"Danny Hall is terminally single.
That's not surprising, given that he lives in the tiny township of Goose Run, Virginia, and the only other gay guys he knows live with him in his grandma's house and are like brothers to him. It probably also doesn't help his dating prospects that he works at a gas station.
When a series of petty disputes with his awful neighbor escalates into a legal matter, Danny calls in a lawyer. But when Miller Clarke turns up on his doorstep, Danny finds himself chasing more than just legal advice.
Miller Clarke is used to dealing with minor claims and oddball cases. But tree law? That's a new one. He can't exactly be mad, though, not when his new client, Danny, is super cute and just Miller's type. But Miller only intends to stay in the area for long enough to gain some experience before establishing a real career in the city. He doesn't have time for a relationship, no matter how tempted he is. Miller's got big plans, and Danny Hall and Goose Run don't fit in with them.
You know what they say. The course of tree—true love never did run smooth.
Welcome to Goose Run, a small town full of quirky characters, big personalities, and unexpected romances. Just don't ask about the goose."
"One secret gay crush. One journey of self discovery. One epic road trip.
Matt Landers and Jacob Mercer have been ride or die best friends forever. But now, on the cusp of adulthood, it's all about to change. When summer is over, Jacob is going away to college and Matt will be stuck in Cape Charles, Virginia. Before that happens, they've got a plan for one more epic adventure—a road trip all the way across the country to California.
But if they want to borrow Jacob's dad's car, there are rules they have to follow:
- Keep your location tracking on.
- Check your tire pressure.
- Be back a week before school starts.
- Don't spend your college money.
- Check in every 24 hours.
There's nothing in the rules about arguing over road trip playlists, eating too many gas station snacks, or sleeping in the back of the car. There's also nothing about confessing your secret gay crush, falling for your best friend, and learning how to protect the heart of someone you love.
Summer might be short, but the things Matt and Jacob are going to learn about themselves will last a lifetime.
Contains a bonus story, 'Hallmark Doesn't Have a Card for That.'"

"To supplement his income while he's completing his degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—he'll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of ways.

In another lifetime, Ryan had it all. He was a child star in one of the biggest sitcoms on the planet. Now he’s an adult, unemployed, and a poster child for bad decisions.
