Gold Rush Ranch

He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits. After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give him a taste of something so electric―so real―something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again. But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him―the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak. To give in to their connection would be a betrayal. Griffin's life is beyond complicated, and Nadia has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and as sad as it sounds, he's also Griffin's only friend. But he kissed her again anyway.

Gold Rush Ranch

I’ve seen every square inch of Violet Eaton’s delectable body and she has no idea who I am. Until now. What happened between us online, in our chats, was meant to stay anonymous and in the past. Until it didn’t. It’s a small world, but Ruby Creek is even smaller. When I move to the tiny town, the grumpy facade I’ve created slips when we’re forced to live under the same roof. Every flush of her cheeks, every time her eyes flare with heat, every time she begs me not to stop, the ice I’ve encased myself in melts. She has me wanting things I can’t want. Things I’ve been dreaming about since I first laid eyes on her two years ago—things I don’t deserve. But my invisible wounds have the power to ruin us both. As a former soldier, I should have the discipline to walk away, but the more I open up to Violet, the more I want to keep her. I came back from the war a different man, but my scars are older and deeper than anyone knows—and I planned to keep it that way. I planned to keep my secrets hidden. Until her.

Starlight Grove

He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he'll wade back into the shadows. Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove―the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who'd sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won't stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth. She just didn't count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door. Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend―silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers' violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search. The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again. Only someone isn't happy that Brae has been digging, and they'll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He'll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark…

After a year of being the dance program’s most notorious punching bag, Ivy Di Laurentis only has one goal for sophomore year at Briar University: keep her head down, survive, and make her way to New York and the ballet career she walked away from. She has zero interest in hockey players, entanglements, or AJ Connelly―her brother’s former best friend, certified golden boy, and the last person she’d ever expect to find her crying on a roof at two in the morning. AJ has his own problems. His best friendships are in ruins, his hockey season is in turmoil, and his only plan is to drink through his feelings and hook up with anyone who isn’t emotionally complicated. Ivy, vulnerable and familiar, is nothing but emotionally complicated. Which means she’s off-limits. Except she’s also funny. Sweet. Achingly beautiful. And obsessed with somebody else. When she propositions him to gain experience, he doesn’t know how to say no. And maybe there’s something dangerously satisfying about hooking up with his ex-best friend’s little sister… What starts as an unlikely alliance becomes something neither of them was looking for. But with the wrong people watching, the wrong choices catching up to them, and the clock ticking on Ivy’s time at Briar U, this bad idea could be the end of them both.

Ryker Davenport is the reckless, arrogant heir to his family’s company…and my ticket to a big promotion. As a publicist at one of the top PR firms in New York, I’m used to handling tough cases―not impossible ones. But how better to prove I’m deserving of that promotion than to turn Ryker back into the golden boy everyone once thought him to be and convince the board that he’s fit to lead? The only catch―we’ve got some history. The complicated kind. Spending the summer working in the Hamptons wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t stuck here with the one man who knows just how to get under my skin and into my head. I’ve spent so much time with him that our fighting has slowly turned into something more. Something heated. Now I’m worried it’s not just my head he’s getting into, but my heart. The job was to prove to the world that Ryker isn’t bad for business, but in doing so, I may have proved to myself that Ryker isn’t bad for me…

When your arranged marriage to a small-town stranger is the most promising thing on your calendar, it's time to accept that the year has gotten away from you. My Manhattan bridal business is circling the drain. My finances are a crime scene. My wedding singer parents have opinions about my string of failed engagements. Loudly. In public. Often in harmony. And the only thing standing between me and my childhood bedroom is an arranged marriage to a man I've never met, in a small coastal Maine town I've never visited, with a six-week eject clause I fully intend to ignore. Gideon Mars—six-foot-something of controlled fury and burn-scarred jaw—stares down at me from the altar like I am, specifically, his worst nightmare. He's hostile. He's enormous. He's clearly trying to scare me off before the ink dries. But I don't scare easily. Despite his glares, I march up to him and say, "I do." What follows is six weeks, one bed, and someone in Marswood Harbor who wants me gone even more than Gideon does. The difference is Gideon changes his mind. Apparently, "I do" comes with a bodyguard. And I’m going to need him.

Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to Omaha, where she moved after her parents’ divorce. Charlie’s cynicism didn’t mix well with Bailey’s carefully well-behaved temperament, and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry on top of an already emotionally fraught trip.

Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

The Bourbon Boys Series

It isn't just small-town lore or neighborhood gossip―I've witnessed what happens when the men in my family get too comfortable and fall. And maybe that's history now, but the responsibility to lead our family business and maintain our standing as the world's most sought-after Kentucky bourbon is on my shoulders. Few others know the lengths I'll go to ensure the safety of my business and family. Blurring morals and manipulating rules are all just part of the game. There's only one problem: Hadley Finch. My brother's best friend, Fiasco's small-town princess, an honorary part of my family, the daughter of a deplorable businessman―she's the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now . . . she's my wife. Hadley's wild attitude and smart mouth have always been impossible to ignore. She's the only person who pushes every last shred of my resolve. When she peels off her clothes, shares her desires, and uses a nickname that will be my undoing, the chaos that led us here falls away. There are a decade's worth of secrets and lies between us, but if we can both get what we want―I'll keep Foxx Bourbon, and she can escape the fallout from her father's sins―then none of that matters. Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It's never been about a happy ending or being her hero, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.

