The Not-So-Neutral Zone by Susan May Warren

I've always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else's love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse—and then my entire day—I dared to believe my story might finally be starting.

Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name. Classic.

Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody "Candy" Kane—NHL golden boy, my sister's fiancé's teammate—and he needs a favor. As in, a girlfriend to keep his reputation in good shape while he skates into a new contract. And frankly? I wouldn't mind a date to my sister's over-the-top wedding.

The deal: Fake date through wedding season. Break up at the end. No harm, no foul.

The rules: Fake smiles for the cameras. Fake hand-holding for the fans. Absolutely, positively, no falling for each other for real.

The problem: The chemistry that sparked in Barcelona? Never actually went away. And pretending to be in love with someone you're already halfway in love with?

Terrible idea. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Dare to Fall by Amber Nicole

My friends just dared me to ask the most annoyingly decent man I know to be my fake date to the gala. One night. Show up, smile, make my ex jealous. Go home.

The plan is simple. He plays the part, I get closure, and we both walk away like nothing happened. Except nothing about him has ever been simple.

He's steady. Faithful. All dimples and thick-framed glasses, the kind of man who shows up when it matters—and somehow sees more than I ever say out loud.

And the longer we pretend, the harder it is to remember what's real. I'm so busy trying to make the wrong man jealous, I almost miss what's happening right in front of me.

When I thank him for this favor, he answers like he's teasing. "You've found my weakness." "And that is?" I ask, but I can hear the truth behind it. "You."

It was supposed to last one night—a fake date, a favor, a friend I was never supposed to fall for. It doesn't.

Because some dares remain forever.

Last to Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn

She's caught in a deadly game. He's the only one who can help her win.

Bronwyn Pierce has poured everything into The Haven, her family's exclusive mountain resort in Gossamer Falls. But when financial discrepancies surface and the numbers suggest something far darker than simple mismanagement, she's forced to call on the one person with the skills to help her: Mo Quinn, a former Army intelligence officer, her first love, and the last person she ever wanted to trust again.

Mo has spent years avoiding the woman he once loved and the secrets that tore them apart. But when Bronwyn calls, he can't walk away--especially when it's clear someone wants her gone for good. As they dig deeper into the treacherous motives behind a blackmail scheme, their proximity reignites long-buried feelings neither of them are ready to face. And when the evidence points to an unexpected culprit, Mo faces an impossible choice: trust the proof in front of him or trust his heart.

With danger closing in and no one else to turn to, Bronwyn must break years of silence with Mo to uncover who's trying to destroy The Haven. They'll have to risk everything--including their hearts--to expose the truth before it's too late.

As she tries to rebuild her life, her past comes crashing back―her ex-boyfriend who arrives with shocking news: he now owns the bakery building and may refuse to renew their lease.

Breaking his promise to himself, he steps in to save the day.

Neither Harper nor Beckett is looking for love, but as the pasts they are running from collide and their paths continue to cross, they begin to wonder if God brought them together for a reason.

Can Beckett let go of the troubles that haunt him and welcome Harper into his life? Will Harper realize she can face any challenge with God―and maybe Beckett―by her side?

Head Over Wheels by B.R. Goodwin

Love and Marriage… and a Suite Heart Carriage

I’ve got this theory: Cutting hair is much like forging an unbreakable bond, sealed on small-town gossip and sacred vows of monogamy. That devotion is one of the reasons I’ve felt anchored to the small town of Honey Hill, and my loyal clients, in favor of someplace new.

It’s also why I refuse to cut my long-time best friend’s hair. Because, for me, cutting Owen’s hair is a forever thing. And I know, better than most, forever has an end date.

Owen Jones also happens to be my number one reason for staying in this town where I’ve never quite felt at home.

Knowing it’s only a matter of time before Owen’s baseball career starts to take off and he leaves me behind, I take a chance on my ticket out of Honey Hill: a reality gameshow with a life-changing grand prize.

But if I want to win, I’ll have to recite life-changing vows far more significant thana haircut.

