"A small town wedding brings firefighter Noah and architect Rachel together for the first time since their tragic break up, forcing them to learn to work together to save their town-perfect for fans of Farah Heron and Sajni Patel.
At age eighteen, Rachel Johnson left Service, West Virginia with a college acceptance letter, a broken heart, and a blueprint for a new life. Now the star architect is back, for two weeks, and not a second more, for her dad's wedding-and zero intention of rekindling old flames. But when she's roped into the town's redevelopment committee to bring much needed resources for the community, she finds herself face-to-face with the committee chair ... her ex, Noah Calvary.
Firefighter Noah volunteered for this assignment to further his career, not to work with Rachel. A born competitor, Noah isn't thrilled to share the spotlight with the woman who once left him in the dust, but to help the town, he figures he can play nice. And his success could clinch the promotion he's been angling for.
Rachel's got vision and a partnership at her firm on the line. Noah's got a promotion to protect. And every decision is a battle of wills. Their history is messy, but their chemistry is explosive. Between small-town politics, big-time rivalries, and sizzling glances, Noah and Rachel must decide if they're laying the foundation for professional disaster or finally building something real."
"Innovative concepts, tools, and playbooks for discovering, defining, and taking charge of new market categories, by two of the leaders of the category design movement.
The most exciting-and often most valuable-companies create, develop and win new categories of products or services. Examples range from the Zamboni company a century ago to OpenAI today. It also includes startups that you may not have heard of yet, but will as their categories take off.
Category creation and development should be the goal of any company that wants to make a difference. And the way to achieve that is through the discipline of strategic category design.
Kevin Maney helped introduce category design in the bestseller Play Bigger. Now, he and Mike Damphousse-an experienced CEO, investor, and marketing executive-share the secrets that they've learned over the past decade, plus new concepts and tools that help companies see and frame new categories. Their advisory firm has worked on strategic category design projects with more than fifty companies and guided workshops for hundreds more at incubators and VC portfolio gatherings.
The Category Creation Formula reveals the processes they rely on and the truths about categories that they've uncovered, clearly laid out so any entrepreneur or leadership team can benefit from them, too.

"Agree to be on the Married in the Wild survival reality show? Check.
Collect a paycheck that's enough to help with my mom's medical bills? Check.
Get married? Um… Check?
Enter Bennett Forrester.
My best friend's older brother is gorgeous, a huge flirt, and always in the wrong place at the right time when it comes to catching me in my most humiliating moments. So I'm not surprised that he's there when my wedding falls apart just as the cameras are showing up.
I am surprised when he offers to marry me instead.
Now we're in the wilderness, challenging everything nature—and a ratings-hungry producer—throws at us, all while pretending to be madly in love for the cameras. Piece of cake. (What I wouldn't give for cake out here.)
Okay, this is the hardest thing I've ever done.
Especially with Bennett looking at me in a way he never has before. And his touch, lighting a fire in me I've never felt before. He has no idea what he's doing to me.
I just have to remember it's all for the cameras. He's completely off-limits.
I cannot fall for my husband.
Because this show is going to end eventually (one way or another), and I won't let my heart be broken again.
Charlie and Her Sweet Escape is a closed-door, best friend's older brother, marriage of convenience romcom."
"He's allergic to Christmas. I'm practically made of tinsel. What could go wrong?
I'm not saying Gage Lockett is the actual Grinch… but if someone in town woke up tomorrow to find all the candy canes missing, my money's on him.
The man glares at twinkle lights like they personally insulted his mother.
So when he accidentally reads my holiday bucket list—complete with 'Kiss under the mistletoe' and 'Make snow angels'—I hatch a plan. I thought he'd toss it in the trash where joy goes to die. Surprisingly, he decides to tag along.
Now my friends and I are dragging Waterford's grumpiest bachelor to every holly-jolly event from ugly-sweater tree lighting to the sleigh race, and I swear I catch him almost smiling once. I'm not saying drawing out another one of those smiles made it onto my holiday list—not officially, anyway.
