When his best friend's sister is fired and humiliated in the media, he invites her to accompany him as his fake girlfriend.

They quickly find that there are complications to their charade. Levi’s family is pressuring him to stay permanently, and he knows he shouldn’t get involved with Milly anyway. But there’s an attraction there.

Will they give in to the sparks, despite Milly’s imminent departure looming?

Say It's Forever

by Brittany Carter

Josie returns to the small Arkansas town she once fled, pulled back by a father running out of time and memories she never truly buried. She hopes for closure, not chaos, but home still breathes in secrets and sideways glances. Old whispers linger in the woods, hidden truths linger in locked pages, and every road leads back to the boy she tried to forget. Boone is still there, all heat and history, stirring feelings that never learned how to fade. As past and present tangle tighter, Josie realizes some hometown stories refuse to stay buried. Can love survive when the truth changes everything?

Hate Notes

Hate Notes

by Zainab Sambo

A small-town florist. A superstar quarterback. A decade of hate notes that were never meant to be seen.

Iris writes hate notes the way other people breathe: privately, viciously, and just to survive the mess Jesse left behind. Then someone drags her most humiliating thoughts into the light, and overnight Iris becomes the internet's favourite new obsession, "the girl who hates the quarterback."

Jesse, now a pro football star with a talent for turning charm into armour, comes home determined to handle it. Iris would rather set her hydrangeas on fire than let him control the story again. Especially when the leaks keep coming, the spotlight gets meaner, and her life starts to catch literal heat.

With a steady, too kind ER doctor offering safety, and Jesse refusing to let her go, Iris is trapped between the man who knows her best and the one who feels like an escape. But someone in their small town is fanning the flames on purpose, and if Iris wants her future back, she'll have to risk the one thing she swore she'd never give Jesse again: the truth.

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend

by Mary E Thompson

Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk.

Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.
