She’s Sworn off Love. He’s About to Change Her Tune.
Anne’s life is perfectly on track. She’s committed to her career and has no time for romantic distractions. As far as she’s concerned, happily ever after only exists in sappy movies and three-minute pop songs. She certainly didn’t expect to meet a handsome stranger on vacation who draws her in with a fiddle and a Grammy worthy smile. But she knows love isn’t real, and she’s not willing to give up her hard-won dreams for song.
Joe is the whole package: handsome, sweet, kind to strangers and a musical prodigy on the fiddle. But he isn’t just Joe, he’s a national country-music super star about to hit the road for a grueling months-long tour. When he should be laser focused on his fans from the stage, all he can think about is Anne as he looks for her face in the crowd. She’s closed off to love, but he didn’t get where is by giving up.
When Anne turns away, Joe turns up the volume. He believes in the power of music, and in the power of love.
As a single mom, my life is built on routine, responsibility, and putting my son first. There isn’t room for distractions—especially not from a playboy hockey player with a reputation as big as his ego.
One night with Sawyer Hill, star forward for the Grizzlies, was supposed to be a moment of indulgence. Nothing more.
Only…he keeps showing up. Keeps looking at me like I matter. And worst of all, he looks at my son like he plans to stay.
But I’ve trusted the wrong man before, and I won’t make that mistake again.

He is the team’s golden boy who has a broken foot and whose contract expires this year. She is the trainer whose job it is to say no to him, and for the following six months both of them will be unable to leave.
Quinn Abbott has rules. Rule one: the athlete’s health outranks the athlete’s opinion. Rule two: never get attached to a patient. Rule three, written specifically for the San Antonio Outlaws’ star running back: do not, under any circumstances, fall for the smile.
Grant Hale has never met a door that stayed closed to him. Then a broken foot puts his season, his contract, and his entire identity on an exam table, and the trainer running his rehab turns out to be the one person in Texas immune to his charm. She has a clipboard, a timeline, and zero interest in his comeback-of-the-year plans. He has a comeback clock, a stubborn streak, and a growing problem: the best part of his ruined season is the hour a day she spends telling him no.
Every morning, the same training room. Every session, her hands on the injury that could end him. Team flights, hotel treatment tables, a rehab schedule written into his contract and hers. They can’t avoid each other, and it’s starting to show. Falling for your trainer is against the rules. Falling for your patient can end a career. And somewhere between the countdown on the whiteboard and the question he shouldn’t ask, two people who’ve spent their lives carrying everything alone have to learn what it costs to let someone in.
Neither of them stands a chance, and the whole season is watching.
Tropes & tone:
• Slow burn — the wait is the point
• Athlete × athletic trainer, forced proximity (three sessions a week, no escape)
• Forbidden — he’s her patient, and one signature could end her career
• Golden retriever hero who falls first and earns it
• Found family — the Outlaws locker room, opinions included
• Open door · guaranteed HEA · standalone
Book Two of the San Antonio Outlaws series. Each book follows a different couple
One More Goal is a fake dating, opposites attract romance…
As the newest forward for the Jacksonville Mud Hens, I’m determined to make a name for myself.
But it’s not easy. I stumble my way through interviews and choke when there are lights and cameras in my face. When the fans get a little too friendly, I freeze up. My public persona is taking a nosedive and my rookie season has just begun.
The solution? A fake relationship. Apparently, a girlfriend will make me look more approachable, and she’ll have no trouble telling fans to keep their hands off her man.
My team and my publicist think they’ve found the perfect person for the job. She’s a figure skater. She’s gorgeous. And her reputation could use a little rehab, too.
But she’s no stranger. I already know Emersyn Zabek. How could I forget being snowed in with the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen? How could I forget losing my virginity to her?
Now that I think about it, I couldn’t have asked for a better fake girlfriend.
My feelings for Em are far from fake. They’re heating up as the days go by. And when her safety is threatened, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep her out of harm’s way.
One More Goal is the first book in the Dirty Puckers Book Club pro hockey series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love sassy heroines, stoic heroes, and enough steam to melt your Kindle, then Leo and Emersyn are the perfect couple for you!

