  Can the most awkward "Meet Cute" lead to something real? 
  When Selah Moreno's father unexpectedly dies, she abandons her dream job as an airline pilot to helm her family's struggling hot air balloon business. While piloting is in Selah's blood, the pressure of being everyone's rock leaves little room to breathe. It's no wonder she gets caught up in the daydream of flirting with a handsome potential client . . . until she finds out he's booking a proposal flight. 
  Smith Rock park ranger Dex Westerly wants to take his relationship to the next level, but nothing goes right. His proposal is rejected and a rogue wind tips the basket upon landing, sending the pretty and curvaceous balloon pilot into his lap where she makes an ill-timed joke, increasing his humiliation. 
  Months later, Dex and Selah bump into each other and bond over business struggles. Dex proposes a marketing partnership to promote her balloon tours while raising funds for the park's new wildlife rescue program. Sparks fly between them, and when a promotional social media post goes viral, they're pushed into a pretend whirlwind romance that starts to feel too close to love.

  Frog - And Other Essays

  A new collection of evocative personal essays from one of America’s most beloved nonfiction writers, Anne Fadiman. 
   
  In Frog, Anne Fadiman returns to her favorite genre, the essay, of which she is one of our most celebrated practitioners. Ranging in subject matter from her deceased frog, to archaic printer technology, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley, these essays unlock a whole world—one overflowing with mundanity and oddity—through sly observation and brilliant wit. 
   
  The diverse subjects of Frog are bound together by the quality of Fadiman’s attention, and subtly, they come to form a slantwise portrait of the artist, a writer dedicated to chronicling the world as it changes around her, in ways small and large, as time passes.

  Neri Germaine, a beguiling mature and scratch golfer, joins the Golf Match dating app in hopes of finding a suitable partner - on the course, and off. When she befriends Charlie Barlowe, the embittered young greenskeeper who has given up the game, she begins to schedule her dates around his Friday lunch, so she can tease him with the salacious details of her Golf Match encounters. 
  Inextricably drawn to her, Charlie assumes the problematic role of confessor and confidant, knowing Neri will never accept him as her Golf Match. And when Joe Langella, the Club Champion and a champion womanizer, inserts himself into the succession of hopeful suitors, things get even worse for Charlie. Joe is a threat - not just because he has set his sights on Neri, but because of the unsavory arrangement Charlie has made with him - an arrangement that could destroy the last bit of respect the members and staff have for Charlie, and that he has for himself.
