A Wallflower's Guide to Viscounts and Vice
by Manda Collins

Miss Lucy Penhallow has endured enough London seasons to know that she is never going to "take". But no amount of persuasion on her part will convince her mother to give up her quest to find Lucy a husband and allow her eldest daughter to do what she really wants-devote her time to running the Mischief and Mayhem Book Club, where members read the latest crime books. Under the weight of inheriting his father's title three years ago, Viscount Will Chandler has transformed from the fun loving man he was in his youth to the kind of curmudgeon he once would have ridiculed.  When Lucy and Will are accidentally locked in the library at the season's most well attended ball, they witness an attempted murder.  Can they capture a killer without risking the fragile love they've only just found?
Dream on, Ramona Riley
by Ashley Herring Blake

Ramona Riley was a student at a prestigious art school, with dreams of landing in Hollywood. But after her father's car accident, she had to quit everything and return to her small town, Clover Lake, to help take care of her younger sister. Twelve years later, Ramona is still working at the town's cafe. When a big-budget romantic comedy comes to Clover Lake to film, she wonders if this could be her chance. There's only one problem--Dylan Monroe, her first kiss and Hollywood's favorite wild child--is the star. Dylan Monroe has always lived an unconventional life, having famous rock icons for parents. But she wants to prove that she's not some chaotic, talentless nepo baby, that she has actual skills, that she's just a normal person. To do that, Dylan takes on a project at a charming lake town--she even works at the town's cafe, shadowing a local waitress there. But Dylan soon realizes it's not just some small-town waitress she's getting to know--Ramona Riley is someone she's met before.
