BLURB


NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Change the Play is a found family, forced proximity, workplace, sports romance.

Foster

I learned early how to survive on my own. Keep my head down and my past locked away.

My childhood taught me that nothing lasts and no one chooses you forever. So I built a life free from love—and pain.

Football gave me discipline. Success gave me distance. Silence kept me safe.

Then Eden walked into my house.

My new housekeeper. Someone meant to clean my messes and remain on the edges of my life.

Except she didn’t stay on the edges. She saw me—really saw me—and didn’t look away. Her laugh somehow turned my empty house into something that felt like a home.

With her, the walls I spent years building began to crack.

Loving her means risking everything. It means believing I’m worth choosing. She makes me want to stop hiding… and change the play.

Eden

I know what it’s like to grow up unwanted. To pack your life into boxes and pretend it doesn’t hurt when no one ever unpacks them for you.

Loneliness taught me independence and resilience, to build a family from the people who stay. I never expected more.

Then I met Foster.

He’s quiet and guarded, carrying the weight of a past he refuses to name.

Working for him was supposed to be simple—do my job, keep my head down, don’t cross lines.

But the more time we spend together, the more I see the man beneath the armor. The one he hides from the world.

We weren’t looking for love. Yet somewhere in the stolen moments, we chose each other.

And for the first time, I’m not just building a family—I’m finally home.

Release Date: March 11, 2026


One small town. Two powerful families. Thirty years of bad blood.

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello returns to her billionaire world-building with the first book in the Firebrook Valley series. Get ready for a high-stakes, forced-proximity romance and a town you’ll want to return to over and over again.

Drew:
Was her goal to intimidate me? Is that why she called for a meeting here, in Boston, at this dusty, old-world exclusive club? If so, she doesn’t know me as well as she thinks she does.
I’m the “find out” part of FAFO.
And I’m only here because she said she needed help with a matter regarding my sister.
They say, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
How close is too close? I’m willing to test that limit.

Bella:
My family calls me “the fixer”, but I’m at a loss this time. It probably wasn’t a good idea to ask for help from the son of the man my father has been openly trying to destroy for decades.
But desperate times call for desperate measures.
Is Drew Burke hot? Yes.
Surprisingly willing to help me? Also yes.
My plan to save both of our families from imploding relies on us working together.
This wasn’t supposed to lead to us tangled up in each other’s lives, waking up in each other’s beds.
And, so far, it’s not making the situation better.
Because in Firebrook Valley, the only thing worse than working with the son of your family’s rival is falling in love with him.

From USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix comes a swoony, small-town firefighter romance packed with heat, heart & all the feels!

It all started with a bee sting, and ended with a firefighter who changed everything.

When a bee sting sends me into a near-anaphylactic shock, I crash into a boulder. Enter Kincaid Greene — rugged, swoon-worthy hotshot firefighter, all calm strength, quiet confidence and my unexpected hero. Even in my dazed, half-conscious state, my hormones take notice. Extra my dog instantly adores him.

Kincaid is the kind of small-town hero who falls hard and doesn’t hesitate. Protective, loyal, and determined to win my heart one slow, sizzling kiss at a time. He’s not afraid of the trust issues I’ve built brick by brick. But trusting a man like him—one who burns this hot—feels like playing with fire.

Too bad my heart doesn’t get the memo.

What starts as a slow burn turns into chemistry that smolders. Every touch feels like striking a match with an emotional pull we can’t ignore.

An emotional, steamy small-town Alaska firefighter romance with a protective hero who falls first, slow-burn tension, emotional angst, surprise baby, sizzling chemistry, hurt/comfort, found family and happily ever after.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

The Bookstore Diaries by Susan Mallery is #NowLive!


"The sweetest present the heart ever got. Mallery delivers captivating emotion through irresistible characters and dares to be unforgettable." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




This summer, the town’s juiciest secrets are revealed in New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery’s joyful and sparkling new novel

Jax has a slight issue with control—as in, she needs it. Always. Too bad she has power only over the Painted Lady Bookstore, the Victorian mansion turned bookshop she inherited. No one else listens to a word she says. Her ex gets engaged for questionable reasons. Her beloved sister, Ryleigh, wants to move away to find a husband. And the handsome contractor Jax has chosen to convince Ryleigh to stay is only interested in Jax.
Still, she’s living the bookworm dream—until an unhappy accident erases the names from the bookshop lockboxes where the town keeps their diaries. Which means the only way to find a diary’s owner is…to read it.
As secrets spill and scandals surface, life at the Painted Lady Bookstore gets a lot more colorful and chaotic. But for a woman who’s always had to take charge, Jax will see that losing control—especially with the right wrong guy—can set you free.

About IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA 

Grumpy meets sunshine in this charming and hilarious forbidden small town romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely! Where there's only one bed in the room...

I really don't need a bodyguard―I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee's sake! But I'm getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it's being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.

Correction: he's the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I'm trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.

To top it all off, he's staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there's only one bed.
Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he's leaving and I'm staying, and there's no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

REVIEW: IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA (DARLING SPRINGS #1) BY LAUREN BLAKELY

It Seemed Like a Good Idea (Darling Springs, #1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance that takes the heart by storm with a hint of humor and an abundance of heat. Blakely is at her best when she lets irony take center stage. From unpredictable to irresistible is always a wild ride. Temptation delivers the drama with an endearing punch and wicked sense of humor.



#Excerpt


“You’re so DIY,” she says.


“From flowers to headbands, sweetheart,” I tell her as I twist the stretchy fabric around her wrists.


“Everything’s a sex toy with you,” she says, glancing back at me since I’m behind her, adjusting the soft material around her hands, clasped behind her back.


“And everything should be,” I murmur as I tug on the material to make sure the hold is firm enough but not too tight. “How does that feel?”


“It’d be better with your d*ck in my mouth. Can I have that sex toy, please?”


“It better be your favorite toy,” I say.


“Guess we’ll find out.”


Heat charges through me, followed by my own laughter. This woman. She’s sexy and witty, caring and giving. Strong-willed and submissive at times too. If I’m not careful, I’ll fall hard for her.


*****

He rubs his chin against my exposed breast, the stubble from his short beard whisking across my skin. He’s sandpaper to my softness, and the contrast makes me squirm. Makes me want him. I reach for his chest, my fingers playing with the wiry hair on his pecs.

A grunt falls from his lips. He looks up, and in a flash he’s on the bed, straddling me, pinning my wrists down. “You trying to touch me?” he asks, but it’s not aggressive. It’s curious. Playful. Like he always is with me.

“I am,” I admit.

He lifts his chin. “You can touch me when I f*&k you.”

I shiver. From ribbons to words. “Now you’re really teasing me.”

He smirks. “I know.”

Emeline

Seven years.

That’s how long it’s been since I last came face-to-face with Levi Tucker. He’s my older brother’s best friend, and the man I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. Now he’s back in River Falls, along with his young son, Rhett, and suddenly they’re woven into both my personal and professional life.

The last thing I expected was the wild, undeniable pull between Levi and me to turn something strictly professional into something deeply personal. But Levi’s past is closing in, and this time, I refuse to walk away. I’m ready to fight for the life and the love I want, because both Levi and Rhett Tucker are worth the battle.


Levi

Tragedy brings my son, Rhett, and me back to River Falls, Colorado. After losing my daughter in a devastating car accident and watching my marriage fall apart, returning home feels like my last chance to start over.

When I’m roped into volunteering at the Wilde Family’s summer camp for underprivileged kids, the last person I expect to fall for is my best friend’s younger sister. For the first time, I can see a future filled with love and happiness for my son and me. Yet when my soon-to-be ex-wife reappears in River Falls, everything I’ve begun to build is suddenly at risk.

Will the past destroy our second chance, or will true love finally get its happily ever after?

Release Date: January 20, 2026

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, Kelly Elliott, comes a new series that takes us back to her roots. Introducing the Love is a Cowboy series.

Ladd
As the son of a third-generation cattle rancher, it's expected that I would follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather and work the family ranch just as they did.

However, that wasn't my dream, and thankfully, my parents stood behind me when I told them I wanted to open a sporting goods store in our hometown of River Falls, Colorado. That's my plan. My endgame, and nothing is going to distract me from that goal.

Then, I met Vivianne Pennington. It soon becomes clear to me that Vivianne is now a part of my dreams, and when I bring her home for Christmas, my entire family and the town of River Falls fall head over heels in love with her.

Vivanne
I've gone and found myself in love with a cowboy from a small town in Colorado. When Ladd's mother and father insist that I come and spend Christmas with them on the family's cattle ranch, I'm both excited and nervous.

It becomes clear to me that Ladd's family has deep roots in the community and a family bond I've never experienced before. Estranged from my own parents, I long to be a part of the Wilde family and start to see myself living on the ranch and being a part of the community.

But I'm keeping a secret from my past. A secret that I'm terrified will destroy the future I envision, and I'm scared to lose the wild cowboy who has stolen my heart.
