"What if the honeymoon period of a relationship never had to end? In Aaron Tracy's captivating, new original audiobook, a brilliant but lovelorn psychology professor attempts to transform her heartbreak into a radical new way for people to date and fall in love.
After an unforeseen breakup shatters her perfectly ordered world, Professor Zoe Cuttriss hatches an audacious plan. She'll use science to try to solve the mystery behind love’s mysterious honeymoon period—that magical beginning stage of a relationship where euphoria abounds and everything in life is sweeter. If she succeeds, she’ll upend centuries of dating habits, plus avoid ever having her heart broken again.
Determined to “logic” her way into love and academic glory, Zoe turns her personal life into a series of experiments, and eventually ends up at the helm of a rogue dating consultancy with a revolving door of hopeful clients. But in matters of the heart, even the most meticulous scientist can't always predict chemistry.
As her love life and lab work collide, Zoe's quest to bottle those early warm and fuzzy feelings leads her to discover something—and someone—she never expected. The Honeymoon Period is an irresistible audio original where science meets serendipity, brimming with wit, warmth and razor-sharp observations on modern romance.

"I left Baker Oaks ten years ago and swore I'd never return. So, why on earth am I sitting in the front seat of Jake Clarke's truck? The guy whose heart I broke all those years ago, the man I considered the love of my life.
After a decade of successfully avoiding everything Jake, running into him at the airport was never part of the plan. And staying at his place? Definitely not in the cards. But when my job sent me—Allie Zabana—on a six-month assignment near Baker Oaks, I had no choice but to go.
It wouldn't be a problem if I hadn't left without a word ten years ago. All the old memories are coming back, along with a love I've tried to forget for so long—one that's threatening to claw its way to the surface, dragging with it all the secrets I've locked away.
After a moment of weakness and his hands on me again, there's no question about the chemistry we still share—it's the kind of passion that could reignite like wildfire if we aren't careful. But . . . he has no idea what really happened all those years ago, and I'm not sure he'd ever forgive me if he did.
Just when I think maybe the past will stay buried in the past, life hits me with a blitz I never saw coming."
"She’s built a life on control. He’s about to upend everything she’s tried to forget.
Rosie Nash makes sure everyone else’s chaos stays off-screen. As a runner for live TV, she counts seconds like other people breathe—staying calm, quiet, and invisible. That’s how she likes it. Because behind her composure is a secret she’s never shared, and a past she refuses to revisit.
Her one refuge? The Pink Coffee Shop. A sanctuary of cake, kindness, and two friends who offer warmth without pressure. But when a stranger is suddenly in her seat, Rosie’s quiet routine—and the protective shell she’s built—starts to crack.
He’s not going away. Her secret is unraveling. And the identity she’s clung to for years is slipping through her grasp.
As pressure builds and old wounds resurface, Rosie finds herself in the spotlight for the first time in years—with everything to lose, and maybe more to gain than she ever imagined.
The Pink Coffee Shop is a moving, emotionally layered novel about trauma, friendship, and the quiet power of choosing to begin again. It’s perfect for readers who love relatable heroines, heartfelt storytelling, and books that make you both laugh and cry."
"Jocelyn Martinez has been spending the last year working at a romance bookstore while she finishes her graduate degree. But with her graduation coming up, she's not sure what she's going to do with her life. She's been burned so many times by family, guys she's dated, and even friends that she isn't sure who to trust. It doesn't help that she swears she keeps seeing a man who might be her long-lost father. Her head is spinning, and she feels adrift. Can she even trust herself to figure out her next move?
Hutch Cromwell had everything he wanted. He had a perfect girlfriend, his dream career playing football, and an enormous home near his parents' farm. But when a tractor accident on the farm left him injured, his whole world came crashing down. He's now living in the city, working a job that pays his bills, and not trusting women enough to date.
Jocelyn and Hutch have flirted, talked for hours, and even given each other hugs during hard times. But when they end up sharing a guesthouse on a vacation, their hidden feelings come bubbling to the surface. The only question is: Can these two friends get over their trust issues and give each other a chance at romance?
