"Protected by desire, hunted by danger—will love be enough to keep them safe?
Aubree Ryan is living her dream as the proud owner of Slice Slice Baby, the quirkiest pizza joint in town. But when mysterious threats start piling up and sabotage threatens to topple her beloved shop, she needs more than just extra pepperoni to fix the problem. Meet Boone Porter—a brooding, no-nonsense security specialist with a love for the great outdoors and a talent for making bad guys disappear.
Aubree expected a bodyguard, but she didn't expect Boone to whisk her away to his secluded cabin in the mountains for 'safety.' Now, she's swapping pizza dough for campfires, bears, and one very gruff mountain man who, despite his best efforts, can't hide that spark of attraction between them.
As Boone tries to shield her from the danger lurking in the shadows, Aubree finds herself wondering: Is the biggest threat her business . . . or her growing feelings for Boone?
In this laugh-out-loud romcom, get ready for mountain escapes, pizza disasters, and a slow-burn romance that's hotter than a wood-fired oven!

The only problem is, Fraser and I share a history. He was my high school crush . . . until he left without even saying goodbye. But that was seven years ago, and I am completely, one thousand percent, over it.
One fake date with Fraser? No problem. I can handle that. Until one date turns into me being his fake girlfriend.
The more time we spend together, the more I catch glimpses of the Fraser I knew back in high school. Under his gruff exterior, he's kind. Protective. Encouraging. He's also got the most intense blue eyes and cutest smile I've ever seen.
And yep, okay, my crush is back with a vengeance. Only this time, it doesn't feel so one-sided. Fraser buys me my favorite flowers. He flies across the country just to check in on me. And when he gazes into my eyes, there's something simmering between us I can't deny.
But will Fraser leave again, or can our fake relationship turn into something real?

"For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.
That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.

It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean."
