Second Chance At Sunshine Inn By Amy Clipston

Two polar opposites, one cozy inn–and one sweet and surprising chance at unlikely love.

When Everleigh Hartnett, a cheerful traveling NICU nurse who can’t sit still, inherits half of her godmother’s beloved seaside bed-and-breakfast, she dreams of selling the place to fund the nonprofit she and her godmother always envisioned. But there’s one tiny problem: her new co-owner. Rugged, grumpy, and fiercely loyal to the inn, Cade Witherspoon isn’t about to let his peaceful life–and his new start–be sold off so easily.

Everleigh and Cade are opposites in every way. She’s sunshine and laughter, while he’s all rough edges and quiet brooding. Their clash of wills over the inn soon has them wondering what on earth Everleigh’s godmother was thinking when she left them both in charge.

As Everleigh gets to know Cade’s softer side–and Cade finds himself drawn to Everleigh’s optimism and kindness–their disagreement over the inn becomes something sweeter. But with the arrival of Cade’s long-lost brother and the looming threat of a developer sniffing around the property, they’ll have to make some hard choices–together.

Can Everleigh and Cade let go of their expectations and build something lasting together? Or will the Sunshine Inn be the place they both leave behind?

Falling For You Again By Kerry Lonsdale

Furniture artisan Meli Hynes still abides by her uncle’s truism: the only lasting love story is the one between artists and their creations. Having already given marriage a shot—for all of twenty-four hours during a Las Vegas fling—Meli made her choice. The wood-crafting shop that is her family legacy will always come first.

But when her uncle decides to sell to a competitor, Meli’s promised inheritance goes belly-up. She’ll do anything to muddle the deal. Including a marriage of convenience to an unforgettable and very practical old friend—the competitor’s son, Aaron. With a controlling family of his own, and every bit as impulsive as Meli, Aaron is in. After all, this isn’t the first time he and Meli got hitched on a whim.

The rules of the ruse are simple: public displays of affection and live together as happy newlyweds. The hardest rule of all? Never let real feelings get in the way of what they plan to be a purely professional second time around.

Healin Hearts In Port Berry By K.T Dady

Welcome to Port Berry, where healing and second chances are just around the corner.

When her husband’s death uncovers a shocking secret, Demi Carter’s world falls apart. Grieving and betrayed, she escapes to the picturesque coastal town of Port Berry, hoping for peace and a fresh start. 

Robson McCoy has built a quiet life for himself in Port Berry, running his pub and supporting others through his bereavement group. But behind his easy charm and warm smile he’s still healing from the loss of his wife three years ago. 

When Demi joins Robson’s support group, she stirs feelings in him he thought were long buried. Their paths continue to cross in the tight-knit community, and when Demi takes a job at Robson’s pub, their bond grows from a tentative friendship to something deeper. 

Neither is looking for love, but sometimes the heart has other plans. Demi and Robson must decide if they’re ready to open their hearts again — and discover that love can be found even after loss. 

The Mastermind By Zara Cox

Ruthless Underboss. Clever Mastermind. Sworn Rival.

Just a handful of reasons why I should hate Cesare Salvatore, heir to the Salvatore Sicilian mafia throne. Other reasons? His insanely gorgeous face. How hot he looks in his Formula One race suit. The feral look in his eyes when he’s pounding his enemy into the ground… But as a Mancinelli, I abide by one family rule: Stay away from the Salvatores.

Betrayal. Forbidden Attraction. Vendetta Ignited.

Cesare believes there’s a traitor in his crew…put there by me. He’ll uncover the truth by any means, including blackmailing me into his bed. What he doesn’t know is I’ve crushed on him since high school; have craved his blood-stained hands on me since one mistake sparked a lust-hate relationship. Discovering he’s equally hot for me risks re-igniting a family vendetta and unearthing brutal decades old secrets many have been killed for. Can we stop before sparks turn to inferno? Because if it does? Forget Romeo & Juliet. Our forbidden attraction will destroy empires.
