Harper Clark never thought she'd get to live out anything close to a fairytale ending. After coping with unexpected tragedy and baring her soul to Jake Bryers, a veteran NHL player at the end of his career, she thought she'd made it through the worst of it. Until she's forced to go back to her hometown and face the horrors of her past one last time. Just as Harper and Jake are supposed to start planning their future together, they're forced to spend weeks apart-and Harper is convinced she can handle the stress on her own while Jake helps out on the family farm. With Jake's NHL career up in the air and Harper struggling to deal with the weight of her past, their once clear future becomes murky as they both try to fight separate battles when they know survival is highest when they're together.

[Slow Brew Series 2 of 2] Bea's dream was always to open a cozy, charming little book cafe. My dream-me, Jules, it's my story now, bitches-was to avoid unnecessary stress, talking about my own feelings, and James Hale. So naturally, the universe decided to shove all three onto my lap. Now I'm thrust into managing Beaumont's Books & Brews-aka Bea's pride and joy (aka the haunted mess of a coffee shop we're scrubbing, gutting, and dragging into existence from the afterlife). Which would be great... if she didn't have to share the title of "co-owner" with a walking migraine in designer loafers. James Hale. My archnemesis. My best friend's boyfriend's brother. Also, somehow, my boss. We made out once. It was a mistake. A moment of weakness. A tragedy for the history books. And now he's here. Every day. Breathing my air, drinking sugary, over-creamed monstrosities he dares to call coffee, and always-always smirking at me. I take my coffee black. No syrup. No foam art. No pulling out emotional baggage mid-espresso. The way coffee should be. Just pure, tasteful pleasure-with a bitter finish. Welcome to Beaumont's. May the odds be ever in my favor.

In order to obtain her revenge body after being cheated on by her fiancé, Claire Sheffield has to turn to her now ex-fiancé's biggest rival to train her, and she ends up getting so much more than what she bargained for. ✨ After sustaining injuries from a car crash, Claire lost all her motivation to get back to the gym. When she gains some weight because of it, her overly body conscious, gym rat, power lifting fiancé cheats on her. In search of revenge, wanting to get her body back and better than before, Claire has to turn to her now ex-fiancé's weight lifting rival. Cue Rhodes York, the heavily tattooed personal trainer by day and power lifter by night. Also rumored steroid user. Claire knows all six-foot-two, two hundred and twenty pounds of him isn't a good idea, but he seems to be her only option after her original trainer has to back out. Having Rhodes as her trainer is anything but what she expected as he helps her with something better than revenge.
