Everyone deserves a happily ever after, that's why Jenna Murphy is fiercely proud of her romance-only bookstore, BookLove. With her pets by her side, she's content in her neat life, convinced that one day she'll find her person. Jenna helps Grandma with her groceries, runs the library's used book sale, and hands out water to the runners in the local 5K race. What's not to love? Sawyer Hall, a sharp-witted book blogger, has gained a reputation for her brutally honest takes. Fresh from a messy breakup, her posts have grown...snarkier than usual, and when she stumbles into Jenna's charming bookstore filled with "sappy fluff," she doesn't exactly hold back. Sawyer's suggestion that romance novels peddle unattainable dreams to the sad and lonely makes Jenna absolutely livid. But fate has a twisted sense of humor because a new neighbor is moving into the other half of Jenna's duplex and it's Sawyer Hall, because, of course it is. And Sawyer is gorgeous. And funny. And sort of makes Jenna swoon. So annoying. A witty, heartwarming enemies to lovers romance about falling for the girl next door that proves the best stories are the ones with endings we never see coming.
Opposites attract, and Riley Shaw stands no chance of resisting Hannah Kramer's magnetic pull. But opposites know just how to drive each other crazy... How it starts: Her best friend Kyle suggests Riley take a job at Poptacular, his grandmother's gourmet popcorn shop. Spending the summer mixing caramel and cheddar sounds like fun, right? Spoiler alert: It's not fun. Enter Kyle's little sister Hannah and her stubborn refusal to try any ideas that aren't her own. Their working styles are completely different. In short, she is infuriating. And hot. Why does she have to be hot? How it's going: Years have passed, and Riley's no longer a victim of her teenage hormones. She's a high-powered consultant who travels from city to city, helping struggling businesses. Distance weakens a magnetic field, and Riley doesn't think about Hannah Kramer. Not ever. So, when Kyle calls to say Poptacular is in trouble and on the brink of closing its doors, her first thought definitely isn't of Hannah. No, heading back to her hometown is not on her bingo card. But for Poptacular's co-owner, popcorn is Hannah's whole life, and Riley can't stand to see her dream fail. How it ends: With the Great (hot and buttery) Popcorn Romance, of course.
Meet Lily Chambers-the hugely successful, book-tour loving, swoon-inducing romance writer at the pinnacle of her career. At least for now.

For romance. For life. How can she not feel like a fraud after being on her own for years? Hoping to shake things loose, Lily's BFF suggests she spend some time in one of the most romantic cities in the world: Rome. If the architecture, the history, and the food don't inspire her, nothing will. Or it would, if Lily was able to look away from Marina Troiani, her witty, smart, and unassumingly beautiful Italian tour guide. Marina makes Lily feel something. Finally. Slowly the words start flowing. But the age gap and continent that separates them make starting a new chapter together impossible. What's even worse than torpedoing your career? Falling in love only to have your own HEA just out of reach.