When Gage volunteers for the town's Secret Santa fundraiser, I start seeing the man beneath the scowl. Maybe the one thing missing from my holiday list is… him.
Date Yourself a Grinch is a cozy, closed-door, laugh-out-loud, small-town holiday romcom full of heart, humor, and just enough mistletoe to make even a Grinch believe in love. This story is a part of the Have Yourself a Merry Little Romance holiday trilogy."
"She's not feeling the holiday spirit. Maybe all she needs is to rent herself an elf.
It's Christmas, and I should be full of cheer, but I'm having a hard time mustering the holiday spirit. That was always Grams' role. She loved Christmas so much that she talked my parents into naming me Noelle. Yeah, Noelle Furst. Picture the boys in elementary school having a heyday with my name. But I didn't care. I knew Gram picked it for me, and I wore it proudly.
When Grams passed two years ago, she left me this house. I'm a lot of things, but a handywoman isn't one of them. And there's a ton of work to be done.
My big plan? Ignore Christmas this year. In only one month, I can move into a new year and put my painful memories back in a box along with all the decorations. But my friends have other ideas.
When I open my front door and look up, there's a very muscular, very not-an-elf looking man in a Santa hat smiling a stocking-curling smile at me. He's holding a toolbox.
He says, 'Hi, I'm your elf,' and with those four short words, I'm rethinking my whole stance on this holiday.
Rent Yourself an Elf is a closed-door, fake-dating romcom novella. It's just the quick, sweet listen you need during your holidays."
"U.S. Marshal Morgan 'Morg' Fraser has spent a lifetime walking the hard line between justice and survival.
Now sixty, and with his days on the trail numbered, Morg wants nothing more than to fade quietly into the Nebraska Sandhills he's always known. But when he's unexpectedly tasked with caring for his 12-year-old son, Andy—a boy he's barely seen since the end of a broken marriage—Morg realizes that some trails don't end quietly.
Old grudges run deep, and there are those who would see Morg buried before they let him ride off into the sunset. When his enemies strike not just at him, but at the people he loves, Morg is forced to face a reckoning years in the making.
From the bestselling author of Coldsmith and Old Dogs comes a gripping new western novel, Dismal Trail!
Full of grit, heart, and the quiet strength that fans have come to cherish, Dismal Trail is Ron Schwab at his finest—a poignant western about legacy, fatherhood, and the cost of doing what's right, no matter the age or the odds."
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a hockey player in possession of a bad reputation must be in want of a fake girlfriend.
Rosie Forrester is in desperate need of cash after an embarrassing run-in with the law. Enter Dylan Savage, a disgraced hockey player who needs a place to hide out for a few months while he figures out how to get back on his team.
He's every bit as beastly as his fans' nickname for him would imply—nothing like the handsome, charming bookstore owner Rosie's in love with from afar. But Dylan's rent will not only save her art studio, it'll help fund the secret she's keeping from her three older brothers.
When Rosie proposes a deal to help Dylan improve his image if he can help her finally catch the eye of the bookstore owner, he reluctantly agrees. But nothing in their plan is going as expected, and pretty soon it's not just her studio she's worried about losing, it's her heart.
Rosie and The Beast Next Door is for those who love Jane Austen, forced proximity, banter, hockey players, fake dating, and happily ever afters!"
"Getting stuck in an old cabin is not my idea of a great winter vacation. Getting stuck with Carson makes me wonder what I did to end up on Santa's naughty list.
My friend Noelle talked me into going on a group vacation with our friends. Then she sprung the news that her boyfriend is joining us... with his friends.
I've met these guys. You know that ape man on the insurance commercials? Gage, Mitch, and Carson make that missing link look sophisticated.
I'll be fine. I brought my Kindle, and we'll be hitting the slopes. I'll barely notice Carson and his abs—wait, he has abs?
Carson's definitely a 'man's man'—all grunts and banging the chest while watching sports games with his bros. He's not my type. Not at all.
When Carson and I are assigned to run into town to get supplies together, I experience a whole other side of him.
And now I'm completely questioning my first impression."