Little Miss Goody Two-Shoes by Shelbey Kendall

Sadie Summers has spent her entire life being exactly who everyone expects her to be.

Responsible. Reliable. Rooted in Dusty Hollow, Texas.

But somewhere between checking boxes, keeping the peace, and making sure everyone else is taken care of, she forgot what it feels like to choose herself.

When she stumbles upon a list titled Try Something You’ve Never Done, Sadie begins to wonder what it might look like to step outside her carefully ordered world—to want more than what’s safe and familiar. What she doesn’t expect is for the list to lead her straight back to Milo Carter.

Milo was her first love. The one who left town—and the one who never really left her heart. Now he’s back, older, steadier, and certain about what he wants. And what he wants is Sadie.

As they begin checking off the list together, Sadie finds herself laughing more, hesitating less, and facing the one question she can’t avoid forever: who is she when she stops living for everyone else?

In Every Chapter by Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht

Paisley:
My summer plans were simple. Kiss my husband, snuggle my dog, and create an elite reading list for the library. Losing seven years' worth of memories after near-death by window artistry, thanks to my klutzy nature? Absolutely not part of the plan.

In one short day, I went from stealing kisses with Greyson to waking up in the hospital to a handsome stranger—the man I forgot I married. Every memory of us is a blank slate, and I’m in the middle of a life I dreamed of but can’t remember.

But there are three things I’m sure of:

I have no intention of letting a man break my heart again
For all his grumpiness, Greyson has a heart of gold. Better than any fictional hero
And my heart is very much in danger of falling in love again…with my husband

Greyson:
My time in the Marines didn’t prepare me for this kind of campaign—Operation Woo My Wife. Of all the nightmares I’ve struggled with since my last mission overseas, Paisley forgetting me was never one of them.

Competing against old and forgotten memories brings its own kind of challenges, but I’m not giving up. She already has my heart. I just need to win hers back.

Because I can’t fail her again. I want to be the hero she remembers.

South of Somewhere by T.I. Lowe

When Juniper Wilder's grief spiraled into addiction, leading first to an arrest for drunk driving, then jail and court-ordered rehab, she lost the most important thing in her life: her baby girl.

Now, sober and on probation, Junie is determined to prove she can be the mother Fern deserves. But she's burned a lot of bridges, ones that can't be easily rebuilt.

Not every road is closed to her, however. Exiled to her late grandmother's South Carolina beach house, Junie starts over, ready to pay off her debts and prove to her brother that he can safely return custody of Fern. She works hard and finds surprising grace in an eclectic recovery community.

There's an unexpected friendship, too—and maybe more—with her neighbor, Henry, a quirky college professor who helps her believe in second chances.

Still, it's hard for Junie to imagine ever forgiving herself, let alone receiving forgiveness from those she's hurt . . . particularly when her past rears its ugly head and threatens to undo every bit of progress she's made.

Letters to Heaven by Riley Beeson

Can a letter to God fix a broken heart?

After the loss of her cherished grandmother, Ivy’s reality is left in tatters, and her faith lies in ruins. Prayers seem pointless, hope is a distant memory, and God feels like a far-off thought.

However everything changes when she stumbles upon a mysterious, colorful mailbox in the woods behind her grandma's house, boldly marked “TO GOD.”

On a whim, Ivy writes a letter full of grief, anger, and words she’s been biting back.

To her astonishment, a reply arrives, filled with words that make her feel truly seen for the first time in weeks.

As Ivy tentatively navigates her way back to faith, she crosses paths with Eli—a boy who’s funny in all the right ways, has the cutest crooked smile, and somehow manages to bring joy into her life just when she needs it most. He’s easy to talk to, easy to trust… and far too easy to fall for.

But healing is never simple, and faith doesn’t come without questions.

As the wilderness strips away the filters, Ember is forced to face herself.

