Flow by Tia Louise
He’s loved her since childhood; one fake date might finally make it real.
I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage.
Now I’m a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy.
I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she’s around. And she’s all around—living in my house, sharing my space, so close, I can smell her perfume on my clothes.
I’m all grown up, and I’d still do anything for her.
I was 15 when I stood on a hill in my family’s peach orchard with the cutest boy I knew and said I’d marry him on the spot. Now that boy is a grown man, a hockey star with muscles and dimples and smoldering hazel eyes. He’s also my new roommate, but I’m not here to fall in love. Our beloved peach trees are dying, and I’m here to find a cure.
When the town’s rich bully threatens to own our land and me along with it, I kind of snap. I kind of say Maverick’s mine for real. It’s a lie. We’re only faking, but with every kiss, every touch, every stolen moment, reality starts to blur.
Still, as much as we want to pretend, he’s LA’s hockey champion, and when the semester ends, I’ll have to leave.
That’s reality.
The Best Friend Experiment by G.A. Mazurke
Kiss your best friend and see how they react. I would.....
I even have. My dude best friend.
The only problem is, I recently noticed my other childhood best friend is a woman.
One-of-the-guys Denver is a WOMAN. Now, I can’t see anything else. Kissing her would only make me crave so much more and I’m not sure it’s worth the risk.
I’m grieving my mom and I can’t lose her too.
But it’s a dare from the captain of my hockey team and I’m just a rookie.
I’m in a Catch-22 here. This is Denny, though. She’s my fixer.
She won’t mind helping me out. Right?
On the Brink of Bliss by A.L. Jackson
The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…
Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now. A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.
But I became a recluse for a reason. The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me.
Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids.
That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed. Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn. Each glance of her down the hall and I am splintering. Each brush of her hand and I am brought to my knees.
Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real… Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined.
Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…
The Fifteen-Minute Rule by Max Monroe
Campus legend. Life of the party. The guy everyone wants to know. That’s me—Ace Kelly.
But the one person who truly knows me? Julia Brooks. My best friend since we were kids. Julia’s the kind of girl everyone loves. Sweet, painfully beautiful, and steady, she’s always been my constant.
Somewhere between childhood and college at Dickson University, I fell for her. Hard. And I’ve been running an incognito mission ever since. Operation: Make Julia fall in love with me...without ruining the friendship.
Flawless plan, right? Wrong. One catastrophically stupid moment—fine, several—might’ve blown everything apart.
We’ve always had our fifteen-minute rule: get mad, shout, hate each other all we want, but when the time is up, we're back to best buddies.
But this time, fifteen minutes might not be enough. Not when Julia’s trust and our entire lifetime of “us” is suddenly on the line.
I’m in love with my best friend. And come hell or high water, I’m not giving up my girl without a fight.
Hart's Landing by Melanie Harlow
Four friends made a promise to live one night like it was their last. That night changed everything.
Ten years ago, Mila Ferguson left behind a devastating fire, a stolen kiss, and a shattered circle of friends in her hometown of Hart’s Landing. But when a crisis brings her back, Mila just wants to get in and get out, unscathed by her mother’s constant criticism and unseen by her former crush, Everett McKean.
Only...Everett is everywhere. The town’s attractive, beloved mayor has resisted settling down, but he’s never stopped wondering about Mila. Having her back in Hart’s Landing is the second chance he didn’t know he was waiting for—and he’s not about to waste it.
As Mila slowly opens her heart to Everett and begins to rebuild her fractured friendships, she wonders if coming home was exactly what she needed. But old wounds threaten to open again when questions emerge about what really happened the night Mila left. Who’s really responsible for the fire that destroyed the bakery? And will knowing the truth free Mila from the past, or ignite a blaze that burns down the future she’s trying to build?
People say you can never truly come home again, but sometimes coming home isn’t about where you’ve been. It’s about who you’re brave enough to become.
Safe Haven by Kristen Proby

