"First, she tampered with my pickle. Then, she got us both kicked off a cooking show.
Now, we're fake engaged. Sit back, friends, this is one crazy tale of treachery and pickle juice.
So, a few months back I created a new pickle. It's spicy. Like, fiery hot. It went viral in a big way. Then along comes Magnolia Boudreaux.
She's the daughter of a rival deli. She ends up a surprise guest on a cooking show I've booked, insisting her pickle is hotter. Then she shows up on another show. Then another. Our feud becomes legendary, until it nearly ruins both our delis.
So I do the only thing I can think of to fix the problem. I kiss her on national television. And to top it? We get engaged.
We've got the whole fake relationship down until she buys me a pickle cactus shaped like . . . well, I'm sure you can picture it.
And everything after that? I made sure that she's not faking a thing."
"A slow-burn friends-to-lovers story about coming home, healing old wounds, and realizing the love you've always needed has been right beside you all along.
After a betrayal that shattered her heart, Ellie Cassidy fled Faircloud, Texas, hoping time away would provide her the clarity she couldn't find in the confines of her small hometown. When the noise of the past finally quiets, she makes the hardest choice of all, to return.
Coming home means facing the whispers, the stares, and the weight of old wounds.
Faircloud has a way of testing her, and soon Ellie finds herself questioning everything all over again, especially her heart.
The only steady thing in her world? Logan Walker. Her childhood best friend. Her fiercest protector. The boy who's quietly loved her for years and the man she's never stopped leaning on.
Logan has always stood by Ellie, even when it meant standing in the shadows. But when she needs an escape, he offers her more than just a shoulder—he offers a road trip, a chance to breathe, and maybe something she never dared hope for, a new chance at love.
As miles pass and secrets unravel, Ellie and Logan discover that sometimes, the love you've been searching for has been beside you all along, and the path back home leads straight into the arms you've always belonged in."
"The contract said temporary. My heart missed that memo. No one escapes a hostile takeover quite like this!
Six years ago, in an effort to avoid an arranged marriage, I walked away from my ruthless father's business empire and built a new life as Eastshore Isle's top realtor. I thought I'd finally left the corporate world—and its power plays—behind. But when his business partner tracks me down, marriage is suddenly back on the table . . . and I'm the prize.
To dodge a legally binding nightmare, I turn to the kindest, most talented, most unfairly gorgeous orc I know. Tarkhan needs a mortgage to start his woodworking business. I need a husband on paper. The solution is simple: A contract marriage. One year and a day. No strings, no feelings, no problem.
Except Tarkhan isn't just easy to live with—he's impossible not to fall for.
And when my father's partner shows up to stake his claim, I realize I don't want a loophole marriage anymore. I want Tarkhan. No contracts, no expiration date—just forever.
Contains mature themes."
"Cherry Cross is not looking for love. Hell, she's not even looking for like. Not until she meets a man at the last place on earth she wants to be.
There's no way she can be with Daniel Jubilee. On paper, they're complete opposites.
She's your average girl. He's the oldest son of a billionaire. She works a regular nine-to-five. He's second in command of a large conglomerate. Not only that, but he's also her cousin's boss—the cousin she hates.
But from the moment their eyes lock and his fingers brush against hers, they cannot deny the electrical charge. So, they don't.
When one date turns into a weekend, and a weekend turns into every day, they find themselves not only head over heels for each other but completely unprepared for how fast and how hard they've fallen.
Between their differences, her double-crossing family members, and deep family secrets, can they turn this thing into forever?"
"You know what sucks? In today's world, there are hardworking people like me drowning under medical debt—F* cancer—and then there are guys with way too much money. Guys who treat cash like a weapon, who shouldn't get to be both rich and unfairly hot. Guys like Abydos.
When I finally land the personal chef position I've been desperate for, I figure working for one of these a-holes is going to be a nightmare. But for every scar I carry from surgery and survival, Abydos hides three of his own. He's a grumpy recluse who takes his anger out on everyone . . . except me.
Why me? I mean, I know my Coq au Vin is delicious, but the way he looks at me has nothing to do with food. I'm just 'the help.' But under that scarred, surly armor is a male I'd risk everything to care for, everything to touch. And maybe—just maybe—the coziness of an Eastshore autumn isn't the only thing heating up around here . . .
This feel-good, low-angst, high-heat cozy romance features the following tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, wounded billionaire boss, cheese as a love language, hurt/comfort, adorable small-town (of course), lots of humor, lots of heat!

