Some wounds require more than time to heal... When therapist Luna Mason uses her grandmother's inheritance to build a wellness center in coastal Seagrove, she's determined to create a haven for healing minds and bodies. At Serenity, she offers a sanctuary where breathing comes easier and new beginnings feel possible. Everything unfolds perfectly until she encounters Archer Hawk, a former golf champion whose career-ending injury has left him bitter and resistant to her methods. Archer has no patience for "woo-woo" breathing exercises or gentle movement classes. He's spent his life pushing through pain, and one wellness expert won't change that. But when Luna's techniques begin helping his young golf students, Archer reluctantly finds himself drawn to her quiet strength and compassionate heart. As Luna guides Archer back to the game he loves and he shows her the hidden magic of Seagrove, their professional boundaries begin to blur. Just when they start imagining a future together, a prestigious coaching opportunity in California forces them to question everything. Will Archer choose his lifelong dream, or the woman who taught him to breathe again? And can Luna risk her heart on someone who might leave, when she's finally found a place to call home? Serenity at Seagrove is a moving story about second chances, the healing power of community, and discovering that sometimes life's detours lead us exactly where we're meant to be. |

Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they’re the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.

Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She’s had writer’s block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay…until she realizes her new neighbor is tech “Billionaire Bachelor” Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay... if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he’s on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red carpeted events, and she doesn’t like leaving her emotional support five block radius. One summer. One wall apart. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company’s precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper glimmering, pizza crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It’s all pretend. Promise. Until it isn’t. |

| Worth Fighting For by Jesse Q. SutantoMulan's ready to get down to business. But when it comes to love, she hasn't got a clue.As the right hand of her father’s private equity company, Fa Mulan knows what it takes to succeed as a woman in a man’s world: work twice as hard, be twice as smart, and burp twice as loud as any of the other finance bros she works with. So when her father unexpectedly falls ill in the middle of a critical acquisition, she is determined to see it through. There’s just one hitch: the family company in question is known for its ultra masculine whiskey brand, and the brood of old-fashioned aunts, uncles, and cousins who run it—lead by the dedicated but overworked Shang—will only trust Mulan’s father, Fa Zhou, with the future of their business.
Rather than fail the deal and her father, Mulan pretends she’s Fa Zhou. Since they’ve only corresponded over email, how hard could it be to keep things moving in his absence?
But the email leads to a face-to-face meeting, which leads to an invitation to a week long retreat at Shang’s family ranch. One meeting she can handle, but a whole week of cattle wrangling, axe-throwing, and learning proper butchering techniques, all while trying to convince Shang’s dubious family that this young woman is the powerful private equity CEO they’ve been negotiating with? Not so much—especially as she finds it harder and harder to ignore the undeniable spark between her and Shang.
Can she keep her head in the game and make her father proud, all while trying not to fall into a trough, or in love with Shang? |
