"Elsie Jennings thought she had it all figured out.
A ballet career. A husband who adored her. A future that felt certain. But after a devastating injury ends her time on stage—and a miscarriage shatters something even deeper—Elsie pushes everyone away, including Beau, the man she’s loved since she was sixteen. Believing she needs space to heal, she asks him to leave.
Months later, back in her small Montana hometown, Elsie is trying to rebuild. She’s traded performances for teaching at the local studio, and solitude for something like stability. But one night with Beau changes everything—again. When she discovers she’s pregnant, she’s forced to confront everything she’s been avoiding.
Beau Jennings never stopped loving Elsie.
He gave her the space she asked for, but he never gave up. Now that he knows about the baby, he’s ready to step back in—with patience, loyalty, and the kind of steady love that never wavered.
As the two navigate old wounds and uncertain futures, they’ll have to learn how to move forward—not by returning to who they once were, but by becoming something new together. Because love like theirs isn’t easy—but they both know this isn’t their first rodeo."
"Finley Blankenship is tired of always coming up short. When her long-time boyfriend dumps her because he isn’t ready to commit, only to announce his engagement to someone else months later, she’s had it. So when her now ex comes to her flower shop to check how she’s doing after hearing the news, she lies and tells him she’s moved on. Only for her brother’s best friend to walk in at the same time and get roped into her story. Committed to playing the part, she reluctantly agrees to pretend to be in a relationship with the one man in their small town that would never actually date her.
Grey Sutton has been in love with Finley for fifteen years, but he’s never thought he had a chance. After all, he’s an honorary member of the Blankenship family because his own is so dysfunctional. He has no idea how to give Finley what she wants. Especially since he was offered a job out of state, and Finley is as rooted in this town as the trees.
But as their relationship starts to feel less and less like a charade, it leaves them with more uncertainty than ever. Lines start to blur, and Grey and Finley have to decide if they’re willing to risk their hearts to have everything they’ve ever dreamed of."
"Hazel Lane is ready to date again.
After finding her boyfriend cheating on her a year ago and thus severing her last ties to LA, she moved across the country to be closer to friends and family. While she pieced her life back together, dating was the furthest thing from her mind. But now she's ready to jump back into the shark-infested dating world again. And to avoid bad dates with men who think Crocs are acceptable footwear or guys who like to talk about their exes a little too much, she has a plan. She's going to ask her best friend, Alex, to set her up on blind dates, and she will return the favor.
Alex Bates is in love with his best friend.
When Hazel moved to Nashville last year, he was more than happy to wait on her while she worked through her breakup. He just thought that when she was ready to date again, she'd see who was right in front of her. And yes, she did see him—as the solution to finding her soulmate. Hazel may have a plan, but Alex does too. His goal isn't to find his one true love during this experiment, it's to convince Hazel that hers has always been there waiting."
"Wren Daniels is in over her head. Between organizing a charity auction and trying to renovate a cabin she can’t afford, she’s barely keeping her head above water. The only bright spot is her new friend she met on an anonymous dating app four months ago. That is, until she discovers he’s the last person she would have expected—her grumpy neighbor who she’s never gotten along with. Holden Blankenship likes his life just the way it is. After his wife left him, he spent years putting his life back together. Now he’s got his daughter who is the light of his world, his family, and surprisingly, an anonymous friend. But when his anonymous friend turns out to be his neighbor who drives him crazy, he’s not sure what to make of it. Especially when her contractor backs out of her cabin renovation project and he finds himself offering to help her. Now Wren is getting under his skin in a completely different way and turning all his carefully laid plans upside down. As Wren continues to show up for Holden and Holden keeps proving to Wren that he’s not really as standoffish as he seems, the lines between friendship and more start to blur."
"Lo Summers's life is falling apart.
In a matter of weeks, she's lost her job and her home. To top it all off, she has a chronic illness and no health insurance. Then a photo of Lo looking cozy with her friend, Weston King, a famous YouTube star, goes viral, and it forces them to confront a past they tucked away a long time ago.
Weston King is ready to start over.
When he moved to California six years ago, he thought it would change the trajectory of his career. And it did, but in the past few months, thanks to some bad press, he's felt hollow. There's been something missing, and Wes knows exactly who it is. He expects to have to beg Lo for another chance, but when the photo of them goes viral, it's like opportunity has been dropped in his lap. Convincing Lo to date him is daunting, but convincing her to marry him for health insurance and a place to crash? That might be easier.
Falling hard again seems inevitable, but their friendship barely survived the wreckage last time. Trying again could end in disaster, or . . . it could be the best thing to happen to either of them.
Should they just go with it?"
"Ellie Bates is in big trouble.
When her parents, the owners of the apartment complex she manages, tell her she's on her last strike, Ellie knows she can't break any more rules or risk getting fired. She needs to tread very, very carefully or chance falling straight through this thin ice beneath her feet.
That's easier said than done when Camden Lane moves into her complex and starts flipping her world upside down. But dating residents is off-limits and getting close to him is a rule she's not willing to break.
Camden Lane can't get Ellie out of his head.
He may be in town for work, but it's Ellie that his focus keeps drifting toward. Between his impending departure date and her parent's rules, he knows nothing can happen. Except, the more time they spend together, the harder and harder it gets to resist the pull they feel toward each other.
When the lines between them start to blur, Camden and Ellie have to decide where their priorities lie. Is what they have worth what's at stake?"
