She wants to make him Mr. Holiday. He wants to stay a certified Grinch. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a small-town spicy holiday romance about a guarded cowboy veterinarian and a Christmas-loving optimist who team up for a town holiday competition. Dr. Noah Lennox lives by three holiday rules—avoid his hometown, cheerful people, and Christmas itself. But when his beloved grandfather announces he’s retiring and handing the cherished sleigh-ride farm to either Noah or his slick cousin Stephen, the first rule goes out the window. Back home in Evergreen Falls, the veterinarian vows to fight for the farm that means everything to him. The problem is, the town doesn’t exactly welcome its resident Scrooge with open arms. Except for one very charming holiday enthusiast. Eloise Langston, a sunny tourism bureau hopeful, needs a win to land her dream job—and to pay the rent. Her holly jolly plan? Turn the broody, broad-shouldered grump into a festive front-runner to help the town’s Mr. Holiday Competition draw record crowds. Transforming a camera-shy cowboy vet into a small-town sweetheart isn’t exactly in her job description—but neither is falling for him. Soon, Noah and Eloise find themselves tangled in twinkle lights, fake kisses, and one very real attraction. But with the farm’s future at stake, Stephen’s scheming, and Eloise’s career on the line, there’s a blizzard of reasons to put their feelings on ice. Or will they fight to turn their holiday fling into forever under the mistletoe?

Dog trainer Chloe Rivers knows that recent impulsive one night stand was a mistake--especially now that the sexy stranger in question, Sawyer Dumont, turns out to be her new landlord at the town's newly opened doggy daycare.

Now the object of his memories is a jilted bride determined to make a new start. For Katie Madigan—who catches her groom kissing another woman just minutes before they head to the altar—there's nothing more apt than ditching the whole event for a drink at the bowling alley bar down the street. She's just about had enough of men altogether when in walks a deliciously charming local football hero, Harlan Taylor—the perfect distraction for Katie's heartbreak. Another drink turns into a one night stand with hunky Harlan. When he asks in the morning if they could get together again, how could she say no? But then Katie learns his football team just hired her yoga studio to teach the star player, which means Harlan is officially off limits. Trouble is, the more time Katie spends working with Harlan, the sexy single dad who dotes on his daughter, the more she's feeling things far too soon. There's no way this can end well, but tell that to her runaway heart.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I'm determined to give my brother's best friend the holiday he deserves. But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is¿ me?

"A Lauren Blakely book is a guarantee of a good time." --Meghan Quinn, New York Times bestselling author Grumpy meets sunshine with a Hollywood twist in this charming and fun small town romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely. I really don't need a bodyguard--I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee's sake! But I'm getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it's being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month. Correction: he's the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I'm trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me. Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he's leaving and I'm staying, and there's no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

Wanted: one hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous when you kiss me under the mistletoe at all the holiday parties. Bonus points if you make him cry. To my surprise my billionaire boss is more than up for the challenge of coming down the chimney as my holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one at a Christmas Eve wedding, where he's the best man and I'm the maid of honor. And since my ex is in the wedding party too, my boss and I team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season, including during the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding. But soon staying up late to string the best popcorn balls ever turns into a scorching night in his arms where the chestnuts aren't the only thing roasting on the open fire. Can all these winter wonderland nights seeking revenge turn into the real thing when we return to the office? Or are we destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year's?

The one unbreakable rule in the Man Code is this: no matter how beautiful, smart, and clever she is, do not fall in love with your best friend's woman. Yeah, so I screwed up big time when I fell for her. I might have let my sin of unrequited love slide, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life as vibrant as ever. And the cards are stacked against me once again. We're working together, and the last thing I want to do is mess up her life with a forbidden office romance now that she's finally got the fresh start she deserves.

A sexy, swoony falling-for-the-neighbor standalone romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely! Just my luck - my new next door neighbor is a unicorn. Yep, the British hottie is clearly a mythical man because - get this - he's a sexy, witty, charming, big-hearted single dad. Who, wait for it, wants to find Mrs. Right and get hitched. Darn shame I'm not on the market. I'm a single parent like him, and raising my teenage daughter is my top priority. Plus, falling for a guy who shares your property line is a line you shouldn't cross. Still, I'm an outgoing gal, so I do the neighborly thing and offer to be his dating insider. Surely, I can help this small town's most eligible bachelor ever navigate his way through all the fantastic single ladies eager to make his acquaintance. What could possibly go wrong in helping the dream guy next door find his one true love? So I set him up on one date, two dates, three dates -- and I'm about to find out exactly how dangerous my offer is.

