Fuel To The Fire By Sophie L. Henderson
The best way to avoid single-shaming and a broken heart? Fake date Brock Holt—the infuriating yet smokin’ hot firefighter with a saviour complex and tough guy attitude. And the last person I’d ever fall for.
Sworn to singlehood with abandonment issues after my mom walked out, I need a date to my cousin’s engagement party. Anything to avoid being setup with another boring banker. Bitter and twisted after a bad breakup, Brock needs a girl on his arm to impress at a firefighter gala. No strings, no drama, and absolutely no feelings. We have a deal.
The problem is, as I watch him pull a family from a huge car wreck, and after a steamy forbidden kiss in the fire hall, I can feel myself falling. Hard. We’ve hooked up before and I can’t forget how wild those two weeks burned. But I’ve seen the dumpster fire left behind when relationships fizzle out.
The deeper we get into this lie, the more we’re getting to know each other. Brock has a short fuse, but underneath that rugged exterior, he’s protective and considerate.

Beneath The Orange Blossom By Emma Cowell
A lost love. A devastating secret. And a summer that could change everything…
Two years on from her husband’s death, dressmaker Ellen is learning how to live again and put memories of a difficult marriage behind her.
However, never far from her mind is another memory: Alexandros, her first love from the summer she turned eighteen.
The moment she’d arrived in his hometown of Kardamyli in Greece, Ellen had been intoxicated by the scent of orange blossom in the air, the days of endless sunshine and sparkling azure waters – but most of all by Alexandros himself. They were meant to be, until a devastating secret forced Ellen to leave and never look back…
But now, when her best friend suggests they recreate their teenage summer in Greece, Ellen knows it’s time to confront her past. Will Greece give her the freedom – and happiness – she desperately craves? And there, amidst the lush olive groves, could she rediscover the love she thought she’d lost forever?
Her Slap Shot By Emma Kate
She’s his head hockey coach. He’s her player…
As the first female head coach in professional hockey, Finley Blake knows what’s at stake. One wrong move and she’s not just risking her career, she’s setting back every woman who dreams of leading in this industry.
She didn’t work this hard to throw it all away on a six-foot-three hockey player she had a crush on in high school. Especially one who doesn’t even remember helping her with her slap shot.
Beckett Kane does one thing—hockey. Traded to the Denver Yeti midseason, the veteran defenseman is chasing the captain position he’s always wanted before his body makes him hang up his skates. He’s not here to make friends. He’s not here to feel things. And he’s definitely not here to fall for the best coach he’s ever had.
When Finley and Beckett are paired up for a team challenge, the line they shouldn’t cross starts to look enticingly thin. But some slap shots are worth taking…even the ones that could cost you everything.
