Almost One Night Stand by A. J. PineCraving a fresh start, Haddie Martin trades life in Chicago for a teaching gig in the quirky small town of Summertown, IL. But when she stops in a hotel to rest for the night, she locks eyes with a painfully handsome, nameless stranger who would make the perfect one-night stand. Only... she chickens out at the last minute and disappears. Never expecting to see the man again, Haddie leaves her embarrassing exit in the rearview and drives straight to her new home. She arrives only to find out, thanks to her new landlord, that her apartment has been double rented, and of course, the other tenant is none other than Levi Rourke, the gorgeous man Haddie bailed on just the other night. If only an apartment was the only thing they had to share... Little did Haddie know, she'd be working daily with her almost-hookup on the school soccer field-him as the coach for the boys team and her for the girls. The spark they both feel might be more than passion. If Levi wasn't set to leave as soon as the school year is up, maybe it could be love.

Love Letters for Other People by Shaylin GandhiWhen mathematician Aubrey MacLean’s career implodes, she has no choice but to return to her rural Indiana hometown, at least temporarily. But small towns have long memories, and so does she, especially when it comes to Nick Thacker, the boy who broke her heart. Nick’s life is routine: long shifts at the steel mill, plus a side business writing love letters for other people. It’s enough to numb his regrets—until his first love returns, stirring up a past he thought he’d buried. Aubrey is focused on rebuilding her career, until she falls for a man whose love letters feel achingly familiar. But as their connection deepens, so does her sense that she’s been here before. The similarities must be a coincidence, right? Because if not, Aubrey may have to choose between the life she’s built and the love she left behind…

The Second Story Bookshop by Denise HunterShelby Thatcher has been working in her grandmother’s bookshop since high school, and adores her job there, and has helped grow it into a community hub for local book lovers. But when her grandmother passes away, she inherits only half the shop, the other half going to Gray Briggs, the man who broke her heart. Gray, meanwhile, had been vilified by the town his whole life, and left as fast as he could, even if it meant leaving the girl he loved behind. Finding himself the beneficiary of his elderly friend’s will, he feels he has no choice but to come back, and face the town’s animosity again. But as these two work together, they find their old feelings resurfacing… but the problems that drove them apart still remain, and new ones are on the rise. Is their love doomed to fail again, or will they find a way to make it work this time around?

But now, Debbie’s life is spiraling out of control: she’s lost her job, something strange is happening with her daughters, and her husband is keeping secrets. Debbie’s done being the bigger person, done being reasonable and practical. She’s taking her own advice, and taking payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most. |
