When your life is chaotic, what's one more complication? Jane Tanner's friends are settling down, while she's been settling for…
less. She longs for adventure and the big city, but caring for her ailing grandfather means she's shackled to her small town. She's excited her vintage gift shop is finally up and running, but it's not enough. Longing to fulfill at least one dream—to become a mother before her biological clock ticks out—Jane drunkenly propositions the worst possible candidate for Dad. Kurt Elway is off-limits with a capital O. He's a good friend, but he's too young, too busy running his family's ranch. Plus, he and Jane's sister, Kate, used to date. That kind of off-limits. Unbeknownst to Jane, Kurt's pining for her. When he's fully on board to father her baby, she sees him in a new light. Then lingering baggage between Kate and Kurt suddenly surfaces and Jane is reminded of just how messy life is. But...so is parenting. Maybe it's time to embrace the mess?

To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive. But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains. Contains mature themesBy Lindsey Lanza. 2023

But life has other plans when she's caught in a blizzard that leaves her seeking refuge in a cabin owned by none other than the infamous Theo.

Mia Madden is pretty sure that the road to dating app hell is paved with suspiciously hot profiles. Take tonight's…
date, for example. Alex Conroy is unreasonably gorgeous-he's got that whole "board-room in the streets, lumberjack in the sheets" happening-but he also represents everything she loathes about corporate hustle culture. Yet another lousy date to laugh-cry about later. Except, it turns out that Alex is also the hot-shot new boss her dad can't stop complaining about-the Forbes thirty-under-thirty company fixer of his nightmares. Worse, their respective best friends are dating. F. M. L. Suddenly, Mia and Alex are constantly thrown together, whether they're forced to double date, trapped on a sunset cruise, or having to mingle at the company picnic. Not awkward at all. Now she's stuck in a romantic-comedy of errors, where she's kinda, sorta, accidentally dating her enemy. And she's not sure which is worse: that he could ruin her dad's career, or that she might actually like him. Contains mature themesBy Robyn Carr. 2024

A Library Journal Romance Pick of the Month Bestselling author Olivia Dade welcomes you to Harlot's Bay in this delightfully…
sexy rom-com about a woman who buys the town's famous Spite House, only to realize the infuriating man she can't stand lives right next door—and their unwilling proximity might spark something neither can ignore. When Athena Greydon's fiancé ends their engagement, she has no choice but to move into the Spite House she recklessly bought him as a wedding gift. Which is a problem, for several reasons: The house, originally built as a brick middle finger to the neighbors, is only ten feet wide. Her ex's home is literally attached to hers. And Dr. Matthew Vine the Freaking Third—AKA the uptight, judgy jerk who convinced his younger brother to leave her—is living on her other side, only a four-foot alley away. If she has to see Matthew every time she looks out her windows, she might as well have some fun with the situation. By, say, playing erotic audiobooks at top volume with those windows open. A woman living in a Spite House is basically obligated to get petty payback however she can, right? Unfortunately, loathing Matthew proves more difficult than anticipated. He helps her move. He listens. And he's kind of...hot? Dammit. Matthew may not regret ending his brother's engagement, but he does regret what the breakup has done to Athena. He'll help her however he can. If that means finding her work, fine. If that means enduring nightly steamy story hours, so be it. And if that means watching Athena through their windows a bit too often and caring about her a bit too much...well, nothing can come of it. She'll never forgive him. Even if she did, how could he ever tell his beloved younger brother the truth—that Matthew wants the very same woman he encouraged Johnny to leave?By Opal Wei. 2024