While everyone is focused on the teasingly beautiful burlesque dancer, I'm distracted by the woman with a hidden agenda. The smart-mouth, who says what she wants. And the instigator, who prefers a very specific way to drink her bourbon. But as secrets begin to unravel, I realize she's fiercely protective of the ones she loves. When she puts herself in danger to right the past, the rules stop mattering. Only two things have the power to keep my family from falling apart and losing the woman I love―bourbon and secrets.

I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it.

Now she’s everywhere–working at my distillery, living in our guest house, calling me ‘cowboy’ and skinny-dipping in my horse trough. But it’s the way she dishes out attitude from that pretty mouth of hers that has me wanting things I’ve sworn to myself I’d never want again. I should push her away, forget how her lips taste, and ignore how she makes me want more out of life again. When her past shows up and mingles too closely with mine, her lies begin to unravel. The rules don’t matter anymore. I mess up, dig too far, and get too close. Only two things have the power to keep her safe now: bourbon and lies.

Everyone knows that Cherry’s husband, Tom, is off in Hollywood making a movie, but almost no one knows he isn’t coming back. As the creator of the wildly popular semi-autobiographical webcomic *Thursday*, Tom has turned their life into art, including a character clearly based on Cherry, an exaggerated, unflattering version of her known as “Baby.” Now thrust unwillingly into the spotlight, Cherry finds herself recognized by strangers and defined by a portrayal she never asked for. While Tom builds fame and fortune in Los Angeles, she remains in Omaha, stuck in the life they once planned together, caring for the dog he wanted and grappling with the reality of who she is without him. Determined to escape, if only for a night, Cherry leaves everything behind to see her favorite band play, only to be recognized by someone from her past. Russ Sutton remembers her from before her marriage, when she was a vibrant art student with her own sense of style and identity. Unlike everyone else, he sees her for who she truly is, not the caricature the world has come to know. As Cherry begins to reconnect with the person she used to be, she must confront heartbreak, self-image, and the possibility of rediscovering herself beyond the shadow of a relationship that once defined her.

Double U Ranch

She isn't supposed to care about a ranch. She definitely isn't supposed to fall for the foreman. And his six-year-old son is absolutely, definitely not supposed to capture her heart. Lainey Brown is not ranch material. She's a city girl who landed on the legendary Wallace Ranch to give the place a fresh coat of branding―and get her career back on track. She's got no interest in cowboys, cattle, or the infuriatingly gorgeous foreman who clearly wants her gone. Colton Wallace has spent every day since losing his wife building something worth leaving his son: a spotless reputation, a thriving operation, and a life with no room for complications. The last thing he needs is a firecracker from Austin with a sketchbook full of big ideas and a smile that makes him forget every reason he swore off wanting things he can't keep. But somewhere between their very first fight and a Texas night sky that stretches on forever, something shifts. Lainey stops counting the days until she can leave. And Colt stops pretending he wants her to. The ranch has always been the Wallace legacy. But Colt is starting to wonder if the best thing that's ever happened to it―and to him―just walked in wearing city shoes.

The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it—not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from the bank—letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something. Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever.

In a world dominated by bite-sized videos, Mia Hollister somehow found the perfect job: writing about life on her ranch. Her column details her zoo of animals, farm-to-table recipes, endless outdoor chores—and people are eating it up. It’s gotten so popular that an entire feature is being produced about her cowgirl lifestyle, complete with a camera crew and director. Which would be fantastic…if she actually lived on a ranch. In reality, Mia writes from her tiny city apartment. She’d been desperate for a job and loves to write, so why not provide some escapism into a dreamy cowboy world? She may have zero ranching experience, but her friend Arianna’s family owns Copper Creek Ranch, the very place that inspired Mia’s column. With Mia's dream job on the line, Arianna encourages her to head to the ranch early to prep her lie for the feature. Enter Dane, Arianna’s older brother. He’s been enlisted to teach Mia how to be a cowgirl, though he finds the whole situation preposterous. But Mia isn’t the helpless city girl she appeared to be at first, and Dane isn’t the alpha country boy Mia thought he was, either. Then the unthinkable happens: the crew arrives early. As Mia and Dane scramble to pull off the ultimate ruse, putting out fires around every corner, their own sparks turn into a flame they may not be able to quench.

Love never lies… but wedding vows do. CALISTA Remember when I said I was swearing off men forever? Well... about that. Turns out I'm actually marrying Ronan Akov— The Bratva boss who romanced me for eight dates while he stole my company behind my back. That's because my smart scale went off again. At midnight. Triggered by a stranger who broke into my house while my children slept down the hall. See, when you bring New York's most dangerous man to his knees, people notice. His enemies want the tool I built—and the woman who runs it. The FBI wants me to help them bury him. And the only shield big enough to cover two kids and their mother… is the last name of the man who broke my heart. My terms: fake vows, separate bedrooms, zero forgiveness. He agrees to everything. Then he ruins me anyway— One "You're beautiful" text at a time. I have every receipt I need to hate my husband. If only my heart would stop deleting the evidence. RONAN I lied to the only woman I've ever loved. She caught me. Now, I'll do anything to get her back. But my world was watching. And they realized what she is: My newest weakness. Marrying her keeps her safe. It won't make her love me again. That's fine. I'll sleep in the guest room. I'll wear her hate like a wedding band. Hate, I can work with. It means she still feels something. To the men hunting my family: Pray I find you before she does. To my wife: Those vows weren't fake, kotyonok. I meant every word.

