Anderson in Bloom
by Jennifer Dugan
From the author of Love at First Set, a hilariously sexy enemies-to-lovers, second-chance rom-com about a reclusive former child star turned florist whose quiet life is turned upside down when her annoyingly hot ex (and former costar) shows up in town, with plans to write a tell-all memoir.Former child star Anderson Andy Ducharme is hiding--has been for a long time, if she's honest with herself, which she isn't.When she suddenly cut off all ties and left LA six years earlier to work in a flower shop in coastal New England, she wasn't just running away from toxic relationships, embezzling agents, and all the rest of her Hollywood life; she was running to something... sort of, if you squinted, and if you accepted that what she was running toward was little more than a vacation daydream she had made up with her (in)famous ex, and former costar, Nicole Nikki Price. Then Nikki announces her plan to write a tell-all book about growing up in Hollywood and their tumultuous time on the Nik and Andy show, and Andy's feelings of hurt and betrayal come rushing back. Emboldened by anger (and maybe one too many drinks), Andy does something very stupid: she texts her ex for the first time in years. No one's more shocked than Andy when Nikki actually shows up to her small florist shop, looking for answers.Andy is fully prepared to send Nikki away, but it seems Nikki has some unfinished business as well. Now that she finally knows where Andy's been hiding, she's not letting her go so easy. And with each passing encounter, Andy can't deny the simmering physical attraction that threatens to boil over every time they get close.But can the two of them really reunite without wrecking Andy's carefully rebuilt life? Or is she setting herself up for a fresh heartbreak? TROPESsecond-chancecelebritysmall townfwbformer exes

No Matter What
by Cara Bastone
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Sometimes love sends you back to the drawing board.After a traumatic accident threatens the foundations of their happy marriage, a couple tries to rebuild and find their way back to each other--and themselves--in this tender, slow-burn romance by the bestselling author of Ready or Not and Promise Me Sunshine. Cara Bastone is an absolute master of tender, emotional, soul-charged love stories.--B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller Roz and Vin can't look each other in the eyes anymore, let alone share a bed. It's been a year since they survived a life-altering accident, and their marriage hasn't been the same. But Roz has held out hope that they can fix things, until she discovers Vin has signed a new lease. So she does what any soon-to-be-divorced Manhattanite would do: sign up for a figure-drawing class. Between Roz's determined attempts to improve her artistic skills and her adventures with her best friend, Raffi, she can almost ignore Vin's impending move-out date and his footsteps in their previously unoccupied guest room. But it would all be a lot easier if Vin wasn't Raffi's older brother, and if she didn't still find him incredibly, debilitatingly attractive and kind. So kind, in fact, that Vin offers to let Roz draw him. What is she supposed to say? It's probably better than her original plan of finding some random male model online, and she needs all the practice she can get. Plus, that's sure to make a separation easier, right? Focus on every detail of your estranged spouse's body while drawing him in the nude? But after the year they've spent avoiding each other, it feels good to see and be seen by one another again. As Roz works to capture the wholeness of the person she fell in love with, will they both be able to draw upon the feelings they buried deep inside to finally heal together?