Brighter than Before by Courtney Walsh

After a painfully public discovery shatters her marriage, along with her picture-perfect, country club life, Claire finds herself suddenly single and faced with a blank page for a future. On that page she writes a simple list that reads like equal parts dare and daydream--Move to a new city. Make a real friend. Get a job I love--and she vows to accomplish every single one.

Before she can talk herself out of it, she takes a step of faith, puts her old life in the rearview mirror, and leases an apartment in Chicago, the city that has always had her heart. This one step sends Claire on a journey of self-discovery, giving her the courage to conquer her fears, one checklist item at a time, and showing her that life can be a whole lot brighter than she imagined.

She rediscovers a love for baking, stumbles into new friendships, and even allows her daughter, Minnie, to create a dating profile and choose her dates for her. Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is Miles, the charming, off-limits neighbor whose kindness makes it hard to remember why he's off-limits at all.

Between late-night journaling, disastrous first dates, great big lessons and priceless small victories, Claire learns to quiet the voice telling her she wasn't enough and listens to the one that asks the harder question . . .

What do I really want?

As old expectations loosen their grip, Claire discovers that belonging isn't a place you're invited to--it's a life you build one brave choice at a time. And the sweetest things often show up when you finally get out of your own way.

A Brewed Awakening by Pepper Basham

In the charming mountain town of Wisteria, North Carolina, Daphne Austen clings to tradition like cream to a scone. She's built her life--and her late grandmother's tearoom, Tea Thyme--around all things English: delicate china, Jane Austen novels, and the comforting predictability of routine. The only thing threatening her perfectly ordered world? The loud, aggravatingly handsome Brit opening a pub next door.

After his ex-wife broke his heart and his business partner nearly destroyed his career, Finn Dashwood packed up his six-year-old daughter and left England behind. He's looking for a fresh start, and the last thing he needs is a fussy, tea-obsessed neighbor criticizing his every pint and playlist. It doesn't matter that she's ridiculously kind (to everyone else) and that his daughter is utterly fascinated by her. Finn's heart is not open to being broken again.

But disagreements turn into prank wars and then a competition when a high-profile wedding needs a last-minute caterer. The townsfolk are thrilled--Wisteria hasn't seen this much excitement since the county fair lost a goat.

When the wedding demands both sweet and savory fare, Daphne and Finn are forced to put down their swords and pick up their serving trays. Between burnt pastries, brewing tempers, trending hashtags (#SipsAndSpats, anyone?), and one very adorable little girl, rivalry soon gives way to reluctant friendship--and maybe something that feels suspiciously like chemistry.

Can a tea shop princess and a pub owner with a past mix their lives as seamlessly as clotted cream and jam... or will their differences keep them steeped in rivalry forever?

More than Friends by Denise Hunter

Jenna Greene just ended things with her boyfriend . . . which also ended her career. (That's the risk a girl takes when her boyfriend doubles as her boss.) With no income and no job prospects in sight, Jenna is forced to return to her mother's house on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, to figure out what's next.

And the timing couldn't be more perfect. Jenna's widowed mother has just returned from a cruise--with a brand-new boyfriend in tow. But there's something off about the guy. His story doesn't quite add up, and he keeps sneaking off to make suspicious phone calls and borrowing money from her too-trusting mother.

In search of some investigative help, Jenna turns to her childhood BFF, Tyson Parker, who lives and works in town. Still reeling from his wife's infidelity, Tyson is doing his best to heal from the pain of divorce. He's made a name for himself on the island as a volunteer firefighter and one of the much-admired saltwater cowboys who looks after Chincoteague's wild ponies. Oh, and he turned out to be more than a tiny bit attractive--besides being almost-too-good-to-be-true sweet and caring.

Growing up, the uber-competitive Jenna was always accepted as one of the guys. But things have changed between her and Tyson, and he's now looking at her through new eyes. Jenna suddenly feels like a leading lady on a movie set--only with way less composure.

But Jenna also has old wounds that make these new feelings seem fraught with peril. Is she willing to open her heart and see where love might lead? Or will she let her hesitant heart hold her back?