So imagine my face when I'm out of town at a work conference, and I get a strange notification from my smart scale at 1 A.M: “Congrats on your goal weight—You lost 40 lbs!” I begin to wonder who my husband had in our bedroom. So I start digging. What I find is so much worse than just cheating. My husband is trying to steal my business, our house, AND custody of MY kids! That's it. Plan decided. I'm going to gather the receipts and ruin Todd's life. And then I'm swearing off men forever. RONAN Men like Todd Bradshaw disgust me. Lying, scheming, backstabbing cowards. He's hired my law firm to take everything from his unsuspecting wife. Right down to her KIDS. But before I can tear him to pieces, She storms in and does it for me. Just like that, I'm mesmerized. Todd called her "too curvy," but he couldn't have been more wrong. Every inch of Calista Bradshaw is exactly to my liking. She's smart. Ferocious. Fights for what's hers.

A Marfil Saga

He was my protection…and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés lives the kind of life people imagine from afar. The daughter of a powerful businessman, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes, stolen hours at her ballet studio, and glittering nights in New York City. Her world feels untouchable—polished, predictable, safe. Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil opens her eyes in a hospital in New Orleans with no memory of what happened. There are no demands, no suspects, no explanation, only fear and the unsettling certainty that she is no longer safe. In the wake of the attack, her father tightens security and assigns her a bodyguard: Sebastian Moore. Sebastian is controlled, distant, unreadable—a man whose discipline borders on dangerous. His quiet intensity unsettles and infuriates Marfil in equal measure, stirring resentment toward his presence, his rules, his unyielding watchfulness. Yet as the threat surrounding her refuses to fade, Sebastian becomes the one person she cannot escape…and the one she cannot stop wanting. What begins as tension slowly ignites into something far more dangerous. Because the closer Marfil gets to Sebastian, the more she realizes the greatest risk may not be the one lurking in the shadows…but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive, and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.

After spending over a year in Berlin participating in a clinical trial for her lupus, Layla is painfully aware of how her medical bills have drained her parent's bank account. When the opportunity arises to become a nanny, Layla can't refuse. As the pair help build a home for the little girl who desperately needs them both, the walls around their hearts begin to crumble. Layla learns there's more to Kieran than the flirtatious winks and playful personality, while he's determined to give Layla everything her illness robbed her of. But when forever was never guaranteed for either of them, they'll need to fight for the chance of a new life.

Rhett Eaton is a man who lives for the thrill of bull riding, causing trouble, and operating entirely on his own terms. When a viral outburst puts his professional career in jeopardy, his team brings in Summer Hamilton, a polished and no-nonsense PR representative who has zero interest in the rodeo circuit or babysitting an arrogant athlete.

However, as they navigate forced road trips and the pressure of maintaining a fake public image, their late-night heart-to-hearts begin to bridge the gap between them. Somewhere between the dust of the arena and the quiet moments in between, the animosity between the uptight publicist and the rebellious cowboy begins to blur into an attraction that neither of them saw coming.

One bubbly city girl lost in the Highlands. Three rugged Scots determined to keep her there. Yesterday, I was a fashion influencer on a trip to a luxurious Scottish spa. Today, I’m the internet's favourite trainwreck. All it took was one embarrassing viral video to end my career and leave me stranded in the Highlands. I find shelter on Lochview Sheep Farm. It’s certainly not a luxury vacation spot… unless you count the three huge Scots running the place. There’s Cameron, the grumpy shepherd who calls me ‘princess’ when my heels get stuck in the mud… before carrying me inside. Fraser, the flirty rancher with the auburn hair, who promises to wear his kilt just for me. And Alec, the commanding farm manager, who seems to hate me… until a sudden storm sends his protective streak into overdrive. They all assume I’m just a clueless city girl. But when they find out what I’m hiding from, they swear to take care of me. Soon, I’m being kissed in freezing Scottish lochs, cuddled in front of the roaring fireplace, and being spoiled like the princess they once accused me of being. And the best part? My three handsome Highlanders are used to sharing everything… And now they want to share me.

How to Troll a Guy in Ten Days by Pippa Grant

Sweet

Accidentally Infamous

If Tennessee Rhodes and I were the last two people on earth, sorry, humanity would be doomed. He's obnoxious. He pretends he's funny. He takes great pains to get under my skin. And since his sister is my best friend, one of the women my great-aunt and I invited to live with us after she went viral, he's around far more than I'd like. Now, for instance. Now, Ten's parked on my couch, in his boxers, eating Oreos in a bowl of milk like they're cereal, telling me he's gone viral and needs me to hide him too. Less than two weeks before we reopen the winery where my found family and I live. The opening that we need to go well because we're facing foreclosure if it doesn't. The worst part? With those big puppy dog eyes and his panty-melting smile that he uses to his advantage, he's convinced my great-aunt he needs to stay as her personal assistant. Which means it's up to me to convince him to leave on his own. Keep him from causing trouble and wrecking the grand opening. Easier said than done when I find out the rest of his story though. You'd think the experience of being my unpredictable great-aunt's caretaker the past five years would've prepared me for Tennessee's antics. Or that the time I've spent fighting internet trolls for sport the past five years would've made me smart enough to not fall for his charms. But I apparently don't know myself as well as I think I do. Nor is Tennessee the man I think he is either. And that's bad. Worse than bad. Because when I find out his secret-the real reason he needs to lay low here-my heart will be at just as much risk as the winery's reopening.

Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing to step into the batter's box, but as the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, the crowd isn't cheering, they’re waiting for her to strike out. She has the sharp mind and the veteran experience to lead, but in a world that still smells like a locker room, she is viewed as an outsider occupying a man’s throne. Under a microscope and facing ruthless pressure to prove she belongs, Reese has a simple rule for the season: zero distractions. That rule is immediately tested by the one man who refuses to follow her playbook. Emmett Montgomery is baseball royalty, a former All-Star turned field manager who leads with his heart and treats the diamond like sacred ground. He’s used to calling the shots, and the last thing he wants is a "suit" telling him how to run his team, especially one who seems more interested in spreadsheets than stolen bases. But as the grueling schedule of away games forces them into close quarters, the "ice queen" facade begins to crack. Emmett starts to see the fire burning beneath Reese’s professional cool and the grit it takes to stand your ground when the whole world wants you to trip. When their dugout arguments shift from heated banter to undeniable, skin-searing chemistry, the professional line doesn't just blur, it vanishes. Reese knows that a scandal with her manager is exactly the ammunition her critics need to ruin her career before the seventh-inning stretch. The smart play is to keep Emmett at arm’s length for the sake of the standings and her legacy. But as the pennant race heats up, they’re discovering that staying away from each other is the one game neither of them has the heart to win.

Some might say the color of deception is yellow or green. I disagree. It’s black. It comes in a suit with a distasteful shirt, six foot three of pure muscle, alluring eyes, and, of course, the icing on the cake, a buzz cut. Who would have seen that coming? No one. And I wasn’t any different. I fell hard for the wolf in sheep’s clothing, or more likely, an undercover FBI agent disguised as my bodyguard to get close to my brother. By the time I discover who he really was, my heart was already his. And when his mission ends, everything I loved comes crashing down. Too bad some lies don’t just break hearts. They destroy lives.

With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can’t afford the distraction she brings. Isabella is everything he shouldn’t want, but with every look and every touch, he’s tempted to break all his rules…and claim her as his own. *** Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she doesn’t like or a man she couldn’t charm...except for Kai Young.

But she can’t deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her melt with just a touch. No matter how hard they try, they can’t resist giving into their forbidden desires.

Jude Kensington is the playboy of Pembroke Hills Country Club and the last person I expected to be living with this summer. Charming flirt. Billionaire bachelor. And my friend who once kissed me during a night neither of us can remember―or forget. But before things could get complicated, a surprise showed up on his doorstep. A baby. His baby. With no clue how to care for an infant and me in search of a place to live, we strike a deal: I’ll help him survive fatherhood, and he’ll give me a place to stay. Temporary. Convenient. Totally platonic. Except nothing about this arrangement feels simple. Not when I’m rocking his daughter to sleep. Not when I catch him watching me like I’m something he can’t have. And definitely not when I remember exactly how it felt to kiss him. Falling for Jude was never part of the deal. But the longer we play house, the harder it is to pretend I don’t want to be more than friends…

When he spilled blue slush all over her at a gas station. It wasn't a great first impression. Now their friends are trying to set them up, as if she has time for that amid the wedding chaos. Plus, there’s no way she’s interested. Right?

Now she’s back— and she’s crashing at my place for a couple of months while she figures things out. She’s single and ready for a fresh start. I’ve always had her back, and that hasn’t changed. What has changed? The way that she looks at me. The way I can’t stop looking at her. So, when Gracie makes me a once in a lifetime proposition--obviously, I'm all in. But this isn't your average gray area--it's a full-on, sweat-inducing, five chili pepper detour we never meant to take. Gracie has big dreams though, and I’d never be the guy to hold her back.

Help Wanted: Grumpy mountain man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting as the form of communication and nosy brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request. I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life. But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands in my lap. Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life. Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she’s perfect. She’s wild, she’s opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her… She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for. And to my great horror, I realize on our first night of attempting this baby-making dance—when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing and the home-insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter—I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate. I want to make her mine.

Not that Kind of Proposal by Victoria Lavine

Gracie Holland can plan the perfect Happily Ever After—unless it’s her own. After a soul-flattening breakup, she’s rebuilt her life planning weddings at Larkwood—an ivy-covered Rhode Island estate where she lives in the staff cottage (and only occasionally cries herself into a blanket burrito). But when her beloved boss passes away and leaves the estate to her grandson, Gracie suddenly finds herself pitted against a love-allergic divorce lawyer determined to sell Larkwood by summer’s end—even if it means crushing his grandmother’s legacy and everyone’s jobs beneath his polished wingtips. As someone who cleans up romantic disasters for a living, Jude Larkwood has no intention of keeping the estate as a wedding venue, no matter how much he loved his Nana. Selling it is critical for reasons he can’t discuss, but there’s just one problem: his Nana inexplicably left the guest cottage to the estate’s maddeningly romantic wedding planner, who has somehow turned his mind into her permanent residence. So, when Gracie proposes that he help her plan her ex’s shotgun wedding to prove Larkwood is worth saving, he agrees—on one condition. If she fails to convince him by the big day, she’ll sell him her cottage. But as bickering and cake tastings turn into late-night confessions, Gracie and Jude find themselves breaking every vow not to fall for each other. After all, opposites may attract—but can a hopeless romantic and a professional cynic really say “I do” to their own love story?

