  In this charming new rom-com from Jenny L. Howe, a young woman who's fed up with dating challenges her family and friends to set her up on ten dates, but gets more than she bargained for when her best friend adds himself to the roster.
   
  Dating as a plus-size woman has been exhausting for Haleigh Berkshire. Sure, she's only twenty-five, but she's been doing it for a decade, and she's beginning to think it's time for a sabbatical. It doesn't help that she's been madly in love with her best friend, Jack, for years--but one disastrous weekend in college taught her the hard way that they'll never be more than friends.
   
  With her sister's engagement party fast approaching, and her friends and family nagging her about a plus-one, Haleigh and Jack do what they do best: scheme. Haleigh agrees to let her friends and family set her up with ten men or women--and she's sure that, once none of them prove to be good matches, her loved ones will finally let her fade into romantic retirement in peace.
   
  To her surprise, some of Haleigh’s dates go better than expected, and for the first time in forever, she's actually having fun. Until Jack starts breaking all the rules they’d made to mend their friendship in college. He produces a laundry list of flaws for everyone she likes, crashes some of her nights out, and finally shocks her by throwing himself into the mix. Dating Jack has always been the dream, but Haleigh is afraid of the reality. Is it worth risking her best friend for something that may have never been meant to be?

  He’s out for revenge. She’s looking for an apology. 
  PR Manager Allison Kincaid is already struggling to cope with a chauvinistic boss, a narcissistic mother, and a ruthless loan shark, and now she has to add asshat ex-lover to the list. With her job on the line, she’s forced to beg her arrogant ex for a favor on behalf of the company. 
  That ex is Joe Gallahan, who turned his back on a lucrative but soul-sucking career to honor the memory of his brother and their dream to run an inn. Instead of joining him, his coworker-turned-girlfriend joined forces with the company instead, and together they screwed him over. 
  Now Joe welcomes the chance to get even. He offers Allison a deal—he’ll grant the favor if she helps renovate his motel from hell. Allison is irate, but stuck, and grudgingly trades in her designer duds for a pair of coveralls. Joe enjoys his revenge, until he realizes he’s enjoying having Allison around even more. And Allison finds herself wondering what it might be like to try again, with this not-so-self-involved version of Joe, who suddenly seems determined to fix more than his motel. 
  But renovations can be a risky business, and as Allison and Joe deal with more than one unexpected threat, they wonder if they ever will get that second chance. Or is the damage they’ve already done beyond repair?