💜He Falls First…and Harder
One night with a beautiful stranger is supposed to be exactly what I need to forget that my NFL career is hanging on by a thread. No last names, no strings, no expectations. Just two people having a little fun before going their separate ways.
At least, that’s the plan.
Problem number one. I definitely want more. Problem number two. She disappears before the sun. Problem number three. I can’t stop thinking about her.
Surely the universe is done with me now. The universe: Bet. Because the woman of my dreams is my coach’s daughter, who I absolutely can’t have.
Pretending our night together never happened is probably the smartest thing either of us could do, but I’ve never been good at walking away from something I want.
Not a text that says “let me know if you need anything” and then nothing.
Dinner. And hands.
I unlocked the door and opened it. “Dr. VanRyan. Is this a house call?”
He grinned. “Could be.”
“Really, what are you doing here?”
He lifted a bag. “I brought dinner and a pair of willing hands.”
I need everyone to sit with the fact that “let me know if you need anything” is not help. It’s a way of feeling helpful while doing nothing. Turning up at the door with food and the willingness to actually DO something — that’s help.
He’s an ER doctor. His job is to walk into other people’s worst days and be useful. Turns out he does it off the clock too.
I haven’t read this yet. I am simply looking at four lines of dialogue and quietly rearranging my October around a man who brings dinner.
Right person, wrong time. A year apart. A second chance neither of them saw coming.
PAGING DR. VANRYAN — Melanie Moreland, October 22.
From Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin comes a new cozy, laugh-out-loud romance.
Callum Goode, the grumpy creator of the beloved website Goode Tidings, never planned on unlawfully occupying the abandoned lakeside cabin where he spent summers as a child. But after a painful and humiliating betrayal, he trades the city for a secluded life in the mountains. There he finds peace, solitude, and a hot tub—which is where Callum happens to be when Eden Madigan and her teenage son wander onto his property claiming the cabin is theirs for the next year.
Seeking space from the newcomers, Callum moves into the small backyard office. Eden might be beautiful and funny, but she’s also the no-filter ex-wife of Callum’s former stepbrother, making her totally off-limits.
Callum appears to be all scowls and ruggedly handsome, but Eden knows there’s more to him. She’s determined to peel back his layers, but what she’s really doing is getting under his skin in a way neither of them expected.
Eden maintains that bringing Callum coffee every afternoon is just a simple kindness. Callum claims he was only offering a friendly ear when Eden was upset. But the way Callum has been showing up in town wearing an uncharacteristic smile on his face says otherwise.
With tentative touches lingering, and lengthy glances heating up, Callum’s grasp on his control begins to slip.
And when the tension finally snaps? There’s no going back.

💙Review💙 When Eden and her son Oliver begin to move into the cabin that her ex has arranged for her to stay for a year she is the one surprised when she realizes that she isn’t alone. Unknown to everyone Callum, her ex’s stepbrother, has been staying there without anyone knowing.

Eden and Oliver are both going through difficult times, and they give each other exactly what they need and the evolution of their romance was perfect as they realize that they are destined to be together.

Aria Bad is a tattooist who’s mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.
Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria Bad, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.
As a single mom, the holidays are chaos on another level. Working two jobs, running a cookie business, and trying to keep Christmas magical for my seven-year-old son is exhausting on a good day. So, I’m not sure why I thought I’d add dating to my never-ending to-do list.
My date is a disaster, but the charming Brit playing piano at the bar—and later flirting with me over a pool table? Not so much.
One reckless night with Beck Hargrove feels harmless.
Until I run into him the next day at my son’s Winter Fest workshop and our one-night fling becomes a lot more complicated.
Now the PTA moms think we’re together, my son is obsessed with him, and the ridiculously charming British man I was supposed to forget keeps showing up in all the worst places—my kitchen, my holiday plans, and very much in my head.
The more he helps with Winter Fest, charms everyone in Cedar Hollow, and looks at me like my messy life is something he actually wants, the harder it is to remember he won’t be staying.
But Beck is always chasing his next adventure.
And I can’t afford to fall for a man who’s only here for the holidays, no matter how much he’s starting to feel like he belongs.
The happiest biker falls for the most academically brilliant, socially awkward woman he’s ever met in this electrifying small-town, opposites-attract romance from USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole.
SUNNY
I thought my job was protecting the men who ride beside me.
Then I met the brilliant, socially awkward Dr. Della Hart.
She’s the smartest person I’ve ever known. She can explain why alligators are ecological engineers, identify a bird by its call, and somehow make a patch of mud sound like the most important place on Earth.
Me?
I once tried to microwave a Pop-Tart still in the wrapper.
While Della notices every bird, every flower, and every tiny change in the water that tells her someone is poisoning an entire ecosystem, she doesn’t notice the men following her, or the ones lying to her.
Good thing I do.
She says she doesn’t need protecting.
That’s cute.
Because somewhere between making her laugh, listening to her passionately explain why wetlands are worth saving, and watching her fight for a place everyone else has forgotten, she became my favourite person.
Everyone thinks I’m the funny one, the laid back one, and they’re right.
Until they come after Della and give me a reason to show them who I really am.