"Just when I think I'm at the end of my rope, the universe sends a gorgeous, talented, and oh-so-caring nanny to rescue me. What's the catch?
Every morning I wake up and remind myself I was the one who decided to kick out my horrible ex, and it's my choice to raise my kids alone. This is less comforting than you might think when I'm knee-deep in deadlines, snotty noses, defiant preteens, and desperately in need of some help. I just never expected that help to come in the form of an absolutely delicious, seven-foot-tall, green monster . . . an orc who can make a killer pot roast, organize my junk drawer, and seems to understand exactly what each of the kids needs.
So what's the catch? The catch is that with this phenomenally tempting male living under my roof (did I mention what a good kisser he is?), I'm dangerously tempted to turn this relationship into something more than employer-nanny. I want Aswan, but I really don't want to screw up this dynamic. For the first time in a long while, I feel like my family is right where we should be.
But when my past shows up to haunt us, I realized exactly how much I need Aswan. In every way.

"In a town full of memories, two broken hearts find healing, hope, and a love worth coming home to.
Theo Matthews has always believed she’s better off alone.
Leaving Faircloud, Texas, behind was supposed to be her escape—a life filled with adventure and zero ties. But one fateful night changed everything. Now, she’s back in her hometown, rebuilding a life she never planned for, grappling with grief, and preparing to face the future on her own.
That is, until Rhodes Dunn walks into her world.
Rhodes knows heartbreak all too well. After losing everything that mattered, he hit rock bottom. But instead of giving up, he chose to rebuild—one day, one step at a time. When Theo returns to town, her strength and internal struggles mirror his own, drawing him in like nothing else ever has.
Neither expected to fall this hard, this fast.
Together, Theo and Rhodes embark on a heartfelt journey of healing, hope, and second chances. In a town that knows their secrets and a world that’s thrown them curveballs, can they learn to trust in love again?"
"I've been a single mom for sixteen years, and I know there's no place left in my life for fun. Right?
I grew up in the South, where there are three things you're never supposed to ask: A woman her age, a man his salary, and a single mother how the duck she's managing to juggle a job, a mortgage, and a teenage son who's suddenly become too big for his britches. I mean, where did my teensy little best bud go? Who is this bro who's so proud of his fledgling mustache and even fledgling-er biceps?
I realize exactly how much my son has changed when he sets me up with the hottest cop in town. This big city charmer is an incredibly shmexy orc who—for no discernable reason—seems to like me. What in the world could he see in an exhausted, overworked single mom like me? I'm ready to swear off men entirely, except . . . Simbel makes me laugh. And somehow, he makes life easier and more fun.
I've spent the last sixteen years protecting my heart and my baby, and 'having fun' is what changed my life sixteen years ago. But can I give into the temptation Simbel represents and trust him not to hurt either of us? Or do I stick with my safe but lonely life?

"It's finally happening! After years of scrimping and saving, I have finally launched my landscaping business from the back of my garden shop. Oh, don't get me wrong—I adore making floral arrangements, helping people figure out their soil's right pH, and sharing a million other gardening tips in my shop . . . but at long last, I've landed the coveted contract to landscape Eastshore Isle's community property, which means I am going to get paid to get really, really dirty!
. . . With real dirt. Under my nails, up to my elbows. I dunno what you were thinking.
Except . . . I'm kinda thinking the same thing when I bring on a new employee to help with this workload. He's my surly, scowling upstairs neighbor who's never wanted anything to do with me before, and it would be much easier to handle if he wasn't also hot enough to make me pant. Who knew I had a thing for snarly orcs?
But it turns out that Memnon is hiding a secret that will make my life so much easier . . . or ruin it. Because choosing between my dream and a chance to be with him is going to be impossible.

"I thought my one-night stand with a hot older guy was just a rebound, but it left me with a memento that could ruin my life . . . or perfect it?
My whole life, I've been the perfect daughter: perfect hair, perfect body, perfect grades, perfect career. Of course my mother would choose the perfect fiancé for me! Thank God I wised up in time and dumped the jerk, but maybe I shouldn't have jumped into bed with the first hottie who winked at me.
But how was I supposed to resist? Yeah, he's an orc, and he's muscled and tatted and definitely the take-charge kind of guy. Little did I realize, when I snuck out of his bed, that he'd left me with a present.
Now I'm pregnant and hiding from my mistakes with my sister on Eastshore Isle, worried that I've ruined my perfect life . . . and I come face-to-face with Giza again.
When fate—or more accurately, my meddling little sister—throw us together, I'm hard-pressed to maintain the I can do it all myself attitude I've kept up my entire life, especially with the way Giza is so desperate for the chance to know his child. And the more time I spend with him, the more I come to suspect . . . I don't always have to be perfect.
Contains mature themes."
