Wes And Addie Had Their Chance By Bethany Turner
Wes left Addie at the altar two decades ago . . . and that was supposed to be the end of the story.
When her life crashes and burns in a flurry of secrets and redacted information, Addie Atwater-Elwyn hightails it home to the tiny mountain town of Adelaide Springs, Colorado–back to living with her dad, back to working a low-paying job, back to a life of disappointments. Growing up, nobody expected their local girl to become a high-ranking CIA analyst, married to a gorgeous CIA operative. But that was Addie’s life until she lost . . . well, everything.
Now she’s trying to pick up the pieces of her broken life with a little help from old friends. But there’s one old friend she knows her life is better without–Wesley Hobbes, her childhood sweetheart who left her standing at the altar when they were eighteen years old. Truth be told, Addie would be perfectly content never seeing Wes’s stupid face ever again–which makes it very inconvenient that he’s now a beloved senator and presidential frontrunner, his face everywhere she looks. But that has nothing to do with Addie personally. He might make history, but in her book, he is history.
So, when the unwelcome Wes appears back in their hometown, no one rolls out the red carpet–not Addie and not an entire town that was forced to pick sides (and unanimously chose Addie) decades ago. Senator Hobbes certainly won’t win the popular vote in Adelaide Springs.
Wes, meanwhile, is sitting on a few secrets of his own, including the political scoop of the decade: he’d seriously rather gouge his eyes out than spend another minute in politics, much less ever go anywhere near the White House. Addie knows there has to be more to the story, and her curiosity is clouding her judgment. You can take the girl out of the CIA, but it’s not so easy to shake the CIA out of the girl. Of course, it’s not just curiosity (and the acknowledgement that his face isn’t so stupid after all) that’s been reawakened inside her. But after more than two decades, it’s too late. Wes and Addie already had their chance. Right?

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 CEO I Hate By Leslie North
Liam Lockhart is my brother’s best friend, a decade older, and the kind of mistake I swore I’d never make twice.
Two years ago, we kissed—hard, hot, unforgettable—until he shoved me away like I was a mistake he couldn’t afford. Message received.
So I did what any heartbroken writer would do: I turned him into the villain of my webcomic. Broody, smug, infuriating—and totally based on Liam.
I thought I was subtle. I wasn’t.
Now, thanks to a twist of fate (and my brother’s injury), Liam’s offering me the job of a lifetime: head writer on a hit show for his streaming platform.
The catch?
Working with him every day—while he pretends he hasn’t bonded with the stray mutt now following him everywhere—and trying not to strangle (or kiss) each other.
I should say no. I should remember how it felt when he ghosted me.
But this is my dream job. And staying professional is the plan.
Right up until his lips crash into mine again.
We can keep it casual. We can keep it quiet.
As long as my brother never finds out.
As long as we don’t catch feelings.
As long as I don’t do something truly stupid—like falling for my brother’s best friend.
Kissing Liam the first time was a mistake. Doing it again? A disaster waiting to happen.

When I Should’ve Stay ByMax Monroe
Josie: Before The Moment There are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals in the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in countless nights spent watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his plastered on his face while I sat on a stool at the bar.

Tonight will be a defining moment for the rest of my life.

Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all.
She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.