READ THE EXCERPT:
But before Eloise and I dive into business, there’s something I need to do. Something I should have done sooner, but better late than never. “Eloise, sorry I was kind of a d*ck the day I met you.”
“Kind of? You were one,” she says as we wander past booths draped in plaid and garland. Vendors call out over the crowd, selling jars of jam, embroidered stockings, and pine cone wreaths, while Rusty swings his snout left and right, inhaling all the holiday scents.
“That’s why I’m apologizing,” I say, meaning it, since I was more than a little rude that day.
Eloise stops in front of a stall selling blankets with sleigh illustrations on them. “Then say you’re sorry for being a big d*ck. Not kind of one.”
“Sorry for my big d*ck.”
She shoots me a glare.
“I’m just saying.” I shrug.
“Noah.”
“Sometimes it makes me be one.”
“Noah.”
I try again. “Sorry I was a big d*ck. Not sorry I have one.”
“You’re the worst.”
“And that’s why you want to transform me,” I say.
“You have me there. Because you are the ultimate Everest.”
Ah, hell. I can’t help myself. “That’s what she said.”
She wants to make him Mr. Holiday. He wants to stay a certified Grinch. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a small-town spicy holiday romance about a guarded cowboy veterinarian and a Christmas-loving optimist who team up for a town holiday competition.
Dr. Noah Lennox lives by three holiday rules—avoid his hometown, cheerful people, and Christmas itself.
But when his beloved grandfather announces he’s retiring and handing the cherished sleigh-ride farm to either Noah or his slick cousin Stephen, the first rule goes out the window. Back home in Evergreen Falls, the veterinarian vows to fight for the farm that means everything to him. The problem is, the town doesn’t exactly welcome its resident Scrooge with open arms.
Except for one very charming holiday enthusiast. Eloise Langston, a sunny tourism bureau hopeful, needs a win to land her dream job—and to pay the rent. Her holly jolly plan? Turn the broody, broad-shouldered grump into a festive front-runner to help the town’s Mr. Holiday Competition draw record crowds.
Transforming a camera-shy cowboy vet into a small-town sweetheart isn’t exactly in her job description—but neither is falling for him.
Soon, Noah and Eloise find themselves tangled in twinkle lights, fake kisses, and one very real attraction. But with the farm’s future at stake, Stephen’s scheming, and Eloise’s career on the line, there’s a blizzard of reasons to put their feelings on ice.
Or will they fight to turn their holiday fling into forever under the mistletoe?

Her books have been featured in US Weekly and People. Lauren likes dogs, cake and show tunes and she is the vegetarian at your dinner party.
She came to Whynot to uncover her mother’s scandal and instantly disrupted the quiet life of the local man who prefers bees to people.
Travel blogger Reese Cartier lives for the rush of discovering the unknown. She’s survived missed flights, bad haircuts, and questionable hostels, but nothing could have prepared her for quirky, southern town of Whynot, North Carolina. She’s here for one reason… to untangle the truth about her late mother’s mysterious past.
Her first clue? A dusty rented cottage on a secluded bee farm. Her second clue? The infuriatingly handsome, maddeningly quiet beekeeper who owns it.
Eli Hart likes his life simple, which includes tending hives, bottling honey, and avoiding unnecessary conversation. Then sunshine-in-a-sundress Reese crash-lands on his property—literally—sending her drone into a tree over his bee boxes and his sanity straight into jeopardy.
She’s chaos. He’s calm. She wants answers. He wants her to stop breaking things.
But when the too-curious tenant begins to chip away at her mother’s long-buried secrets, a reluctant partnership is formed with Whynot’s hottest, most reclusive bachelor and becomes a full-blown adventure steeped in the town’s secrets, gossip, and nosiest residents.
Somewhere between Reese’s big questions, bigger ideas, and the way she keeps tripping into his quiet life… Eli realizes she’s the most disruptive thing he’s ever wanted.
A grumpy-sunshine romance full of small-town meddling, slow-burn heat, and one impossible beekeeper who learns that sometimes love buzzes in when you least expect it.
