home with everything between them unchanged? Boundaries get crossed, lines get blurred, and donuts get eaten."