I can't stop thinking about all the ways I could take her down a peg. I can't stop thinking about her, period. We clash from the moment we meet. And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it’s hard to keep your distance. It’s even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all. Because Billie is the whole package, whip-smart with a body I fantasize about when I’m alone, and quite possibly the only woman who can save this business—and me. She drives me crazy. In every sense of the word. Every smart-mouthed little comment—every game we play—I end up wanting more. Wanting her closer. With me. Under me. I try not to let her get to me, but the more time we spend together the more I crave her. Her lips. Her trust. Her heart. I want it all. But at what cost?

After a chance meetup at a bar and a heated cab ride together, things come to a head and now instead of hating each other, they’re horizontal in a bed.

The doctor is prepared to keep it cool and professional. That is until her bloodwork reveals that she’s pregnant. What really throws him for a loop…is that the surprise baby…is his.

Philippa Flynn's Year of Panic and Piracy by Jacqueline Firkins

When a sinkhole nearly swallows her whole, burned-out history professor Philippa Flynn takes it as a wake-up call. Leaving her carefully planned but unfulfilling life behind, she moves into an old seaside house she inherited from her grandmother, a bestselling author of swashbuckling romances. Philippa expects the clutter, disrepair, proximity to the family she deliberately moved away from, and reclusive writer she’ll be sharing the house with. She doesn’t expect that writer to also be the cover model who personified Iris Flynn’s bare-chested, cavalier-booted pirate king. While navigating their awkward cohabitation and searching for creative inspiration, the pair discovers the outlines for six more novels they could work on together. But Philippa’s used to facts, Dylan has writer’s block, and neither can craft a love scene while real sparks are flying. To write the story on the page, Philippa will have to embrace the one she’s living, even if it means swapping tenure for treasure maps and plans for pirate kings.

Daniella Daisy Maria wanted love. It’s all she hoped for when watching endless rom-coms every Friday night. What she hadn't hoped for was to find it in her childhood best friend Levi. It was the hand-trembling, heart-thumping kind of love that wasn't supposed to happen when you saw your best friend. But it all ended when he didn’t feel the same way and she vowed to never see him again. Four years later and one night in a crowded bar in the West Village, there he was, just as perfect as ever. Maybe it was the lighting or the way his hair curled above his brow, but she couldn’t say no when he asked her to be his fake girlfriend for his sister’s wedding. Another chance at being his friend and mending her immature mistake? How was she supposed to say no? The weight of possible rejection from her dream grad school quickly became the least of her problems. With old, resurfacing feelings at every staged, romantic interaction and stolen glance, she struggles to find confidence. She couldn't help but think that maybe she should’ve said no to protect her heart for a second time.

Because somewhere between the arguments, the chemistry, and the us-against-the-world pressure… they stop pretending. Too bad the rules of the game don’t leave room for catching feelings….

Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs - even if it's a problematic one.

Violet is usually an optimist. But between her father’s sudden death and the overnight responsibility of caring for her rebellious teenage sister, Phoebe, she’s barely holding it together. Then Phoebe discovers a love letter, never delivered and returned to the sisters’ address, begging its recipient to give him another chance. Phoebe seems excited for the first time since their dad died, and Violet will do anything to keep that smile on her face. Together, they set out to find the letter’s author, hoping to rectify a derailed happily-ever-after. Despite Dex being rather abrasive (valid) and more than a little enigmatic (intriguing?), Phoebe talks him into a cross-country road trip to put the letter in the right hands. Violet is thrilled to see Phoebe thriving again. With every pit stop, they chip away at Dex’s moody exterior, and Violet realizes she might like what lies beneath . . . a lot. But what happens when they finally reach their destination—and Dex’s ex-girlfriend? Is what they’ve discovered on the road strong enough to make it back home?

The Westin Legacies

Grief is constant. It can be as small as a teardrop racing down your cheek, or as vast as the ocean swallowing you in its depths. It ebbs and flows with the tide, but you can never truly find your way to calm waters. You either choose to fight the current and swim to the top, or let the waves take you under and drown you in your sorrow. Some say grief is a price we pay. That it’s the cost of loving someone with all of your heart. And once they are gone, it’s time to settle the bill. But what happens when you can no longer afford the toll? What happens when your grief becomes mixed with anger that is so consuming, you begin to resent the ones who left you behind? What do you do when your tears run out, and you no longer want to swim? When you find yourself traveling down the same road as the ones who raised you? I didn’t ask to be weaved into their web of lies. I didn’t want to raise a child who is the living embodiment of their betrayal. And I certainly didn’t want to fall in love with my dead fiancé’s brother. But what do you do when he becomes your reason to swim again?

