Once and Again
by Rebecca Serle
The women of the Novak family were each born with a gift: they can, just once, turn back time. Lauren has known since she was fifteen that her mother Marcella saved Lauren's father from a deadly car accident. Dave is alive and happy, and out on the Malibu waves. But ever since, Marcella, her power spent, has lived in fear of what she won't be able to reverse. Her own mother, Sylvia, is her polar opposite: a free-spirited iconoclast with a glamorous past she only hints at. Lauren has spent her life between these two role models--and waiting for her own catastrophe to strike. Then one summer, Lauren's husband takes a job in New York and she moves back into her childhood home on the shores of Malibu. What she doesn't expect is for the boy next to door to return home as well: Stone, Lauren's first love, who broke her heart nearly a decade before.

The Night We Met
by Abby Jimenez
In everyone's life, there's a split-second decision that can change everything... For Larissa, it came when choosing who to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she'd met the perfect man. She and Chris are great friends, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy. But she didn't choose Chris to drive her home all those months ago-she went with his best friend, and he became her boyfriend. 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. How can something that feels so right be absolutely impossible?-- Provided by publisher.

Janae Sanders' Second Time Around
by Laquette
Wary of love after divorce, Janae Sanders focuses on the best things in her life: her son James and her besties in the Savvy, Sexy, and Single Club. As for romance? Not today, Satan. That is, until high school heartthrob Adam Henderson crashes back into her life at their 20-year reunion. Sparks fly, but just when Janae considers dating again, the new superintendent of James' school district slashes his beloved arts program. Instead of getting her groove back, Janae gets her protest on. Returning home after twenty years, Adam jumps at the chance to reacquaint himself with Janae, the one who got away. But he's nearly reached his limit, juggling a meddling father, school politics, and--unbeknownst to him--Janae's ire. If he can't get the head of the PTA off his back after cutting programs that were costing the district money, his debut role as superintendent and his love life hang in the balance. When a school board meeting is called and they both realize they've been dating the enemy, Janae gives Adam two choices: restore the program or lose her. Adam proposes a third option: one weekend at his cabin to talk it all out--funding the arts, and old feelings too.
