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?

Sarie Writes

Amara never plans on getting tangled up with Jace, the kind of guy everyone warns you about with a knowing look and a shake of the head. He is intense, unpredictable, and far too used to getting exactly what he wants. At first, she pushes back, holding tight to her independence and refusing to be another story people whisper about. But Jace does not play by rules, especially when it comes to her. The pull between them is fierce, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Every glance lingers, every touch feels charged, and every step away becomes harder than the last. As tension builds and control slips, Amara must figure out where she stands in a connection that feels as thrilling as it is overwhelming.

Hannah thought she’d left her past with Wesley behind—or at least learned how to look away. That worked while an ocean separated them. Returning to Washington, DC is supposed to be simple: choose a wedding venue, marry her handsome surgeon fiancé, and close the door on everything she ran from. Instead, she collides with Wesley—her ex, her first love, the heartbreak she never healed. Now a firefighter marked by heat and scars, he’s impossible to ignore. Hannah may have forgotten how much he once meant to her, but Wesley remembers everything, and the past isn’t done with either of them yet.

Juno Sparks

Isobel Wright didn’t come to Wears Valley looking for trouble. She came to help her best friend with a spooked mare and maybe breathe a little Tennessee air. She didn’t expect the horse whisperer — the one with rope burns on his hands, a slow-burn smile, and hazel eyes that made her knees forget their job.

Ryder Callahan looks like he was born in the saddle. And he was. What no one around here knows is that he also owns half of Manhattan.

He keeps those two worlds airtight. Always has.

But Isobel makes him want to stop.

One small town. Two people hiding more than they say. And a pull between them that’s harder to outrun than a two-thousand-pound bull.

Some secrets are worth keeping. Some are worth blowing wide open.