The Whiskey Women

In Rumor, Tennessee, one family sits at the center of every whisper. The Crowne women have survived decades of salacious gossip. Everyone knows you can count on them for a shot of whiskey and a wild night, but their best kept secret is how they deliver quiet revenge. I survived a living nightmare. Forced to stay away from my sisters, I've been sworn to secrecy about who I am. Somehow, though, I started over again. But all it takes to mess everything up is a sexy stranger―a charming jeweler with a sinful smile, deliciously dirty promises, and far too many questions. Now, I'm back in my small town, craving routine, hiding my past, and trying not to drown in the pressure to be the old me. I never expected to see him again. Especially once I discover that the gossip and rumors swirling around my family aren't the work of bored townies, but of hidden truths. Between a dead body, a missing cop, and a job that's connected him to my family, Julian Colton insists on staying here. I should keep my distance―not provoke and flirt with him at every turn. But even with layers of secrets between us, he soothes my anxious thoughts and feeds my touch-starved, broken body. When his past catches up with him, and mine threatens to repeat itself, it's my family, their rumors, and our whiskey that'll save us.

Upon her dramatic arrival―involving an incident with a bald eagle―she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.

But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks. Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

But when her brothers make a mistake that could destroy their futures, Desdemona knows it's her duty to protect them. And to protect them, she needs a scapegoat. Someone expendable. Someone ruthless.

The rich play dirty—and he’s learned to play dirtier. So when the untouchable golden girl of Spearcrest comes crawling to him for a favour, he sees her for what she is: his key into the world that’s always shut him out. He offers her a deal: he’ll take the fall for a crime he didn’t commit and in return, she’ll be his girlfriend for the year. All she has to do is convince everyone they’re madly in love. All he has to do is remember that she’s just a means to an end. But the thing about lying? There is always a cost.

Her latest assignment is protecting Jack Stapleton, a world-famous Hollywood heartthrob known for his glistening physique and "Roman deity" looks, from a persistent stalker. When Jack returns to his family's Texas ranch to care for his sick mother, he is determined to keep his family in the dark about the threats against him. To maintain his cover, he convinces a reluctant Hannah to pose as his girlfriend, forcing her to trade her professional detachment for a high-stakes charade. As they navigate the intimacy of the ranch and the prying eyes of his loved ones, Hannah finds that protecting Jack’s life is much easier than protecting her own heart from the man behind the superstar persona.

But lately things are getting weird at work. Elliot’s being…attentive. His eyes linger a little longer than they should, and there’s a heat behind them that I haven’t felt before. And then, in the shock of all shocks, he tells me that my vulnerability is appealing. But when was I vulnerable? Horror dawns…Has my boss been reading my emails to Edgar? Damn it, why did I use my work email? Oh no, does he know what I really think of him? I’d rather die than ever admit it. Or, even worse: is it possible that the man I loathe in real life is the man I’m falling for online?

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl. Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died. The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge. The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot. Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him. Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci. It was not falling in love with him all over again.

"I told them I had a girlfriend." I start to laugh. "This is the greatest day of my life." "Oh, it gets better, Dixon. I told them it was you." Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer. She's rehearsing for a ballroom dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who can't take the hint it's over. Yet despite all that, she still has plenty of time and energy to tell Shane Lindley to screw off. Shane just moved into her apartment building and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he's a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he's messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and―most importantly―leave her alone. What Diana doesn't realize is that Shane's sick of hookups and tired of being on the rebound after his long-term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous…and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbor? Despite Diana's reluctance to break her rule, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can't deny something is sizzling between her and Shane. Something hot and completely unexpected. And it might just be getting a little too real.

I’m wealthy, powerful, and able to get any woman I want. So why do I feel so empty inside? In search of a deeper me, I take a sabbatical from my privileged life. One year of backpacking around Europe: a new identity, no contacts, and no money. Not a bad plan, I think. Until I get there. A crowded hostel room, body odor, and beer bongs―there are no words for the fresh hell I’ve landed in. But amid the chaos, I meet my new roommate, Hayden Whitmore. She sleeps in the bed opposite me, and I openly admit to staring at her more than I sleep. Beautiful, innocent, and smart. Not my usual type but perhaps the perfect woman. There’s just one small problem with the divine Miss Hayden. She’s totally unaffected by my charm. Nothing is working, and now, I’ve been friend zoned. What? But the good thing about me is that I’m an incredible problem solver, and I’ve come up with a diabolical plan. I’m going to slide right in under her friend zone. Be the best damn friend she ever had, hold her hand, make her laugh, and spoon with her in bed. But now there’s another problem. Hayden is the one who is sliding under my skin, and maybe friendship isn’t enough.

She's counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He's counting on making her stay. Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves. Allegra Bianchi goes to escape―New York, her ex's new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment she was passed over for partner. Her plan is simple: settle her eccentric Italian grandmother's estate, sell whatever isn't nailed down, and return to the life she's worked too hard to lose. Instead, she walks into a mess―a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will:live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing. Then there's the neighbor she clashes with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases her family's land and refuses to be impressed by her credentials―or her attitude. He's rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that feels long past, and the word rush isn't part of his vocabulary. Basically, they're exact opposites. But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor Allegra doesn't realize she's wearing, and Matteo shows her the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder. She goes to Tuscany to escape. But now that the countdown to going home is on, Allegra isn't sure she's ready to leave. And the life she's falling for comes with a looming expiration date.