Contains mature themes."
"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I slept with your daughter but I had no clue.
I swear, it was an innocent mistake! Well, okay, maybe it wasn.t so innocent . . . nor was it really a mistake, but I can explain! You see, I didn't plan on responding to the wrong-number text I received, but as a professional athlete, when someone calls me 'Daddy' and I know that I've never fathered any children, I'm inclined to say something.
My response leads to a purely textual relationship with a total stranger. Her name is Corri. She's friendly, kind, and has a great sense of humor. We can tell each other anything.
In fact, when I reveal my biggest personal secret she doesn't laugh at me or tell me to lose her number.
Even when I accidentally ask her for intimacy lessons one night—stupid thumbs—she still doesn't turn me away. She says yes! Her body is fire and her kiss is electric. Our time together is my new favorite thing.
But imagine my shock when I see her in public, alongside our coach, who introduces her as his daughter, Corrigan Hicks. Yep. That's right. I slept with the coach's daughter and I didn't even know it. Make it make sense.
And tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do now!"
"She (literally) fell for a hockey player. The world fell for the story.
Actress Chloe George has spent her career making audiences fall in love with her. Falling on the Met Gala steps, straight into the arms of hockey's broodiest bad boy, Axel Poteet, was admittedly off script. But when the photo goes viral and the internet declares them soulmates by sunrise, they spot an opportunity neither can afford to pass up. Her star has dimmed since a very public breakup, and she could use a boost to her image. He has reasons of his own for keeping the cameras pointed anywhere but at his game. A few staged dates and one flawless public romance could be exactly what they need to fix everything. What could go wrong? After all, faking love is literally Chloe's job.
Meanwhile, Chloe's sister and manager, Leah, is stuck running damage control alongside Axel's infuriatingly fit trainer, Owen--a man whose favorite food is broccoli, who has never sipped a Diet Coke, and who goes on five-mile runs for 'fun.' Who can trust someone like that? Leah has spent years protecting her sister's image and guarding a few secrets of her own, and she's not about to stop now. If tolerating the most aggravating man alive is what it takes to sell this fairy tale and save Chloe's career, so be it. All she has to do is trust her head and ignore whatever her heart keeps doing every time Owen walks into the room.
How to Fake a Meet-Cute serves up fake dating, a rogue kiss cam, sister banter, and two swoon-worthy romances--proof that the best love stories sometimes begin with a stumble."
"It's all part of the marketing game—fake hate—unless she falls for her ex again . . .
Hailey Moreno has many regrets about letting her family down since her father's death. But breaking up with her secret boyfriend years ago after his father underhandedly tried to buy her family's hot-air balloon business isn't one. The Selene family is her enemy until she's charged with creating a Central Oregon hot-air balloon festival. Now she needs her ex's cooperation and perhaps more.
Ryland Selene always had it bad for Hailey. She's the one who got away. When she reaches out with an opportunity, Ryland knows he should be cautious but he jumps in, determined to win a second chance with Hailey.
When Ryland proposes planning the festival together, Hailey's reluctant. Then she hits on what sounds like a fun scheme. Create a fake family feud for social media buzz. Too bad Ryland can't follow a script . . . and neither can her heart. But all the pretend drama allows them to be vulnerable and connect in a way they didn't before. Can faux hate turn to real love?"
"Her past came back to surprise her. But her past is now a flirty hot cowboy, so . . .
I wasn't sure why I gave up a week in the Bahamas with friends to visit my grandparents' home in Wyoming.
In January.
But one phone call to the ranch to check in was all it took.
It didn't matter that the worst storm to hit Wyoming in years was upon us. I needed to be there. I just didn't know why.
But a road closure and a surprise knock on the door brought back sweet memories from my past. And perhaps a handsome cowboy for my future.
And I can't help but think that the unexpected is often the best surprise of all."
