"Keira
What do you do when your NHL superstar ex skates back into your small town? Drop to the ground and hide behind the bleachers, hoping he doesn't see you. But Lady Luck must be in a bad mood today because Dan spots me, my hood over my eyes, pretending I'm not there.
Mature? No. Necessary? Oh, yes.
Humiliation washes over me, and the wall around my heart stands firm. Dan might be back, but I can't afford to let him in again. Not after the heartbreak of losing him once before. When he offers to coach my nephew, I reluctantly agree. Every smile he flashes at me, every kind word, threatens to crack my resolve. But I can't go through that again. I have to protect my heart.
Dan
I want Keira back. End of story.

"Note to self: Next time I need a big story, maybe don't pick a fight with a hot hockey player dressed as Santa. Especially if he's hiding something . . .
Holly: My assignment to cover the Chicago Blizzard's Christmas charity events turns unexpectedly into a viral feud with star defenseman Harrison Clarke—in a Santa suit.
It gets weirder. Heard of fake dating? This has now become fake hating, and our staged fights are heating up the media—and with it our unexpected romantic connection. But with my daughter, Macy, my career aspirations, and Harrison's mysterious past in play, this holiday romance might be over before it begins.
Harrison: Playing Santa was supposed to help grease the decision-making wheels and land me the captain's 'C.' Instead, it reunites me with Holly Coleman—my high school crush turned single mom and journalist.
Our argument makes us America's favorite feuding duo, but real feelings begin to complicate the game. Holly sees beyond the hockey player, but my hidden past threatens everything.
This Christmas, I'm attempting the ultimate hat trick: clearing my name, proving I'm captain material, and winning the girl of my dreams."
"He needs a royal redemption arc. She needs to keep her distance. The public wants a story, preferably a romantic one.
I called him Ledonia's most eligible man-child in a headline. Now I'm living at his palace.
After my no-holds-barred exposé on Prince Maximilien goes viral, the royal family doesn't banish me—they hire me. Apparently, the King and Queen think damage control looks like me filming an exclusive behind-the-scenes series on their charming, cocky, scandal-prone son.
Prince Max isn't thrilled. In fact, he downright despises me. Which is fine. Because the feeling? Entirely mutual.
But the thing is, I didn't expect him to be smarter, deeper, and somehow even hotter in royal pajamas. And I definitely didn't expect to start falling for a man I've built a career out of publicly roasting.
There's just one problem: He has no idea who I really am.

"Being a princess means living by 1200+ rules—I've counted them all in my leather-bound journal—including Rule #124: 'No climbing trees' and Rule #592: 'A princess must never leave the palace without security detail.' So when I swap my tiara for a goth disguise and escape the palace for a grand adventure as 'Amy,' I'm breaking every royal protocol imaginable.
Hiding from paparazzi, I meet a gorgeous American stranger who's also on the run. Suddenly I'm making disastrous coffee at a pink café, sharing a lakeside mansion with 'Maverick'—aka Hollywood star Ethan Roberts—and developing feelings that make my heart perform gymnastics. Which was definitely not covered in my rule book.
Ethan's gotten into the habit of rescuing me—from online con artists, espresso machine explosions, and even breaking Rule #124 when I climbed a tree right to the top and promptly got stuck. But as our friendship blooms into something wonderfully more, our carefully constructed facades begin to crack, and our new relationship hangs in the balance.
Can a runaway princess and an actor hiding from fame find their happily-ever-after, or will duty force us back to our separate spotlight lives?
Contains mature themes."
"I've got 99 problems, and picking the wrong guy might be all of them.
I've always had my royal checklist: Attend the Husband Hunting Ball? Check. Find the perfect match for a princess like me? Check. Feel zero sparks with Mr. Right (aka Enzo Revera)? Sadly, double check.
But then I meet Marco, Enzo's charming and rugged brother. He's everything I shouldn't want, especially since I've planned my life to avoid the messiness of love.
When a twist of fate puts Marco at my side, I can't deny our chemistry, even if he's all wrong for a princess like me. Thrown together by royal duties and an ancient riddle, Marco and I embark on a crazy adventure that leads us to hidden clues.
As we unravel a secret that changes everything, I'm faced with a choice between duty and desire. Can I defy expectations and claim both the throne I’ve always wanted and my true love?
Contains mature themes."
"When a Texas gal punches a prince instead of curtsying, you know this isn't your grandmother's fairy tale.
Taking the bull by the horns is child's play compared to ruling Malveaux. Yet here I am, a Texas girl turned princess, swapping tacos for a tiara.
Then I meet Europe's most eligible bachelor, the irritatingly handsome Prince Alexander, and accidentally deck him instead of curtsying. Oops. I'd feel bad if he wasn't such a self-satisfied jerk.
Now, I'm racing against a royal clock that ticks with the urgency of a preening peacock, trying not to let down my newfound country or my own wild heart. Alexander? He's a walking contradiction, with a smirk that heats my blood and eyes that tell tales of a depth I didn't expect.
Decisions aren't exactly my rodeo, but this time, my choice could cost me my new crown—or lead to a love story that rewrites my happily ever after.
Will this Texas girl rise to the royal challenge, or is this one fairy tale destined to end with the slipper never found?
Contains mature themes."
"The two of us have been best friends forever. But it turns out, one of us is a phony.
Gabe and I are the dynamic duo of Hunter's Creek and have been ever since we were kids. My bestie is not only sweet and loyal, but he's totally hot in that flannel-wearing lumberjack way of his. Not that I see him like that.
Well, not since we kissed that one time back in high school.
Thank goodness we have each other, because life in a small town can bore the socks right off you. At least that was true until Hollywood showed up, bringing along hottie Joe Turner. Joe has my head turning so swiftly, I might just earn a degree in neck gymnastics.
But here's the thing: Gabe isn't exactly Joe's number one fan, and when your bestie doesn't like your romantic interest, it sure puts a dent in things.
As for the Hunter's Creek Ladies Committee, a squad of women with such fine-tuned meddling ways to make a soap opera jealous, they're convinced Gabe's harboring a secret crush on me.
Which is crazy. Everyone knows we're just friends. Aren't we?"
"All's fair in love and coffee wars—until my heart gets involved.
Moving back to my Washington hometown is tough, but having Oliver Langdon as my neighbor is a whole lot tougher. He's the big shot behind Steamy Coffee, the same chain that's making life hard for the café I'm running for my aunt right next door.
Sure, Oliver's got that tall, dark, and seriously-stop-being-so-handsome vibe going on. And yeah, I flirted with him before I knew he was my business rival. But chiseled jawlines aren't my kryptonite. He's the competition, plain and simple—even if things between us are heating up more than a cup of his fancy espresso.
Then he jumps in as my fake date to help me dodge my cheating ex, and suddenly my heart's not so sure he's just the enemy.
Will my head be able to keep things straight, or will I end up falling for the guy I'm supposed to beat in this crazy heart vs. head showdown?"
"If bad dates were an Olympic sport, I’d have a gold medal.

