The Diamond Puck-Up By Lauren Landish
NHL enforcer Griffin Mahoney has spent years protecting his team on the ice—and his heart off it. The one woman who makes his stone-cold exterior melt? His best friend’s sister, Penny Lee. But when a stolen ring entangles her with the Mob, Griffin’s protective instincts override his promise to stay away.
As a custom jewelry designer, Penny transforms family heirlooms into modern treasures. She’s always thought her brother’s best friend was grumpier than a bear with a hangover—until she discovers the brooding hockey player’s hidden soft side. Their undeniable chemistry catches them both off guard, even as danger circles closer.
With Stanley Cup playoffs looming, Mob threats escalating, and her overprotective brother ready to cross-check them both into the next season, Griffin and Penny’s path to happiness is anything but smooth. Together they’ll discover that true love, like diamonds, can withstand any pressure—and shine even brighter for it.
Secretly Yours By Katie Talbot
Seven years ago, Paul Easton broke my heart. We were inseparable—until one humiliating yearbook photo and one terrible night blew everything up.
Now he’s a superstar, and his gorgeous face is everywhere. On movie posters. On talk shows. On my nerves. As for me? I’m a New York City journalist, and I’m thriving, in case anyone’s keeping score.
So when I land the assignment to write an exposé on him, I say yes. Not to reconnect. To show him how much better off I am without him.
At first, everything goes according to plan. I’m detached and professional.
Until he smiles.
Until his dog decides to adopt me.
Until we stumble into a long-buried Civil War-era mystery . . . and start solving it together.
Now I’m trying to write the story that could make my career—while pretending I’m not still hopelessly in love with the boy who taught me what heartbreak feels like.
This was supposed to be revenge.
Instead, it might just be my second chance.
I’m Looking For A Man In Finance By Sabrina Waldorf
Sparks fly when a journalist seeking the most eligible man on Wall Street goes head-to-head with the finance bro determined to get in her way.
Journalist Hallie Woods has a new assignment: date the hottest guy on Wall Street and document every moment for the magazine she works for. The only problem? Finance bros couldn’t be further from Hallie’s type.
But as Hallie reluctantly flirts her way through the Financial District, there’s one annoyingly handsome 6′5″, blue-eyed man who keeps getting in her way.
James Rossi is a typical finance bro on paper but a hopeless romantic at heart. After being burned by an ex-girlfriend who used him for his money, he’s also fiercely protective of himself and his friends. So when he realizes the new regular at his favorite bar is flirting with his colleagues as fodder for an article, he decides to sabotage her plans.
Hallie and James clash at happy hour every week. But soon their dislike for each other turns into something unexpected, and Hallie questions whether she wants her personal life spread across the pages of a magazine.
Hallie might have found her man in finance, but she also has a choice to make: publish the article or risk her career and invest in true love.
The Cherry Crush Flower Shop By Harper Graham
Zoe Hart is right where she belongs: in her cozy Maple Falls flower shop with her cat Whiskers. But her oldest friend (and secret crush) Jackson is back in their small town too. And most of all, she longs to be in his strong arms. So when her hopelessly romantic mom bets on them being Couple of the Year at the Spring Festival, Zoe finds herself fake-dating the friend-zoned guy she’s always wanted…
When Jackson returns from military service, even working on his llama sanctuary can’t
heal him. But Zoe is the only person who can truly make him smile. He’d do anything for her… even pretend to be dating for the Spring Festival. There’s nothing fake about his feelings as he crushes his lips to hers. But there’s no way she’d really want a broken man like him, would she?
All eyes are on them as the town prepares to vote for Couple of the Year. But when a hidden wildflower meadow becomes their escape, real passion blooms amid falling cherry blossom. Will the magic of spring turn their make-believe romance into true love forever?