Ryan Shay, the newly appointed captain of the Chicago Devils, has a reputation for being a cold, unapproachable lone wolf with zero work-life balance. When his General Manager questions his leadership, Ryan decides the best way to prove he’s a team player is by faking a relationship with his new roommate, Indy Ivers, who also happens to be his sister’s best friend. Indy is a messy, emotional romantic who is the complete opposite of the controlling NBA superstar, but she agrees to the charade in exchange for a high-profile date to a wedding where her ex-boyfriend will be watching. As they navigate their staged romance, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur, especially when the domestic intimacy of sharing an apartment makes faking it feel far too natural. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Ryan remains adamant that he doesn't believe in love, leaving Indy to wonder if falling for her roommate was a play that will ultimately break her heart.

Three years ago, scientist Emery Finch did something completely out of character: She got married. To Luca—the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering nihgt in Vegas who made her laugh, made he dance, made her feel. But now, Emery is consumed by her top research, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge discoveries come to light. Until the unthinkable happens: A tragic accident takes Luca from her. Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule, using the classified technology she’s developed to bring him back to life. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together…all of it is gone. It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it’s her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won’t waste it—because true love is always worth reviving.

Dylan is the kind of person who is always fifteen minutes early and never leaves things to chance--so she can’t believe she’s about to spend six weeks on a last-minute trip to Wales that she didn’t plan, living in a cabin with a man she’s only met once. Max always goes with the flow, and after his plus-one drops out of his all-expenses-paid travel influencer trip, he’s happy for his sister’s friend to take the spot. After all, from what he remembers of their brief meeting a year ago, Dylan is the kind of woman he’d be more than happy to spend some alone time with. Not that anything is going to happen between them, because Dylan knows getting involved with this reckless, irrepressible flirt is the last thing she needs. So she makes a house rule: they are roommates only, and under no circumstances can anything . . . untoward . . . happen between them. But as the days go by, Max starts to realize how much he enjoys chipping away at the walls Dylan hides herself behind, while Dylan begins to admit to herself that there may be more to Max than she first assumed. And before she knows it, she finds herself wondering if their “roommate rule” might be one rule she actually wants to break…

When Sophie Drear plans her escape to coastal Maine for the summer—for a temporary job revitalizing the storied grounds at Lilymoor House—she doesn’t expect to fall in love. But she does: With the beguiling land, the fragrant flowers, and the towering hedge maze. With the quirky staff and the enigmatic woman who owns the place. And then, the door appears. Never in the same place twice, it leads her to a secret, and unfinished, garden with a frustrated thundercloud of a man trapped inside. This mysterious garden is not the only sign that the future of Lilymoor is unstable: the foliage resists Sophie’s careful nurturing, vines threaten to strangle the hedges, and the manor’s owner has wild ideas about who will take over when she retires—including her inconveniently attractive nephew who is also there just for the summer. Despite herself, Sophie has come to care for the residents of Lilymoor just as much as she cares for its grounds. With the help of one man on the outside of the secret garden, and one man on the inside, she might be the only person who can figure out exactly what Lilymoor needs to bloom once more.

We danced and laughed our way around Boston and had a night of crazy passion that no woman would ever forget. That was twelve months ago, and I haven’t heard from him—until today. I started a new job and met the CEO. You can imagine my surprise to see those naughty blue eyes dance with delight when he saw me across the mahogany desk. But I’m not that carefree girl anymore.

After a chance meeting, Noelle and Jeremiah come to an agreement. He’ll hire her to be his stand-in girlfriend for the weekend, and she’ll use that money toward her tuition.

The Miles High Club

I first met Tristan Miles at a meeting where he was trying to take over my late husband’s company. He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. In the shock of the century, he called me three days later and asked me on a date. I would rather die than date a man like him―though I do have to admit it was good for the ego. Turning him down was the highlight of my year. Six months later, he was the guest speaker at a conference I attended in France. Still arrogant and infuriating―but this time, surprisingly charming and witty. When he looked at me, I got butterflies. But I can’t go there. He’s just a player in a hot suit, and I’m just a widow with three unruly sons. I just need this conference to be over. Because everybody knows that Tristan Miles always gets what he wants…and what he wants is me.

Ace Sterling. Six years. That's how long I've been texting a woman who won't reply. Every birthday. Every Christmas. Every night I'm drunk enough to be honest and sober enough to hit send. Harper Jones. My Goldie. She stole my heart, ground it to dust and then drove it to Los Angeles without even looking back. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, she's been protecting my family from the shadows this whole time. She loves me in silence and lets me think she doesn't. When she walks back into New Falls with secrets that could ignite a war between two of the most dangerous mafia families in the country, it feels like the second chance I've been desperate for. Then I find her tied up in my cousin's barn with another man's ring on her finger. I don't buy it. Won’t. Because there is no me without my soulmate, and the second she stops loving me, my heart will stop beating. So I hold on, the way I always do. Eight seconds at a time. But this town is crawling with enemies I don't see coming. Alliances that aren't what they seem. And someone is pulling strings that none of us can trace until it's too late. So I’m forced to let the woman I love walk down the aisle toward another man. But that isn’t the end of our story… That’s the declaration of war. One phone call changes everything. No words. Just the sound of her breathing. And I know. She's not just calling for herself anymore. They say second chances don't come around twice. They're right. This is our third. And it's the last one either of us will need, because she will always be the only woman I’ll ever love. They think because I ride bulls, I'm just a cowboy. But every Sterling has a line. Cross it, and the cowboy disappears. What's left ain't ranching. It's reckoning.

