Title: What Happens at the Lake Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine Release Date: January 15, 2024 BLURB When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now. Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived. Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello. Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy. As time went on though, I started to notic...

Title: What Happens at the Lake Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine Release Date: January 15, 2024 Take a sneak peek at WHAT HAPPENS AT THE LAKE. You know you want to... She smelled like damn summer. And it pissed me off. Plus, I was tired from a shitty night’s sleep. I’d tossed and turned thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no bra or underwear. Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?” “What?” “Are you always this grumpy in the morning?” “I’m not grumpy.” “No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.” “That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.” Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig. I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?” She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm move...

Title: The Summer Proposal Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: January 10, 2022 BLURB The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on. Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Or so I thought… Until my real date arrived. Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date. I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. But my real blind date and I had no connection. So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. Disappointed again, I decided to leave a...

I’m meeting someone, so maybe I should wait.” He rapped his knuckles against the bar. “Good enough. I’ll keep my eye out and stop back over when I see someone join you.” But as he started to walk away, I reconsidered. “Actually!” I raised my hand like I was in school. He turned around with a smile and arched a brow. “Change your mind?” I nodded. “I’m about to meet a blind date, so I wanted to be polite, but I think I could use something to take the edge off.” “Probably a good idea. What are you drinking?” “A pinot grigio would be great. Thank you.” He came back a few minutes later with a hefty pour and leaned his elbow on the bar. “So, blind date, huh?...

Title: The Aristocrat Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: August 30, 2021 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel. The one that got away. Every girl has one, right? Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer. From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit. Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo. That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them. Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town. Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me tha...
