I'm Not the Hero! Volume 1

Summary

Once upon a time, there was a middle-aged Japanese salaryman, a schoolgirl, and a speed demon of a truck driver. The man tried to rescue the girl from the truck, and... Well, I bet you can guess what happened next.
 
That man was me, by the way—“was” being the operative word, because the next thing I knew, I came to inside the world of my favorite game, Braves and Blades, as Rex Tauren. Rex is the most powerful character in the early stages of BB, a level 50 jack-of-all-trades who’s got tons of class skills and one huge drawback—Rex is only a minor character, so past the tutorial stage, his growth rate tanks and he’s all but useless.
 
In other words, my quest is now to find BB’s true protagonist and dump all of this saving-the-world stuff on them. I just wanna kick back and... Hold up! Why does everyone keep calling me the hero?!

For so long, the Running M Ranch was my life. After my father died, I spent years funneling all my energy into ensuring its success.

Love and Limoncello

Ann Jagger

Some loves don't end. They simply wait. 
Years ago, Elena Whitmore left Sorrento with a broken heart. Now, grief and family obligations have brought her back to Italy, where she expects to help save a struggling business—not confront the life and love she left behind. 
Matteo DeLuca never quite recovered from Elena's departure. He buried himself in his family's distillery, determined to move forward. Unfortunately, the heart has never been particularly good at following instructions. 
And then there's Nonna Lucia. 
Armed with espresso, unwavering faith in her own judgment, and a complete disregard for subtlety, she's determined to help fate along. With a little assistance from Sister Carmela, whose dry wit is matched only by her reluctant participation, Lucia may just stir up more than a batch of limoncello. 
Against the sun-drenched beauty of the Amalfi Coast, Elena and Matteo must navigate old wounds, family expectations, and the possibility that the love they once shared deserves another chance. 
Warm, witty, and full of heart, Love and Limoncello is a romantic dramedy about healing, rediscovering yourself, and finding the courage to come home. 
Because sometimes the sweetest things in life are worth waiting for. 
Includes very mild language.