I’ve spent the past decade raising my troubled nephew alone while building my career as an audiobook narrator.
When my boy needs a fresh start, Ryker offers us sanctuary at the ranch. But living under the same roof with the man who’s always owned my heart ignites feelings I’ve tried hard to bury.
Between helping manage a struggling ranch, watching my nephew find his way, and dealing with the shadows of Ryker’s fame, we discover our connection is stronger than ever.
But when threats from his past surface, we’ll have to decide if our second chance is worth fighting for.
Hart Street Lane by Samantha Young
Faking it has never been so hard…
Breaking up with my fiancé wasn’t on my agenda this summer, neither was hiding the truth from everyone, including my colleagues at Pennington’s department store. But that tiny evasion gets me into trouble when I’m forced to play bride-to-be for our new marketing campaign. If my boss finds out I’ve lied to her, it won’t just be my reputation on the line; it’ll be my job.
Enter my new bestie, Baird McMillan. Professional goalkeeper, professional heartbreaker, and now my professional fake fiancé. Baird’s public escapades have gotten him on the wrong side of his football club’s new owner, and he needs to prove he’s settling down. A fake engagement is a win-win for us both.
There’s just one problem. It turns out there’s nothing fake about the explosive connection Baird and I share.
I may not have been looking for love, but every moment with Baird tempts me to reach for it. Yet just as I start to believe a future together could be a real possibility, our pasts come surging back with a vengeance. And with it, those who will do anything to destroy our chance at forever…

All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else.

So, I tell my wife I want a divorce, only to find out she’s fighting for her life, against a disease that doesn’t like to lose. What kind of man would I be if I went through with ending our marriage knowing she’s sick? So, I stay. I raise our daughter, and I’m there to help her when she needs me. Her best friend, Aurora, is there too, which becomes a problem because Aurora is everything my ex isn’t, and with each passing day, I fall harder for her, and my guilt for those feelings grows.

When Liam shares the biggest secret of his life with me, and the truth about his relationship with Hope comes to life, everything changes between us. His guilt will not let him fully move on with his life. How can I convince him that if he’d let me, I’d love him and his daughter for eternity? I’d give him this heart with no regrets.

The Dating Ban by Dani Elias
Ivy
At forty-one, my career as an Urban Planner is on track, but my personal life? A total car crash. After one too many terrible dates (and a foursome mishap that shall never be mentioned again), my therapist handed me a three-month dating ban. Apparently, I’m supposed to “focus on myself,” which so far includes yoga I’m terrible at, clay work that looks like it was done by a four-year-old, and a baking attempt that produced something akin to cat vomit. But I’m determined to stick to the plan and so the last thing I need is the nosy café owner with the cheeky smile setting up camp in my dreams.
Theo
Life as a single dad means keeping up with Lucy, my 5-year-old tornado who can charm free biscuits out of strangers faster than I can make a flat white. Between running my Viennese café and bedtime negotiations that rival UN peace talks, I don’t exactly have time for complications. Then Ivy shows up, all sass and determination, ranting about her therapist’s odd rules and ordering coffee like it’s a science experiment. The curvy beauty is funny, clever, and unexpectedly refreshing to have around. She is a friend I never knew I needed… just a friend. Then my meddling brothers put all sorts of ideas in my head and that’s just so not what I need.