It’s simple. Only good guys allowed. No settling. And absolutely no heartbreak.
I’m not even looking for forever, just a nice, easy Happy For Now.
Which should be achievable… right? Except dating nice guys turns out to be a lot harder than expected. Because apparently, the dating pool is still full of weirdos, disasters, and walking red flags.
And then there’s Jason. My roommate, my friend, the guy who helps me vet dates, gives annoyingly good advice… and definitely doesn’t count.
Except the more I search for the perfect nice guy, the more I start to wonder if I’ve been overlooking the right one all along.
Because finding my Happy For Now has a funny way of turning into forever when the right one has been living in your spare room this whole time.

"The plan was simple: pretend to be in love. Do not actually fall in love.
When I kiss a stranger in the middle of Hunter’s Creek, it seems like the perfect solution to a temporary problem. Now Christopher Young—city guy, expensive suit, and completely out of place in my small town—is pretending to be my boyfriend, and the entire town is completely invested in our relationship.
Which would be fine, except for a few things:
He’s only in Hunter’s Creek for a short time.
I’m trying to save my aunt’s café.
And this fake dating is starting to feel a little too real.
Small towns have long memories, busybodies with excellent hearing, and a tendency to turn relationships into town-wide entertainment. Suddenly Christopher is coming to family dinners, helping out at the café, and looking at me like this might not be pretend after all.
This was supposed to be simple. It was not supposed to involve feelings. And I definitely wasn’t supposed to fall in love with my fake boyfriend.

"A reality TV dating show. A brooding British aristocrat. One very reluctant contestant.
The Hating Game meets The Bachelor with a Pride & Prejudice twist.
Emma Brady didn't sign up for Dating Mr. Darcy to find love. She signed up to save her struggling activewear business. The fact that the bachelor is a wealthy English lord playing the role of Jane Austen's most famous hero? That's just another reason to leave as quickly as possible.
Because Emma has absolutely no interest in falling for a man who's rich, ridiculously handsome, and far too serious for his own good.
Unfortunately, Sebastian Huntington-Ross is everything she didn't expect.
Beneath the polished manners, aristocratic title, and Mr. Darcy reputation is a man who challenges her at every turn—and makes her laugh when she least expects it.
As the competition heats up and the cameras keep rolling, Emma finds herself caught between what she came for and what her heart wants.
But on a reality dating show, happy endings aren't guaranteed. Especially when the entire world is watching.
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring:
✔ Reality TV dating show
✔ Pride & Prejudice vibes
✔ Opposites attract
✔ British aristocrat hero
✔ Slow-burn romance
✔ Fish-out-of-water heroine
✔ Witty banter
✔ Small-business heroine
✔ Feel-good happily ever after
Perfect for readers who love Sophie Kinsella, Meghan Quinn, and romantic comedies with British charm.

"If life gives you a second chance with the one that got away, should you take it?
Noah Grant was my first. He was the guy who went from childhood friend to teenage love. The guy I spent one heady, intoxicating summer with, only to have my heart snapped in two—not by him, but by me.
Fast forward twelve years and just when I think I’m finally over Noah, he’s back. Older, wiser, hotter.
Definitely hotter.
Work throws us together, and there’s no avoiding him, even if I wanted to. And I don’t want to avoid him, although I know I should.
But Noah’s hiding something. And if I let myself get close, could his secret break my heart all over again?
Never Fall for Your One that Got Away is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy rom com with a second-chance-love, a totally swoony guy, and sweet romance. As with all the books in the It’s Complicated series, this is a closed-door romance with some incredible kissing and all the feels. It is a full-length novel and can be listened to as a standalone story."
