I want him again and I'm ready to break all my rules to get him.ROSE: My best friend swears the easiest way to get over my cheating ex is to get under the gorgeous, arrogant, and dominant man who held me up against the wall at Rapture and kissed me until I forgot my name.

I Will Always Love You (Maybe) -...

Dana Hawkins

"What's worse than regretting a one-night stand? Being snowed in with her.

Since losing her wife six years ago, Colby has perfected the hermit lifestyle: secluded Minnesota cabin, golden retriever, weekly cupcake run. Zero complications. Until a chaotic, pink-haired vet tech arrives for a house call and - in one reckless moment - Colby lets someone in.

It was supposed to be one night. Then the blizzard hit.

Josie is a serial hobbyist who's perfected the art of avoiding rejection. Pilates, painting, pickleball - anything but feelings. So being trapped in a cabin with no distractions and a gorgeous woman who clearly regrets last night? Personal nightmare.

But a lot can happen in a week. Stolen glances turn into lingering eye contact. Awkward silences become late-night conversations. And when the snow stops, both of them have to face the question they've been avoiding: what if the biggest risk isn't opening your heart to someone, it's letting her walk away when the roads finally clear?

A tender and emotional romance about finding love when (and where) you're absolutely not looking for it. Perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston.

Beautiful Mistakes

Felice Stevens

Wolf 
Desire: What Wolf struggles with from the moment he sees Spencer Hawkins the first day of college. 
Fear: Not a word in Wolf’s vocabulary except when it comes to facing his feelings for Spencer. 
Lust: What he gives in to that changes everything between them. And his life forever. 
Denial: Something Wolf is all too familiar with—denying who he is and who he wants. It’s better this way, even if it’s tearing him and his friendship apart. 
Spencer: 
Hide: What Spencer does best. He hides from everyone, especially himself and the crazy attraction to Wolf he can’t shake. Walls: Spencer throws them up to protect himself from all the hurts life heaps on him—his mother’s death, his father’s indifference, and the men who share his bed and walk away. 
Betrayal: Not by just anyone. By Wolf. The one man he can’t forget. Or forgive. 
Want: Spencer wants to live in the moment, but he can’t stop thinking about that night. And it doesn’t help that he and Wolf keep knocking heads…and locking lips. 
Love: What those two idiots need to realize is happening between them. What started out as their ugliest regret could end up being the most beautiful mistake they ever made.