From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theatres, Dani and Alec were inseparable as kids. Until Dani moved away.
Years later, Dani is back in Minnesota, and exited to reconnect with the nerdy and comforting Alec.
But teenage Alec is NOTHING like the boy she remembers. He's the hockey STAR in a town where hockey players are worshipped as gods – and he loves it.
When one thing leads to another and Dani and Alec find themselves thrown together and playing the role of boyfriend and girlfriend, “complicated” becomes an understatement.
In this Minnesota town, hockey may rule, but romance is about to take its place.
The Best Worst Thing by Lauren Okie
All things considered, Nicole Speyer has a pretty amazing life. At least that’s what she tells herself. She’s got a beautiful house, a relatively successful fertility podcast, and a perfect husband, Gabe. The only thing that’s less than ideal is her years-long struggle with infertility—and how, with every passing day, she and Gabe seem to drift a little further apart.
But then, mere hours after a Hail Mary embryo transfer to her gestational carrier, Nicole discovers Gabe’s been sleeping with their dog walker, and her world turns upside down. Suddenly, a jobless, childless, and now-husbandless Nicole finds herself at the doorstep of somebody she tried to say goodbye to a long time ago.
Logan Milgram: a former colleague with serious golden retriever energy who happens to be laugh-out-loud funny, a colossal nerd, and legitimately kind of hot.

She even begins to like what she sees. And then, like a cruel joke, she gets the news she’s spent a lifetime waiting for: her surrogate is finally pregnant.
As her relationship with Logan develops from a blast-from-the-past fling into something much deeper, Nicole struggles to balance her past, present, and future. Racing against the clock, she must learn to forgive her body for falling short and recognize that sometimes, it’s the biggest betrayals in life that set us free. With everything on the line, can Nicole accept love from the greatest man she’s ever known . . . even if it’s nothing like the story she’d written for herself?
Unafraid by Nyssa Kathryn
A new town. A fresh start. An old enemy.
Aspen Davies had three reasons to move to the small town of Amber Ridge: to get away from her overbearing mother; to escape the clutches of her psychotic ex; and Jesse Hayes. Okay, maybe Jesse isn’t a reason to relocate her entire life. After all, he’s just a friend. A housemate. And someone she absolutely is not going to date. At least…that’s what she keeps telling herself.
Discharged from the military, Jesse Hayes is back in his hometown of Amber Ridge. Only, he’s not alone, as he expected. His new housemate is right down the hall, and every day with Aspen is a new form of torture. She just got out of a relationship, and she’s not looking to get into a new one. He knows that. Doesn’t make wanting her any easier. He needs to keep his distance, for both their sakes.
But when Aspen’s past follows her to her new home, keeping his distance is no longer an option. Jesse needs to keep Aspen safe and in his sights. Because the enemy is proving formidable—and clearly playing for keeps.
The Friendship Fling by Georgia Stone
No one would ever call Ava Monroe a people person, which isn’t ideal for a barista in a busy London coffee shop. She’s sarcastic, blunt, and cynical, and her relationships are strictly no strings attached. With her best friend Josie soon leaving for a year, Ava knows she’ll be all alone unless she shakes up her routine. But she can’t risk bringing chance back into her carefully controlled life.
Then insufferably cheerful, country-hopping, undeniably gorgeous Finn O’Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with a horrifying proposal —a strictly friends-only summer fling. Finn needs a local to help him complete his London bucket list, and Ava needs to reassure Josie she won’t be on her own. And it’s only for a few months.
To Ava’s surprise, their mismatched friendship of convenience becomes oddly tolerable, and as they work their way through Finn’s list and around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights at the museum, their adventures—and Finn’s company—start to feel . . . nice. Incredibly, terrifyingly, dangerously nice.
Still, rules are rules—Ava has good reasons for them—and as the days get shorter, Finn’s departure gets closer. Because that’s the thing about summer: it always ends. Right?
By Your Side by Nora Everly
I never planned on falling for Hunter Cassidy.
He'd been my best friend forever—the steady, loyal guy who fixed everything that broke in my life. My bar. My car. My heart, even when I swore I’d never let anyone near it again.
After my divorce, love was the last thing on my list. I had kids to raise, a business to save, and a thousand pieces of myself to put back together. But then Hunter reminded me of the pact we had made in high school—the one where we promised that if we were still single at forty, we would marry each other—and suddenly nothing felt safe anymore.
Because the man I once called safe was now the one who made my pulse race. The one who waited for me outside my bar at closing time to make sure I was okay. The one who looked at me like I had already been his all along…
Losing him as a friend would break me. But risking my heart on him? That might finally make me whole.
Honeymoon Phase by Amy Daws
When Addison “Roe” Monroe tells me she’s going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father’s lumberyard, desperate times call for desperate measures.
She’s sworn off romance. Says she’s been through enough tragedy. So I offer myself as an alternative, 'cause that’s what best friends are for.
But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refuses to accept my help, and now I find myself training to become a lumberjack.
I refuse to let Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer. She means too much to me. And I swear there are moments where she looks at me like I mean something more to her, too.
On the surface, I’m offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is…I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend.
So if I have to marry her and move her up to Fletcher Mountain just to see if she could love me back, so be it. Because my only regret would be losing her forever, and that’s a fact.
Tempting The Goalie by R.C. Stephens
He’s a six-foot-four hockey Adonis on the ice—and a heartbreaker off it.
Luc Chabot has always been the most gorgeous guy in town, with stormy gray eyes and muscles for days. The catch? He’s also my best friend.
When my NHL hockey player boyfriend cheats on me and leaves my confidence in pieces, Luc is the one who shows up just like he always does. But this time, I need more than a shoulder to cry on. I need to feel wanted. Desired. Alive again.
Luc is Riverside U’s golden boy the guy every girl wants. When his reputation takes a hit, I make him a deal: I’ll help clean up his image… and he’ll help remind me exactly what I’ve been missing. No strings. No feelings. Just friends crossing lines we swore we never would.
Then his hands start lingering in places they shouldn’t. His voice drops, low and rough, when he says my name. And the heat between us turns into something I can’t pretend away. He’s not a forever kind of guy.
Yet the way he touches me, it feels like everything I’ve ever wanted. And that’s the most dangerous part of all.

