Catch The Flame By Juliana Stone

I came to Fire Lake to outrun my past.

A broken-down car, an empty wallet and one loyal dog — that’s all I had when I stumbled into this small town I didn’t plan to stay in.

Then I met Gus Lawson.

Ex–Navy SEAL. Carpenter. Six-foot-five of trouble wrapped in muscle and quiet control. He’s the kind of man who can fix anything — except whatever’s broken inside him.

I tell myself I don’t care. But every time his gaze finds mine, my resolve cracks a little more.

His touch scorches. His kiss tastes like danger. And when he says my name, I forget every reason I ever had to run.

He’s not the kind of man you fall for — he’s the kind you burn for.

Love By The Book By Jessica George

This isn’t a romance. But it is about love.

Remy is lucky. Her three best friends have always been there for her – until the day that they’re not. One of them is moving to New York. One of them is pregnant. And one is busy with her (awful) boyfriend. Suddenly, their foursome is splitting – and it feels like a break-up.

Simone doesn’t need friends. The only people she needs are her family – but when they cut her off, she realises how alone she is.

When the pair meet in a bookshop, they don’t immediately click. But as life keeps throwing them together, they realise that they might just have bumped into exactly what they need… if they can only be brave enough to let each other in.

The Floating Venice Bookshop By Annabel French

Can a bookshop bring two hearts together?

Beth loves everything about living in Venice. The meandering canals and the cobbled streets have captured her heart, so when she loses her job and fears she’ll have to return to England, she’s devastated.

When she stumbles upon a book barge for sale, it seems like fate. Beth has always dreamed of opening a bookshop that combines her two passions: art and books. She just needs to be brave enough to take the leap.

Enter Marco, a gorgeous, passionate Venetian art promoter. Their chemistry is instant and electric, but Beth needs Marco’s local knowledge to launch her business and the last thing she wants is a distraction. However, as they work together, it becomes clear how hard it is to ignore the sparks flying between them.

The closer they become, the more their attraction grows. Soon, they will have to choose: should they face their fears and give love a chance? Or walk away forever?

A Wedding In Provence By Alison Roberts

In the golden light of Provence two fragile hearts are about to collide for a second time ☀️

Sophie Taylor has spent years creating dream weddings under the Provençal sun, pouring love into every detail—except her own heart. After losing her fiancé in a tragic accident, she rebuilt her life from the ruins, turning heartbreak into beauty for others. She never expected him to walk back into it.

Luc Moreau, the man behind the lens and the one mistake she’s never forgiven. Returning under the guise of Le Phénix, the world-famous but reclusive photographer. – he’s the last person she wants to see—yet the only man who ever truly saw her.

Forced to work together at a fairytale château, Sophie and Luc find themselves revisiting the past they buried. And against the backdrop of the South of France, memories resurface, truths unravel, and the spark they once denied begins to reignite. But when Luc’s secret identity—and their shared history—are exposed, Sophie must choose: Sophie must choose: protect the life she’s built or fight for the love of her life.

I Will Always Love You (Maybe) By Dana Hawkins

What’s worse than regretting a one-night stand? Being snowed in with her.

Since losing her wife six years ago, Colby has perfected the hermit lifestyle: secluded Minnesota cabin, golden retriever, weekly cupcake run. Zero complications. Until a chaotic, pink-haired vet tech arrives for a house call and—in one reckless moment—Colby lets someone in.

It was supposed to be one night. Then the blizzard hit.

Josie is a serial hobbyist who’s perfected the art of avoiding rejection. Pilates, painting, pickleball—anything but feelings. So being trapped in a cabin with no distractions and a gorgeous woman who clearly regrets last night? Personal nightmare.

But a lot can happen in a week. Stolen glances turn into lingering eye contact. Awkward silences become late-night conversations. And when the snow stops, both of them have to face the question they’ve been avoiding: what if the biggest risk isn’t opening your heart to someone, it’s letting her walk away when the roads finally clear?

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.

A wife on the edge.
A secret that can’t stay hidden.
And a single night that will change everything.

Then, on the night of the show—while the world is watching the stage—the youngest two McCreight children vanish.

Emotionally complex and deeply character-driven, Until the Truth Comes Out is a gripping tale of fame, marriage, the devastating cost of keeping secrets—and the strength of the women left to carry it all.

Maksim By Katie Ashley
