NINA VILLA NEEDS A BOYFRIEND - A FAKE BOYFRIEND. ENTER NICK DAVIS. Nina Villa told her mother she’s bringing her new boyfriend to Haven for family vacation. The problem? She doesn’t have a new boyfriend. But, what are you supposed to do when your mother invites your ex-boyfriend’s family to the summer house? Now everyone is eager to meet the man who has managed to capture the attention of the workaholic Nina. Her best friend says she should hire someone. They do it in the movies, right? It could be fun in a no strings attached kind of way. Nick Davis seems like the perfect fit, considering he doesn’t like Nina, so cutting ties at the end of the summer will be easy, right? Nina makes Nick an offer: pretend to be her boyfriend for the summer in exchange for more money than he’s ever seen in his life. It’s an offer he can’t refuse – the money could help pay off his brother’s tuition and maybe send his dad on a vacation for once. Little do either of them know, this simple favor is going to have big consequences. And neither is prepared for when feelings begin to grow and the truth about who he is finally comes to light. UNTIL NOW is a contemporary fake dating romance. It is the first in the Strangers series.

Rhi Edgerly has never been one for long-term relationships—occasional flings and on-again, off-again boyfriends more than enough for her. But with her twenty-fifth birthday on the horizon, she finds the thrill wearing off and is toying with the idea of something more serious. But the only one she can imagine spending her life with is her roommate and lifelong best friend, Levi. Between his demanding tech job, a never-ending string of one-night stands, and regular party host duties, confirmed bachelor Levi Morris is getting tired. His job feels like a chore and he finds himself just going through the motions with everyone but Rhi. When a killer job opportunity lands in his lap, he has to decide whether he wants to stay with Rhi in Indianapolis or move back home to Bryton. Rhi and Levi know they’ll be friends for the rest of their lives. But after a few bad dates, an almost kiss, and a new job two hours away, will they risk their almost twenty year friendship to see what kind of soulmates they truly are? Not So Suddenly Soulmates is a friends-to-lovers new adult rom-com with a lot of laughs, plenty of eye rolls, and a little bit of island vacation heat. This stand-alone book is set in the And Then Came Love world from Ellen Wilder and Amber Root.

SHE JUST HAS TO MAKE IT TWO WEEKS, BUT HE ISN'T GOING TO MAKE IT EASY. Michaela Reed’s life is falling apart. Her husband wants a divorce, she is one mistake away from being fired, and she barely recognizes the woman in the mirror. The cherry on top? Her boss wants her to work with the Devil himself on a new project. (Okay, maybe not the Devil , but he’s close enough.) Finnley Sheffield has always been a bit of a wild card — the life of the party, you might say — and it’s finally starting to catch up to him. Finn needs help getting his life on track and the only person who can help him…can’t. Instead, she offers the one person who can handle the project — Michaela, who just so happens to be his best friend’s annoying little sister. Neither is happy with the idea, but they know working together is the only way to get what they want. Now that they’re forced to spend time together, the lines are starting to blur. Michaela realizes that maybe he isn’t as much of a passive-aggressive, narcissistic a-hole as she thought. Finn finds out that she isn’t the same clingy, annoying little kid she used to be. They’re both discovering that maybe they don’t hate each other as much as they thought… Or maybe it’s all just part of a game. STRICTLY BUSINESS is a contemporary, enemies-to-lovers romance. It is the second book in the Strangers series.

Sometimes forever starts with the last person you want. Darci Griffin has sworn off romance—and the cocky new neighbor who catches her in the world’s most humiliating moment. She’s a children’s librarian with a fortress around her heart, an expert at dodging feelings and first dates. Alex Dixon is all sharp edges and bottled-up grief, a widower who lost everything and decided wanting nothing was safer. From their first clash—snark, sparks, and one infuriatingly good deed—they can’t stop colliding: hallway skirmishes, reluctant favors, late-night arguments that turn into the kind of confessions you only make in the dark. What starts as irritation becomes chemistry that won’t be ignored: laughter that sneaks up on them, heat that makes rules feel irrelevant, and a tenderness neither of them thought they’d earn again. But choosing each other means risking what they’ve spent years protecting—her battered belief in being unlovable, his vow to never break a heart or his own again. If they’re brave enough to drop their armor, the enemies they were might just make room for the lovers they’re meant to be. SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT is a steamy, heart-mending enemies-to-lovers romance about second chances, messy healing, and the moment you realize home is a person who argues with you…and stays.

Angry girl energy? Check. Karoline There are only two things I loathe in this world: Valentine’s Day and Mason Kane. Valentine’s Day is actually Singles’ Recognition Day, and Mason Kane is the genesis of my contemptuous heart. I’ve totally moved on, and my life is great. Just great. That is, until both elements of my hatred merge into a nightmare of epic proportions. One: heading the Valentine’s Day marketing campaign for my boss’s jewelry brand as a way to fulfill my internship class. Two: Mason Kane will be appearing in the commercials. Ruining my life again. I can’t mess this up, but how can I pretend everything is fine after how Mason disappeared from my life three years ago? Mason I never thought I’d build a vacation home in Mississippi, but one reason is all I need: Karoline Wright, my childhood best friend, lives there, and I realized a little too late that I was in love with her. But all my grandiose plans to reunite with her are tossed out of the window when I’m ushered into her sphere sooner than expected. Why did I agree to star in a jewelry commercial for Valentine’s Day, and why on God’s green earth is Karoline heading up the campaign? Now, I have to figure out how to get all this boiling hot water between us under a very big bridge. Stat. It’s now or never. I have to weasel my way back into her life and prove myself changed against her rightfully earned suspicions and doubts. And maybe—just maybe—the bricks will crumble away from the mile-high wall she’s built over the past three years. The Designated Valentine is a Christian romance filled with forgiveness, wit, humor, and closed-door swoon.

She’s chasing the story. He’s chasing her heart. Sloane Jenkins is about to write the story that will make or break her career. It’s not the assignment she was given, but it’s the one she knows will earn her a coveted spot at Boston’s biggest magazine. She’s chasing the story that’s never been told: the truth about Elite Wrestling Entertainment and its mysterious owner, Amos Rafferty. There’s just one problem: she has no idea how to get it. Wolf Bennett is known for his charm, humor, and being the fifth wheel of the friend group. After his divorce from fellow wrestler Harper Valentine, he has struggled to get back into the dating game…until he met Sloane. The problem? She isn’t interested, but that doesn’t stop him from thinking about her for the next year. When they cross paths again, they decide to take advantage of this serendipitous moment. Wolf wants to give it a real chance and prove to her there’s more to him than wrestling, but Sloane decides to use their unfinished history to get close, dig deep, and get her story. Soon locker-room secrets, long nights on the road, and undeniable chemistry make it hard to tell where the story ends, and the real feelings begin.

A romantic road trip with my best friend? Braxton I’ve always been the designated friend to Hadley Dawson, and I’d do myself good to remember that.

This romantic road trip to her friend’s destination wedding is the perfect opportunity to make her see me as more than her loyal Labrador and more like the type of lover she swoons over in those romantic suspense books she reads. Hadley I thought I’d found the one, then he cheated. So now I’m stuck going to a southern wedding ALONE, which is taboo in my culture. Unless… I ask my best friend, whom I’m very much attracted to but definitely do not deserve, to tag along with me. I mean, he’s never said no to being my stand-in date before. The problem? I planned this road trip to Virginia for a couple, which means one-bedroom hotels, romantic cabins, and don’t even get me started on the activities. Oh heavens, I’m toast. The Designated Friend is a best friends-to-lovers road trip Christian romance filled with faith, humor, and swoon.
