The Neighborly Thing to Do Book 1: Neighborly

The Neighborly Thing to Do Book 1: Neighborly

Al Holland

Lara is really coming into her own. She has a great job, wonderful friends, and a fantastic new apartment. There is one caveat; her neighbour across the hall is her own personal demon, no doubt put here to make her life hell. Worse than that? She can't seem to stay away from him.

The Night We Met

The Night We Met

Talia Sommers

Rory is certain of one thing: love is not for her. Not the soft, dreamy kind people write about. So when she agrees to a blind date, it is only to prove her point and keep her best friend happy. Then she meets Max, and suddenly nothing feels quite so simple. There is an easy spark, a pull she did not plan for, and a tension that keeps her coming back for more. As her feelings shift in ways she cannot ignore, old wounds begin to surface, especially the quiet ache left by her distant mother. Between laughter, confusion, and moments that feel a little too real, Rory starts to wonder if love might not be the story she thought it was.

Family Forever

Valerie J. Clarizio

After tragically losing both parents, Dylan Jacobs is left to care for his five younger brothers while also managing his family’s thriving dairy farm.

Marissa Geyer is desperate to get away from her alcoholic father. When Dylan offers her a live-in nanny/housekeeper position, she jumps at the opportunity. The loving, chaotic household feeds her maternal instincts, and before long, she falls hard for Dylan and the boys. Her sexy boss, however, seems opposed to a romantic relationship.

Despite a powerful attraction to Marissa, Dylan pulls back. His heart has been broken—more than once—by women unwilling to take on his ready-made family. He won’t risk his heart again, or the hearts of his younger brothers, who he’s vowed to protect at any cost.

Marissa may be devoted to his family, but is it enough to risk his heart—and five more—for the woman he’s come to love? Can they become a Family Forever?

That Blue Eyed Boy

That Blue Eyed Boy

Kataya Winston

After finishing school abroad, Stella returns home expecting familiar fields, family chaos, and the freedom she has always loved. What she does not expect is the farm’s new hired hand waiting to pick her up at the airport. Beau is quiet, capable, and far too distracting for someone who plans to focus on work and keep life simple. Stella is bold, spirited, and used to getting her way, which makes every conversation between them spark with playful tension. Farm life suddenly feels different with him around. As days fill with muddy boots, teasing banter, and stolen glances across open fields, both try to pretend nothing is changing. But hearts have a way of wandering, especially when two stubborn souls keep crossing paths where work and attraction collide.

7 Years Later

7 Years Later

Lindsay Hope

Seven years should be enough to forget a first love, but Cassidy knows better. She builds a life that looks steady on the outside, carefully stitched together with routine and quiet resilience. Then Matteo walks back in, no warning, no mercy, and very much not alone. Now their worlds overlap in ways that feel almost unfair, where polite smiles hide old sparks and every glance carries a little too much history. Cassidy tells herself she has moved on, that she can handle this, that time has done its job. But love like theirs doesn’t fade politely. It lingers, teases, and tests every boundary she thought was solid. And as the past presses closer, she begins to wonder… can you really outgrow the one who once felt like forever?

Texts to Texas

Texts to Texas

Natalie K

Sophie has never stayed long enough to call anywhere home, always drifting before roots can take hold. Returning to her small hometown in Texas feels like stepping into a life she once left behind, full of familiar roads and watchful eyes. There, she meets two very different cowboys—one bold and charming, the kind who sweeps her into a whirlwind, and another quiet and steady, seeing her in ways no one else ever has. In a town where whispers travel fast and loyalties run deep, Sophie finds herself caught between attention, comfort, and the pull of something more meaningful. As she begins to settle, she must decide what belonging truly means—and who makes it feel real.

Shifting Greer's Book 1

K. D. Cartiff

Two months ago, Greer had everything—a sharp wit, confidence to burn, and a life that fit perfectly. Now she’s hiding under a new name, in a new town, with nothing but a pair of glasses and a list of lies to keep her safe. Witness Protection was supposed to erase the night she lost her parents, but danger doesn’t fade that easily. When Kaleb starts asking the wrong questions, the world Greer built begins to crack. The past she’s desperate to bury is clawing its way back, and the shadows she ran from might be closer than ever. Can she stay hidden when her heart refuses to?

Her Best Friend's Brother

Roanna Hinks

Harmony crashes at her best friend’s place after a breakup, expecting comfort, chaos, and zero surprises. What she does not expect is Noah, the brother she loves to hate, waiting on the couch with that annoying grin. Their days fill with teasing, sparks, and moments that linger a little too long. Noah feels different now, calmer but bolder, and Harmony is not sure if that makes him more dangerous or more tempting. Living together blurs old lines as attraction sneaks in through laughter and late nights. Beneath the banter, feelings stretch and shift. Is this just chemistry talking, or something neither of them is ready to admit?
