Evvie Drake Starts Over

In a small town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth “Evvie” Drake rarely leaves her house. Everyone in town, including her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and she doesn’t correct them. In New York, Dean Tenney, former major-league pitcher and Andy’s childhood friend, is struggling with a case of the “yips”: he can’t throw straight anymore, and he can’t figure out why. An invitation from Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button.

When Dean moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie’s house, the two make a deal: Dean won’t ask about Evvie’s late husband, and Evvie won’t ask about Dean’s baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken–and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. But before they can find out what might lie ahead, they’ll have to wrestle a few demons: the bonds they’ve broken, the plans they’ve changed, and the secrets they’ve kept. They’ll need a lot of help, but in life, as in baseball, there’s always a chance–right up until the last out.

Still Into You

Two exes reunite for a make-or-break interview that will either bring them back together … or drive them apart forever.

But the article Dax wants and the salacious tell-all Sloane’s editor is expecting are two completely different stories. And as old feelings resurface, Sloane’s journalistic integrity hangs in the balance.

Give Me Butterflies

A swoony, steamy, STEM romance in which two curators at a science museum—a handsome but grumpy astronomer and an anxious but sunshine-y entomologist—realize they are the perfect match. Equal parts nerdy banter and fiery tension, it’s perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Tessa Bailey.

Millie was never one to take the expected path. She’s an entomologist who loves her job as a natural science curator, inspiring museum visitors every day. It’s her dream to take a larger role in the planning of her department, so when a director position opens up, she is determined not to let anything distract her from her goals. Especially her grumpy coworker with his permanent scowl, electric blue eyes, and nerdy astronomy ties.

. . . Not that she’s spent much time noticing any of those things.

Finn doesn’t mean to glare at everyone, but he’s juggling his role at the museum, navigating the grief of losing his sister, attempting to make his nieces smile, and trying not to ruin dinner for the fifth night in a row. He can’t afford to let anything slip, and certainly doesn’t need anything more on his plate. Millie literally stumbling into him with her bright smile and sunny optimism, is the last thing he needs.

They want nothing to do with each other. But with Finn on the interview committee, avoidance is impossible. And Millie soon realizes it’s one thing when a job is on the line. It’s quite another when it’s her heart.

Written in the Stars

Oliver Jacoby is the star left winger of the Berkeley Shore University hockey team. He’s famously known for his skill on the ice, his easygoing charm, and a protective streak that runs bone-deep, especially when it comes to the people he cares about.

Ryan Abrams is a quieter presence on campus, easy to spot in his vintage 1950s style—from the clothes he wears to the music drifting from his dorm room. But beneath the old-soul exterior, his true escape has always been the stars above him.

A hockey star and a stargazer might seem like an unlikely pair, but Oliver and Ryan are anything but strangers. Years ago, they were childhood neighbors, inseparable in the way only kids can be. Until a military reassignment tore Ryan away from his best friend and left their relationship suspended in silence.

Now, reunited by chance at Berkeley Shore University, the distance between them feels both enormous and paper-thin. Ryan is unsure of whether their bond can survive the weight of lost years, and Oliver is determined not to let Ryan slip away a second time.

As old memories resurface and new ones take shape, what begins as a hesitant reconnection quickly becomes something deeper and undeniable. And this time, no amount of meddling by the Ice Queen is going to matter. Because Oliver and Ryan’s love story has already been written in the stars.
