"After rocketing to pop stardom practically overnight, all Marceline wants is a calm holiday at home. What she gets is a run-in with her bad-boy high-school crush, Lucas. Could this Ghost of Christmas Past also become her new muse?
When Marceline Freeze went to Juilliard to study violin, she didn’t expect it to lead to a Best New Artist Grammy. Now, after a whirlwind tour and early-onset fame fatigue, she’s looking forward to a normal Christmas in her snowy North Carolina hometown. But all bets are off the second she walks into My Place, the coffee shop that was her refuge growing up. It’s gotten an infuriating Scandi-chic makeover courtesy of its new owner: Lucas North, the rebellious firestarter she worshipped from afar as a teenager."
"My teammate Rookie laid down three rules when I moved into his place: don't touch his stuff, don't touch his food, and don't touch his sister.
Two out of three should be easy enough.
In my defense, I didn't know the gorgeous woman at the airport was Ella. The last time I saw Rookie's kid sister, she had braces and a grudge against me for hogging the backseat of her parents' car. She's not a kid anymore.
She's a curvy, sharp-tongued nurse who just moved to town, and apparently Rookie offered to let her stay with us. He forgot to mention we don't have a spare room.
Now she's sleeping in my bed because I offered to take the couch. At least I'm that much of a gentleman. She's saving lives and studying for some huge test while I try to remember how to be a professional hockey player instead of ogling the hottest woman in Pittsburgh.
Ella also asked me for a favor I can't stop thinking about. The kind of favor that would end my friendship with her brother and probably get me traded.
I should say no. I should keep my distance. I should focus on the season and stop noticing the way she wears the heck out of those scrub pants. Or the sounds she makes when she eats her brother's leftovers. Or the way my sheets smell like her hair.
Yeah. I'm in trouble.
I told myself I'd help her out and keep it casual. That I'd be the good guy, the fun roommate, the friend who keeps his hands to himself.
But Ella sees right through the party-boy act to the man underneath. And that man is falling so hard he can't see the ice anymore."
"Flynn Morley has spent his life getting by with as little as possible. No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a “muse” for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would.
Then he meets June.
June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life.
As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she’s carrying secrets of her own.
When June’s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he’s always sworn he’d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can’t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home."
"Of course, I said yes when Hannah Bell asked me to help her save the library. I say yes to everything.
After an accident destroyed my career as a rodeo cowboy, the only things on my schedule were brawling, drinking, and bedding, so it wasn't like I didn't have the time.
Now, I have regrets. Because the nerdy little librarian drives me crazy. She has five cats. Five. Her nose is buried so deep in her romance books that she can't see me standing right in front of her. And those long skirts and baggy sweaters leave far too much to the imagination.
The thing is, though, I have a very good imagination. And I'm desperate to see if the reality is even better.
But Hannah's past left scars on her heart as thick and raw as the scars on my body. Physical intimacy is a problem for her—and she thinks I can teach her the solution. So of course I say yes to that, too, even though I know it means risking a heart as shattered as my leg.
She says it's just physical, but I have one more lesson to teach her, if she would only let me.
Wild cowboys can't be tamed.
Except by love.
A steamy, small-town, cowboy romance by bestselling author Elizabeth Bright."
"A romance inspired by TS 'Fortnight'
I was hers, but she was never mine.
Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap.
But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.
Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Murphy Paddon had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Alice, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically.
Murphy doesn’t know if Alice remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning?"
"I have no business falling in love with Emmett Foster.
The man is an incredibly wealthy professional baseball player who’s ten years older than me and has a daughter.
But when he hires me to take care of said daughter, I find myself catching feelings for the star pitcher.
He’s gruff, but sweet, and has a big heart that he shows in small pieces. Pieces I’d like to collect and call mine.
Unfortunately, he has no plans on marrying again after his ex-wife cheated on him, then abandoned him and June.
So even though I think there’s a hint of chemistry between us, nothing will ever come of it. I’ll be stuck crushing on him in silence until we part ways.
The Double Play is a grumpy/sunshine romcom for fans of sweet sports romance. It has all the sizzling chemistry you love, without any of the explicit scenes. Check out the fourth book in the More Than a Game series, an interconnected standalone series based around four men in four different sports."
"I'm Luna Josling, owner of Sweet Water's most popular clothing boutique and known as an all-around shy artist. And after I catch my long-term boyfriend cheating on me in a totally humiliating way, I'm more than ready to escape my small town for a while.
Who better to do that with than my best friend, Brad Washbrook? The only catch? I have to pretend to be his fiancé for two weeks while he attends a retreat for a prospective company partnership. It should be easy, right?
Wrong. Brad has always been amazing to me, but now that I'm single, I'm noticing him in entirely new ways. And when we're forced to share a bed, I can't help but wonder what would happen if I spanned the distance between us and finally find out what it's like to kiss him.
The longer we pretend to be engaged, the harder it is to deny the very real feelings growing between us. He's everything I never knew I needed, and soon I can't tell what's real and what's fake, but it all feels way too good to question.
Just when I think Brad and I are on the same page, my ex shows up and threatens to ruin everything.
And if I can't set things right, I'll lose the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Contains mature themes."
