Dear MVP, You're Ice Cold (Seattle, Havoc #2) by Vivian Wood


"Wood brings the sizzle to a heartbreaker that makes it's own rules. From splashes of humor to dashes of feeling, Dear MVP, You're Ice Cold turns a spark into an inferno ...." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: February 20, 2026


The league’s most disciplined player just broke his own rules.

After a brutal divorce from her powerful ex, Scout Nash swears off athletes for good. She wants peace, purpose, and a fresh start away from the spotlight. Working for the Seattle Havoc seems safe enough until she’s assigned to live with their injured MVP, Silas Huxley.

Silas is disciplined, distant, and impossible to please. His shoulder is a wreck, his patience is thin, and he hates that the team sent someone to manage him. Scout’s job is to keep him focused, make sure he heals, and ignore the way his voice slides under her skin.

She tries to keep her distance. He makes that impossible. One argument turns heated, one touch turns reckless, and suddenly the line between helping him and wanting him disappears.

He’s not the type to ask for comfort. But with her, the control he’s famous for starts to slip. Each touch feels like a mistake he wants to make again. Every night gets harder to pretend it means nothing.

Scout knows better than to fall for a man who’s off limits. But when Silas lets her see the man beneath the ice, she stops caring about the rules.

Once she melts him, there’ll be no going back.

grumpy x sunshine, workplace romance, forced proximity, injured hero, protective man, slow burn, he falls first, she’s off-limits

READ THE EXCERPT:

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.”

About IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA (Coming 3/3/2026)

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.

A Very Grumpy Roommate by Shaw Hart releases on February 27th!


https://geni.us/VeryGrumpyRoommate


Get it on Amazon


He needed a quiet place to stay. He got her instead.


Daisy:

I’m in trouble.

I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank.

I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate.

So, I make a post advertising for a roommate.

None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit.

Until Ledger.


Ledger:

As a Navy SEAL, I’m used to order, discipline, and solitude.

I love it. I crave it.

And so that’s what I’m hoping to find in a roommate.

There are no houses or apartments for rent in Wolf Valley, not for the sporadic days that I’ll be there.

So, I start scouring listings looking for a roommate, and I think that I’ve really lucked out when I see Daisy’s post.

Then I meet her.

Daisy is my opposite in every way.

She’s sunshine in yoga pants, with a rescue dog, a houseplant addiction, and a tendency to hum to herself nonstop.

She’s the opposite of what I thought I was looking for, but the more time that I spend with her, the more I start to fall for her, and it doesn’t take me long to realize I might be in more trouble than any mission I’ve ever faced.

Living with Daisy feels less like a temporary arrangement… And more like home.

The Grump Next Door by Kendall Ryan


"From over the top humor to under the radar emotion, Dean and Poppy are combustible fun. Ryan aims for the senses, yet somehow ends up owning the heart." - (Isha C ., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date February 11, 2026


One guest house. One week. One slow-burn disaster waiting to happen.

Dean Whitaker has zero interest in weddings, fairy lights, or the perky woman currently turning his guest house into a scented-candle crime scene.

He’s a divorce attorney. He thrives on prenups, logic, and not getting glitter on his suits.

Poppy Monroe is a wedding planner with a checklist for everything—except how to survive living next door to a hot, brooding, tightly wound lawyer—aka the groom’s brother.

They’re opposites in every way—except for the undeniable chemistry neither of them wants to talk about.

Their mission: survive one week of wedding chaos.

Her sunshine and glitter pens.
His whiskey and restraint.

Opposites attract. Then they combust.

REVIEWTHE GRUMP NEXT DOOR BY KENDALL RYAN 

The Grump Next Door

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ryan aims for the senses, yet somehow ends up owning the heart. From over the top humor to under the radar emotion, Dean and Poppy are combustible fun. The Grump Next Door is a force to be reckoned with. With a wild sense of humor to a dramatic sense of heart, there's no way these characters don't get under your skin and leave a lasting impression.

She doesn’t know what to wear or how to do her hair and makeup, and only one person bids on her after endless seconds of silence. Mortified, Sunny flees.

Burned-out architect Thorne Westbrook traded corporate grind for his own firm and a balanced life, but blueprints can’t fill the void. At the auction, on a whim, he bids high on the wide-eyed beauty no one else wants. She vanishes before hello, so he chases her to small-town Marietta, Montana, hungry for that date…and maybe more.

Defenses crumble over dinner confessions, fascination blooms and passions ignite. But can two wary, guarded people trust each other to finally get it right?

 "A sassy sweetheart that brings the personality while exposing the heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: February 10, 2026


#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips is back with the latest novel in her beloved Chicago Stars series, featuring a romance between a star quarterback and one of the country’s most beautiful—and misunderstood—actresses.

After a mortifying—and very public—humiliation, Dancy Flynn is desperate to find sanctuary far from the crowd. But where can a washed-up sex symbol hide? How about making an unannounced appearance at the secluded lake house of the sweet, sensitive high school boyfriend she hasn’t seen in almost twenty years?

But Chicago Stars quarterback Clint Garrett is no longer the kid Dancy remembers. Now he’s a gridiron superhero, still holding a massive grudge against her for breaking his teenage heart. With no room in his life for either complexity or distractions, he banishes Dancy to a refurbished old railroad caboose tucked away in the woods…and out of his sight.

Except Dancy’s not good at staying invisible. Her efforts to rebuild her career clash with Clint’s desperation to regain his focus, all made more challenging by a rescue dog, a local woman in trouble, a meddling mother, an ex with an agenda…and the sizzle of rekindled emotions.

As Dancy attempts to get her life on track and Clint tries to get his groove back, can these two one-time lovers navigate their rocky pasts and complicated present to find themselves…and each other?

Tropes include:

second-chance romance
enemies to lovers
forced proximity
childhood sweethearts