Worth The Risk by Alexis Winter
The moment his lips touch mine, I know the truth—I made a mistake.
Five years ago, on the verge of one of the biggest decisions of my life, I had what should have been a fleeting encounter with a handsome stranger on a train. Little did I know that moment would change everything.
Now, after a breakup that’s left me shaken, I escape into the fantasy world of social media, posting an innocent little video of my business partner.
But when the romance book community finds it, the video goes viral, and my secret can’t stay hidden any longer. Even worse, he wants to play along. But now, everything’s different. He’s standing too close, his gaze more intense than ever.
I can feel the magnetic pull between us, the unspoken words hanging in the air, and I can’t stop wondering: What if I had chosen him all those years ago? The tension between us isn’t just a spark—it’s a wildfire. Every glance, every touch threatens to set off something beyond our control.
Austin was always the risk I couldn’t take. But now he’s right here, making it clear that pretending isn’t an option anymore. Our professional lines are blurring, and my heart is racing—torn between preserving what we’ve built and risking it all for the chance at something more.
I thought I knew what I wanted. I thought I knew who I wanted. But now, the only thing I’m sure of is that Austin was the risk I never took—and it’s a choice I can’t stop second-guessing.

Promise Me This by Karla Sorensen
Imagine this: an author with a raging case of writer’s block finds an unexpected source of inspiration in her grumpy, gorgeous new roommate. Sounds amazing, right? Except that new roommate is my childhood best friend. And Ian Wilder has been off-limits since I was five.
It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen him, but when I return to my hometown after years away, Ian’s exactly the man I remembered. The same guy who gave me his coat on a playground when we were kids and promised he’d take care of me forever. I need a quiet place to work with this deadline looming. I need a place where my daughter can unwind. Enter Ian with an offer I can’t refuse: his spare bedroom.
It’s an easy yes. Except now the problem is I can’t stop thinking about him, and these thoughts? They’re wandering out of the friend zone. I keep imagining very creative ways to rip off his clothes. And Ian starts giving me looks of his own, the kind that make my heart race.
One night, we cross a line we can’t uncross. The lines have blurred, and our friendship is hanging by a thread. Imagine this: a woman falling for her best friend. And she has no idea if he feels the same.
