Because of Blake

$20.00

Widowed three years ago, Maggie Hansen thinks moving her kids across town is the solution to her problems, though her anxiety says otherwise. This isn’t just a new chapter, it’s an entirely new book with new settings and characters, and it’s one she’s never read. Nothing else has succeeded in quelling her overactive, overthinking mind, so this must be the answer.

Maggie’s best friend thinks the answer is finding a new man, but as a single mom, Maggie doesn’t have the time or energy for dating. Nor does she have the desire. She found her one and only true love, had him ripped away, and is content to spend the rest of her life relishing in his memory.

Or so she thinks.

When Maggie comes face to face with the handsomest neighbor on the planet, she immediately dismisses her attraction to him. Blake Averson may be chiseled and charming, but he’s too young for her. Not to mention, Maggie doesn’t date. But, the closer she gets, the more of him she wants.

Blake dissolves her walls and shows Maggie what it’s like to love again. Things are almost too good to be true, but Maggie’s anxiety rears its ugly head, reminding her of what is at stake. Maggie must decide if a future with Blake is worth the risk of losing the comfort of her past.

Love Hops

$20.00

After moving back to Colorado from Los Angeles, Lena Bouras began picking up the pieces of her broken life. Her cheating ex-boyfriend ruined her trust. Being unjustly fired from her interior design job obliterated her confidence. The worst blow of all, though, came at the loss of the one person who supported Lena throughout all her endeavors—her mother.

Escaping to her now empty, memory-laden childhood home, Lena worked toward letting go of her old life. But, when her 40th birthday ended up being another failure, it reminded her of what she was missing. Disappointment weighed heavily on her shoulders.

Until Del flipped her world upside down—literally.

Handsome and charming, Del Stratton was the complete opposite of everything she looked for in a man, not to mention he owned a brewery and Lena didn’t drink beer. She promptly dismissed any idea of pursuing a relationship with him. Even though her stomach flipped every time he smiled.

Despite her best efforts, Lena found herself unable to avoid Del. Slowly, she learned to give up her old life, and embraced a new one with him. For the first time in years, Lena felt happy.

But, when an opportunity for all her old dreams to come true presented itself, it forced Lena to choose. Falling in love with Del was easy, but Lena had to decide whether easy dreams with him were better than the ones she worked so hard for in the past.

Mud, Love, and Chemistry

$20.00

Brynn Erlenmeyer loves a good challenge, whether it’s scaling obstacles at her favorite 10-k, or acing her college courses. She succeeds at every endeavor she puts her mind to. In fact, Brynn hasn’t encountered a problem she couldn’t solve.

Aside from the gaping hole in her love life.

With an almost guaranteed internship after graduation, Brynn has everything going for her. But good friends and a bright future only do so much to pad the loneliness in her heart. She yearns for someone to share her life with, so it’s no surprise she falls hard and fast for Sam Eastman. Handsome and charming, he’s practically perfect.

Except he lives two hundred miles away.

Resigning herself to another lost relationship, Brynn says goodbye to Sam and focuses on her classes. Her last year of college seems like it’ll be smooth sailing. But she gets thrown for a loop when Sam unexpectedly reenters her life.

What should be a joyful occurrence takes an ugly turn when Brynn learns that Sam is vying for the same internship. Animosity builds between them, and soon, they’re butting heads. She tries to ignore him completely, but no matter what she does, Brynn can’t avoid his irritatingly handsome face.

He becomes her greatest challenge yet.

Brynn thought the fiery chemistry she had with Sam would melt away her loneliness. Instead, it threatens to incinerate all that she has worked so hard to accomplish. As it turns out, the line between love and hate can be extremely muddy.

Holden On (To You)

$20.00

Holden Hayes’ vanilla lifestyle doesn’t lend itself to one-night stands. At thirty-five, he’s perfectly comfortable in his sweater vests and loafers, while his career as college campus librarian fulfills him. He doesn’t need the reinforcement of a gratuitous hookup. But when a surprise run-in with his ex-girlfriend shreds his confidence, he needs a palette cleanser. He just doesn't expect that person to be his complete opposite.

Mara Flores tries to overcome her traumatic past every day. Her complicated family drama doesn’t make it easy, but when she breaks up with her manipulative boyfriend, things seem brighter. A night out with friends leads to a passionate one-night stand that Mara’s certain won’t be anything more, so she sneaks out to avoid the awkward morning after. Her edgy style could never mix with his clean-cut look, anyway.

When Mara’s ex-boyfriend comes back into her life, her best friend thinks fate is throwing them together, but Mara disagrees. She knows her ex is problematic, and she doesn’t need that trouble. Desperate for a buffer, Mara finds a solution when she crosses paths with Holden again and pleads for him to be her fake boyfriend. While Mara sees their relationship as a way to fend off her ex, Holden views it as a second chance. As different as they are, Holden and Mara will have to decide if what they have is a fling, or something worth holding on to.
