Slow Burn Summer
by Josie Silver
Talent agent Charlie Francisco has three problems: a failed marriage, a career detour, and a breakout romance novel with an anonymous author who refuses to go public. His solution? Hire Kate Elliott, a down-on-her-luck former soap star, to pose as the writer on a summer book tour. For Kate, still reeling from her own divorce, the gig is a much-needed lifeline. Neither expects the connection between them -- or the story -- to feel so real. But as the lies pile up and sparks fly, sticking to the script gets harder. Will they play their parts or risk everything to go off-script?

It Happened on a Sunday
by Tracy Wolff
They call her the Black Widow -- a pop star, a tabloid tragedy, a survivor of fame’s cruelest fire. Sloane Walker has learned to live behind armor and eyeliner, singing songs that hurt and pretending they don’t. On tour and close to breaking, she meets Mateo Sylvester --a rising football star with a disarming smile and no idea what she’s survived. What begins as a photo op becomes something neither can control. But love in the spotlight is its own kind of danger, and if they’re not careful, it could destroy them both.
