Devin McKenna doesn't date golfers - end of story - but she will definitely be best friends with one. After two years of friendship (and one long year of mysterious silence) with Tate Thacker, collegiate and future-pro golf phenom, he's back for their senior year of college. Tate is the same as always; winning left and right, sticking to his insane schedule, and never being in a serious relationship. A lot had changed for Devin in that one year though. She had her heart broken by a football player, but seeing him so jealous when Tate walks back into her life makes Devin a little too happy. Fake dating might not be a thing in real life, but people used to mistakenly think that Devin and Tate were together all the time - so why can't they just not dispel the rumor for once?

She's a single mom with something to prove. He's a burned-out pastry chef with walls taller than his layer cakes. The kitchen isn't big enough for the tension simmering between them-but neither one's backing down. Abby Meeks is no stranger to hard work. As a single mom to a spirited three-year-old, she's used to juggling chaos with a smile and a to-go coffee. So when she lands the manager position at Marino's Bakery-Baltimore's trendiest new café-she's ready to prove herself. What she's not ready for is Julian Marino. Julian walked away from the high-stakes D.C. pastry scene for a quieter life, but he didn't count on hiring a manager who challenges his every decision... or whose laugh sticks with him long after closing time. Abby is too stubborn, too creative, and far too distracting for a man who's sworn off complications-and she's made it clear she's not looking for anything more than a paycheck and a fresh start. But flour flies, cinnamon ratios are challenged, and the heat between them starts rising faster than his sourdough starter. When secrets from Julian's past surface-and Abby's carefully balanced world threatens to tip-the line between enemies and something more gets dangerously thin. Because sometimes the recipe for love starts with a little too much spice... and ends with something sweet like hello.

The day I finally learned I was carrying the baby I had waited years for, I saw my husband with another family. Alistair Ravenscroft is one of the wealthiest and most dangerous Alphas in England. He rules the northern pack from an ancient castle, can bring hundreds of wolves to their knees with a single command, and for eight years, he called me his one true mate. But he already has a child. A little girl with Lydia-my younger half sister, the daughter born from my father's affair. I had spent my entire life trying not to blame her for the betrayal that destroyed my mother's marriage. All the while, I was terrified of repeating my mother's fate. I never imagined my own husband would make me live through almost the exact same thing. I run from the pack, knowing Alphas do not let their true mates go. My only chance is the protection of Gideon Ashcombe, Alistair's longtime rival. But my husband finds me anyway.

Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.
