Brea Lancaster may have been born in the country, but she is a city girl through and through. She is stylish, influential, and loves the excitement that the party life has to offer. When she receives a call from her brother, who she hasn't spoken to in years, she is forced to return to her small country town that she hasn't been back to visit for almost a decade. Glendale is far from the pretty lights and vibrant parties of the city that Brea is used to. Especially the people in town. When Brea runs into-quite literally-her brother's nemesis and childhood friend, Zander, Brea starts to wonder whether everything she has grown up to think of Glendale may not to be true. This is a contemporary romance about a girl learning there is more to life than what meets the eye, and realizing how incredible but terrifying, falling in love is. A steamy, small town, brother's rival romance.

Standalone in the Wellsfield University Series ***** Evelyn Hayes has hated Atlas Griffin, the golden boy of their university hockey team, since their very first conversation three years ago.

Soon, a heated one-night stand leads to an enemies-with-benefits hookup pact. But is either ready to face the consequences when the lines blur and strings start to get attached?

When career-driven, commitment-phobic Nia is named guardian of her late sister's two children, she must choose between returning to her carefully constructed life or staying in a small town to raise them, a decision complicated by a charming neighbor who threatens to derail both her exit strategy and her heart. *** Sharp-tongued, unapologetically ambitious Nia Sinclair has spent her life building walls and a wildly successful marketing agency in New York City. Nia treats relationships like business deals: strategic, temporary, and never too close. Her boyfriend-an older, wealthy media executive-is no exception. But Nia's carefully curated life unravels when her estranged sister dies in a car accident and Nia is named as legal guardian to her two children. Nia plans to drive upstate, sort things out, and be back in the city by Monday. But things go sideways fast. She struggles to connect with the grief-stricken kids-sassy teenager, Mimi, and her autistic little brother, AJ. The paternal grandparents are completely unsuitable guardians. Everyone in the small town is in everyone else's business. And then there's Jack-the tall, charming neighbor with a Southern drawl, calloused hands, and the annoying habit of always being helpful. Nia suddenly finds herself picturing a life completely different from the one she's known. Now she has to choose: go back to the life she built with care and calculation, or stay in the town that dismantled her walls-one kid, and one neighbor, at a time.