My family would never be okay with me having feelings for our enemy. When he stops―in the pouring rain―because I have a flat tire, the last thing I expect is for him to help me. I do my best to ignore the water sliding off his hat and how he fills out those jeans. My best, however, is not good enough. Each night I close my eyes and dream of a future we can never have. And after he defends me at the bar and we share one magical dance? It only gets worse. I know I should forget about him, but when I find him alone one night, I offer up a no-strings attached relationship that we both promise to keep secret. Sidelong glances across property lines morph into clandestine meetings under the stars wrapped up in each other's arms. It doesn't matter that our families will never approve or that he's told me he can never love again, I crave him. Soon our no feelings agreement is in tatters, and my heart belongs to that broken cowboy. Will he break it or will he defy them all and choose us instead?

Accidentally Infamous

A former child reality TV star, a retired hockey player, and one rule they shouldn't break - don't date your ex's best friend. There are three things I will never do (again) in my life: 1. Agree to be filmed doing something stupid 2. Let someone else decide if I’m worthy 3. Fall in love Four years ago, I went viral in a moment that earned me the nickname The Wedding Wrecker. I’ve been in hiding at a closed winery with a small group of other accidentally viral women ever since. But the winery is in financial trouble, and we’re taking every opportunity we get to try to save it. Including agreeing to be the focus of a documentary about re-opening. Unfortunately, the documentarian is my ex’s best friend. My ex’s best friend who always hated me with the passion of a million angry internet users. But if it’ll save our home, then fine. I’ll tolerate Declan Fox again. Except the Declan I last knew four years ago is different. Kinder. Less arrogant. More charming. Unexpectedly attractive. And finally free to tell me that he’s always loved me. Thanks, life. I really needed this plot twist.

Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot-as-hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands. It's the perfect combination. But unfortunately for her, he's also her ex-boyfriend's dad. A chance meeting brought them together, and a missed connection has kept them apart.

Because even after all this time, he's still the man Gwen thinks about when she falls asleep. The one she can't get over no matter how hard she tries. Bash is working on mending a fragile relationship with his son, and they both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal. But Gwen sees the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down her spine. The mutual longing is borderline unbearable, and the simmering heat between them is downright palpable.

Rose Hill

But when Tabitha's nephew's guardianship is contested, she decides she'll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy. Rhys Dupris. A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises―ones he won't talk about. In fact, Tabitha and Rhys barely talk at all. Which would be fine, except when he's not talking, he's staring. And the way he looks at her is borderline indecent. The tension between them has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation. Tabitha swore she would never forgive him. But that was before she knew the man behind the mask. The one who's fierce and protective. The one who's gentle and patient. The one who shows up for her and her nephew when they need him most. He's not at all who she thought he was. And that makes hating her husband so much harder…and loving him just a little too easy.

After a public meltdown in the dining room of one of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants, Chef Jack Hartman is back in his South Florida hometown. Angry, grieving, and saddled with the unwanted storefront his late mentor left him, his life is spinning out of control. And that’s before Poppy Winfield—the bubbly, infuriating daughter of his former boss—shows up at his dock. Poppy needs to escape. From her family, her ex-boyfriend, and her reputation as someone who has never taken anything seriously. But more than that, she wants to prove herself—and she has just the plan to do it. Unfortunately, that plan involves Jack Hartman, the most arrogant, intimidating man she’s ever had the pleasure of throwing a shrimp at. Poppy proposes a deal: they work together to open a revamped version of his mentor’s restaurant. Jack will handle the menu, and she’ll use her social media influence to sell the hell out of its grand opening. If she and Jack can make it a success, it’ll be a ticket for them both to return to New York. Jack is intrigued, but only on his terms: If Poppy’s going to do this, she must learn the ropes of the business. From him.

Accidentally Infamous

I should've worn underwear that day. I'd have far less hate mail in my inbox. I'd also still have a job. But I didn't wear underwear. And I had a wardrobe malfunction on a livestream. So now I'm the proud owner of the internet's most famous... you know. The good news? I've been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who've suffered their own five minutes of shame. The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman. A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman. Whom I met when I punched him in the face. Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he's happy keeping his distance from me. But when we find out the winery that's saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners. No big deal, working with a guy that I'm falling harder for each day. I'm already the internet's favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life? But what if it's not unrequited after all?

Part Of Your World

Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is currently flatlining, between a nearly finalized divorce, her brother’s urgent need for a kidney donor, and a looming promotion that seems destined for the new "pain in her ass" colleague, Dr. Jacob Maddox. Briana is fully prepared to loathe the man she considers her professional rival, until Jacob flips the script by sending her a surprisingly brilliant letter. This single act of correspondence reveals that far from being the villain she imagined, Jacob is actually a funny, subversively likable man who simply suffers from terrible first impressions. As the two begin a secret world of exchanged notes, lunch dates in a "sob closet," and quirky debates over tiny horses, their connection deepens into something undeniably real. When Jacob offers the ultimate gift, a kidney for her brother, Briana finds it impossible to resist the quietly sexy doctor, especially once he calls in a favor she simply cannot refuse.
