Emilia Emerson

She was looking for quiet. 
She found them instead. 
 
Starlight Grove needs a new Lighthouse Keeper and Olive Autumn Harvest needs a fresh start. Preferably one with as much solitude as possible. So, her new job and isolated ocean cottage is perfect—except for the eccentric, meddling townspeople, and the cat who’s adopted her. 
 
When the town wins a grant for lighthouse restoration, Olive is forced to let the contractors into her space…a company comprised of three hot alphas: 
 
Easton, her golden retriever stalker. 
 
Lars, the steady, protective viking. 
 
And Finn, who’s hiding a pain that matches her own. 
 
Suddenly, these guys are everywhere—and they’re completely unfazed by Olive’s prickly personality as they try to care for her, protect her, and court her. But everyone in this relationship is holding on to secrets… and it might not just be the lighthouse that needs restoration.

A Pack for Autumn

Elliott Rose

What happens when you're snowed in on a mountain ranch with the one man you definitely should not be fantasizing about? 
 
I've always done what was expected of me. Layla Birch, the good girl. Forced to grow up too fast. To take care of everything myself. I had a plan. 
 
Only, I didn't count on him. Colton Wilder, the cowboy nearly twice my age. One who takes care of me, gives me a job, and makes my pulse thud harder every time he comes near. 
 
My ex-boyfriend's father. 
 
As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we're both inching closer to a line we shouldn't cross. 
 
Each day, it grows harder to resist the man who looks at me with longing in his eyes. It's tempting to forget about being the good girl for once. 
 
No one would find out. Would they?

But Lola Gray is not the woman the world knows. It’s been a year since her secret relationship imploded, simultaneously breaking Lola's heart and cancelling her album. 
Lola hopes that one night with Renee, the woman she’s never forgotten, will refill her creative well. But then Lola’s team needs a director for her documentary and Renee is the only answer. 
When Renee suggests they tell that story in the documentary, Lola agrees, even if it means coming out and damaging her reputation. But neither Renee or Lola realize how hard it will be to tell their love story, in an industry that sets a narrative of its own…

Now, I’m hiding from the guy I just caught cheating on me, while stranded with a flat tire and a snowstorm approaching. 
 
All it took was a slip of my thumb, a press of the wrong contact name in my phone. 
 
Instead of dialling my best friend for help, I accidentally called my life-long cowboy crush. 
 
My best friend’s father. 
 
Lucas Rhodes is a man I haven’t seen in twelve months. Not since last New Year’s Eve when he drove me home. . . alone. 
 
If we get snowed in together on his ranch tonight, how am I supposed to resist my every teenage fantasy when he’s looking at me like that?

Annabel and Her Sisters

Lynn Painter

Abi is a professional cleaner, so it’s ironic when she’s forced to move out because of an infestation in her building. Thanks, Apartment 2B! 
 
Declan is a busy man, working his way up at Hathaway Holdings. Which is why he’s never met the woman who cleans his penthouse every week. 
 
Abi needs a place to stay, and Declan is out of town, so the solution seems simple and, crucially, free. 
 
But when Declan’s parents tell him they met his girlfriend at his apartment, he's surprised to say the least. Though it is nice to have them off his back about being single for a change. . . 
 
So when Declan discovers the mystery woman is Abi, he makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he’ll provide everything she needs. 
 
What could go wrong? It’s business, not pleasure. . .

Maid For Each Other

Sometimes pretending to be someone else helps you figure out who you really are… 
 
Freshly divorced and in need of a job – Kate Elliot’s life needs a rewrite. So when she unearths an old letter from her ex-talent agent, Jojo Francisco – she takes it as a sign from the universe to brush off her old acting skills and become someone else entirely. 
 
Meanwhile, Charlie Francisco is back from LA, leaving his dumpster fire of a life behind. He may be well over his head in filling the shoes of his late eccentric father but he is determined to prove he can, and he might just have the job for Kate: to pose as the author for a novel that the real writer wants nothing to do with. It’s not quite the glamorous gig she was hoping for, but he’s looking for a nobody and she needs cash fast. 
 
When Kate and Charlie meet they’re all friction and sparks, but they have one thing in common – they’re determined to play their parts. But as the summer heat ups and the lies get bigger and bigger, can they stick to their lines or will they go off-script? 
 
A steamy and sweet love story set in the steamy heat of a London summer, from the queen of the 'what if?' romance Josie Silver.

Bombshell

Meredith Trapp

She’s Texas's toughest bull rider, and he’s determined to win her heart. 
 
Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends – or so Dakota thought. 
 
Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields together, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas . . . until one summer, he never returned. 
 
Dakota hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden boy, and she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer,” breaking both rodeo records and men’s hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip. 
 
Wyatt’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get her back – two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, she finds it hard to stay away. . . 
 
The scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer.
