Reasons to Be Loved by You
by Hannah Brown
Perfectionist and former pageant girl Nikki Bennet is looking forward to relaxing at her family's lake house in Georgia for the Fourth of July. Even though it's been two years since she was on the reality dating show LovedBy, she still hasn't recovered from finding out on national TV that her fiance, Aaron, had been dating another woman all along. But when she arrives home, her little brother makes a surprise announcement: he's engaged to his girlfriend, Cara--the other woman Aaron had been seeing behind Nikki's back. And what's worse? They intend to have the wedding this summer, right here at the lake. Hoping to stop her brother from making the biggest mistake of his life, Nikki discovers an unlikely ally in Cara's brother, Nate. While their bond begins as shared shock over their siblings' rushed nuptials, it quickly deepens into something more. Nikki knows Nate is completely wrong for her--he's a laid back country boy, she's a driven LA influencer--and yet he's a welcome distraction from the mess of her love life... as well as the growing sense that her family's been hiding something from her, something she may not be ready to hear. But as fireworks light up the water, can Nikki and Nate really stay focused on preventing this wedding? Or will all the reasons they're wrong for each other lead to an even more unlikely love story--their own?

Most Ardently Yours
by Freya Sampson
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of many romance novels, must be in want of a book boyfriend. Zoe Knight, a struggling romance writer, has sworn off men for good. At least...the ones in real life. Once a believer in a happily ever after, she now curbs her loneliness with the help of the best book boyfriends in literature - and there is no better man than Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy. So when she stumbles into a classic London bookshop and argues with the annoyingly attractive store owner, Nick, who refuses to sell romance novels, she decides to liberate him of a dusty copy of Pride & Prejudice abandoned on a top shelf. But this is no ordinary book. After reading from the pages, Zoe finds herself in a remarkable situation: she has accidentally summoned Mr. Darcy to the real world. Now, she's face-to-face with the man she's loved forever, and he's everything she dreamed he would be. Handsome? Check. Brooding? Check. Talks like he swallowed a thesaurus? Check and check. But even in all his regency perfection, can he ever be as good as in the novel? And if he's here, in her London apartment trying to figure out how to work a shower, what will happen to the literary world he came from? With Nick--the last man she could ever be prevailed upon to work with--urging her to send the fictional Darcy back to his own story, Zoe will have to decide what she really wants from a happy ending, before it's too late.

The Romance Revival
by Christina Lauren
Three years ago, scientist Emery Finch did something completely out of character: She got married. To Luca--the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering night in Vegas who made her laugh, made her dance, made her feel. But now, Emery is consumed by her top research, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge discoveries come to light. Until the unthinkable happens: A tragic accident takes Luca from her. Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule, using the classified technology she's developed to bring him back to life. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together...all of it is gone. It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it's her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won't waste it--because true love is always worth reviving.