It should be an easy rule to follow - don't bang your boss... But I didn't know who he was when I met him. And the first time I saw him, our connection sounded like the stuff of romantic legends -- that whole "their eyes locked across a crowded room" moment that turned into more. I didn't believe it. . . . until it happened to me. Fine, the charming, clever, sexy-as-sin guy in the tailored suit was only trying to buy the same Snoopy lunchbox (as a gift!), but still, our eyes totally locked, and my lady parts definitely tingled as we vied for the prize. Naturally, I did what any badass business woman would do. Negotiated for the lunchbox, then found my what-if guy online and made plans to see him the next night. One night only -- that was the deal we made. But one fantastic night had us both changing our minds in the morning. And making plans for another. Until I walked into the office to learn he just bought my company. And here's the biggest rule of romantic legends -- no matter what, don't bang your boss. Especially if you're already falling for him.

A sexy office romance meets accidentally-married-in-Vegas story! I swear I've been a good boss. And a good boss resists his sexy, smart and thoroughly charming assistant. But then, Natalie and I travel to Vegas for a job. Yeah, you've heard this one before. Bad news on the business front, drowning our sorrows in a few too many Harvey Wallbangers, and then she's telling me she's been crushing on me for months. Bam. All my resistance crumbles, and we're testing the strength of the Titanic slot machine at the Flamingo (don't ask). Before I can make her say "Oh God right there YES!" one more time, we're both saying the big yes at a roadside chapel in front of an Elvis impersonator. We'll just untie the knot in the morning, right? Easier said than done. Thanks to a paperwork snafu, we fly back to New York as Mr. and Mrs. Off-Limits. The trouble is, I don't know how to keep my hands off my wife. Or to stop romancing her. Learning what makes her tick. But the more we fall back into each other's arms, the more I don't want an ex-wife.

From the New York Times Bestselling author of MISTER O and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy... I've been told I have quite a gift. Hey, I don't just mean in my pants. I've got a big brain too, and a huge heart of gold. And I like to use all my gifts to the fullest, the package included. Life is smooth sailing.... Until I find myself stuck between a rock and a sexy roommate, which makes for one very hard...place. Because scoring an apartment in this city is harder than finding true love. So even if I have to shack up with my buddy's smoking hot and incredibly amazing little sister, a man's got to do what a man's got to do. I can resist Josie. I'm disciplined, I'm focused, and I keep my hands to myself, even in the mere five-hundred square feet we share. Until the one night she insists on sliding under the covers with me. It'll help her sleep after what happened that day, she says. Spoiler--neither one of us sleeps. Did I mention she's also one of my best friends? That she's brilliant, beautiful and a total firecracker? Guess that makes her the full package too. What's a man stuck in a hard place to do?

A forbidden romance with my brother's hockey-playing teammate wasn't on my to-do list when I moved across the country... I uprooted my quiet life for a new job in the city, not to spend my first evening here with a sexy stranger who rescues me when I'm locked out of my friend's apartment wearing nearly nothing. Then rescues me from an O drought. But the next morning, I learn the generous, filthy-mouthed man from last night is not only my brother's new hockey teammate. He's also - wait for it - my brand new roommate. The last thing I need is a complicated fling, and Wesley doesn't want to rock the team boat, so we agree to a friends-only rule. It's not easy though when the shameless flirt walks around the house shirtless. Or when he gives me heated looks that make my pulse pound. It's harder still to stay friendly when he offers me rides to work, pitches in at my library's fundraiser and takes care of me when I get hurt. He makes me feel seen in a way I've never experienced before. I don't know how long I can stick to our rules, especially the night Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he'd like to break them. Every single one.

I've spent the better part of eight years resisting my best friend's little sister. What's one more week? The hardest week ever when it includes a proposition to be her dating coach. Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with the bright, big-hearted Juliet before our lives went in different directions. Now, I'm the grumpy to her sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling. To make matters even harder, the woman I've been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week? Like hell I'll let her date other men. I'll coach her on three dates with me. But the second I take her out, I don't feel like her teacher. I feel like she's mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed. Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear - whether a man like me is worthy of her love. Even though I'm already head over heels for her.

One trip across Europe. Two arch enemies. And seven nights with only one bed in the room in a spicy new standalone romance from Lauren Blakely! The last person I want to be stuck with anywhere for one night, let alone seven, is the too-sexy-for-my-own-good Axel Huxley. I tried to work with the cocky grump once upon a time, but we're like vodka and good decisions. We don't play well together. Only now, our publishers are sending us on a joint book tour across Europe on an old-fashioned luxury train. And thanks to a booking snafu, I have to share a sleeper car with the man who's made a sport of infuriating me. You guessed it--there's only one bed. I'm not sure I can survive the next seven days and nights with my dangerously sexy enemy and all our fiery tension. Which explodes one night in a desperately needed hate bang. But the bigger plot twist is this - the more time we spend together, visiting the most romantic cities in Europe by day and discovering each other at night, the more I'm forced to face our past. To let go of the hurt. To see the man he's become. And when I do, I wonder if it's too late to write a new happy ending for us?

I swear I only asked one hot hockey-playing friend to give me romance lessons for the week, but three hockey stars volunteered... The post breakup plan was simple - escape from my toxic ex to a vacation rental and stay far away from men. But thanks to a booking snafu I'm accidentally sharing it with three hot hockey players. One's flirty, one's broody, one's a cheeky Brit, and they're all the most attentive men I've ever met. After a couple of glasses of champagne, I'm telling them about the contest my ex is running on his dating advice web site. The topic? What makes a great boyfriend, and I want to submit a column. All three offer to show me every single thing I've been missing in and out of bed. We make a deal for one week only. It's only for revenge, of course. I work for the other hockey team in the city so it'd be a big mistake to truly get involved with a rival, let alone three. Even though I melt under their touch. They show me what it means to be adored, cherished and romanced. But as the week ticks on, what started as revenge fast turns into me giving my heart to three men I can't have. Looks like I'm well and truly pucked.

Am I fake dating my best friend? Hear me out... So I'm throwing myself a breakup party, a glittery fete where I envision I'll lift a glass and celebrate being free and single again. What I actually do: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to my best guy friend that I'd really like to get back on the horse. But what I truly don't expect is Carter's answer - he volunteers as tribute. With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body it'd be no hardship for me to say yes, though I certainly don't want him to feel obligated to, um, service me, just because my failed, loveless marriage was a s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident pro football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, we make a deal to help each other out. Pretty soon, our public how to date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And I'm a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing. Can our friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since I'm suddenly longing for my best friend and there's nothing fake about my feelings...

A jilted book nerd, a plan for sweet revenge, and the two hockey stars who volunteer as her tributes... When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most - my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best. The VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city's two biggest NHL stars. I can't wait to snap selfies with my ex's idols and rub it in his face. Except, when I head out with the two hockey studs, they have something else in mind besides sweet revenge. Would I like to spend the night...with both of them? Talk about the VIP experience. That's what I get for one knee-weakening, sheet-grabbing night. In the morning, I plan to return to my bestie's house to crash on her couch with my dog. But when they learn what happened with my awful ex, they ask me to be their temporary roomie for the week. Oh, and one of them needs my help with his grumpy reputation. The other? Well, he wants me to be his fake date at an upcoming wedding. Looks like I'm about to get double pucked. Again. Double Pucked is a roomies to lovers, fake dating, image makeover, super spicy hockey rom com with a guaranteed why-choose style HEA! No swords cross. This story is perfect for fans of Lily Gold and Emily Rath!

This story is perfect for fans of spicy hockey romance!

Ever hear the story about the gal who got dumped with this parting shot? “And, maybe you need some lessons in the bedroom.” Sure, I wanted to shout at my ex: “You suck in bed too.” But I’m a lady. I didn’t say that. I do, however, share the whole sorry story over drinks to my best guy friend—the hockey star who’s been my bestie forever. And he’s suddenly intensely curious about these bedroom lessons. He’s so damn interested, he says, “I’d be willing to be your test subject.” If I say yes, it'll change our lifelong friendship in the next twenty-four hours…

Some men are just off-limits. Like your ex-boyfriend's father. But when I met the sexy, powerful older man shortly after my business school graduation, he was simply the seductive stranger I wanted to notice me, and he sure did. Fast forward a few months later, when my college ex - now a good friend - introduces me to the person he looks up to most...his father. The man I spent that one hot night with. I should stay far away from the commanding business mogul. But my ex and I are planning a charity fundraiser that involves late nights at his dad's penthouse in Manhattan. Nights where he can't stop looking at me with desire in his eyes that matches my own. I try to resist him, playing the good girl in the city...mostly. He's the perfect gentleman...until he comes knocking on my door and tells me exactly what he wants to do to me. And I say yes. Stealing nights with him like this is supposed to be wrong, but it feels so right. And when he saves the day to protect his son at the fundraiser, my heart wants him as much as my body does. Can we ever be more than just a tryst?

I've got a list of people I absolutely don't ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist's number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don't play well together. Only now, our publishers are sending us on a joint trip across Europe to mingle with our most devoted readers on an old-fashioned luxury train. And thanks to a booking snafu, we have to share a sleeper car. You guessed it--there's only one bed. I'm not sure I can survive the next seven days and nights with my dangerously sexy enemy and all our fiery tension. Which explodes one night in a desperately needed hate bang. But the bigger plot twist is this - the more time we spend together, visiting the most romantic cities in Europe by day and discovering each other at night, the more I'm forced to face our past. To let go of the hurt. To see the man he's become. And when I do, I wonder if it's too late to write a new happy ending for us?

Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man! In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase "super hot wingman," so I'd like to die now. Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami. Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let's-infuriate-each-other game. Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one. Sign me up. But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can't happen. Especially when I find out the real reason why... Contents Include: First times, a secret to do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in tuxes.

Promises I make to myself… 1. I won't stare at my sister's fiance's super hot best friend, even when he takes his shirt off at a dinner party. 2. I won't look him up online and check out photos from his professional soccer career. 3. And I definitely won't fantasize about him late at night. Oops. Broke all three. But in my defense, his abs and that arrogant smile are my catnip. Plus it's been a while. But no matter how sexy Asher St James is, I will never let on that he's at the top of a long list of things I want to do. And I keep that last promise. Well, mostly…
