Wilde Flame (Love is a Cowboy Book 3) by Elliott, Kelly <— SMALL TOWN ROMANCE!! “…From New York Times bestselling author, Kelly Elliott, comes a new small town, family saga series. Wilde Flame is book three in the Love is a Cowboy series. Each book is a stand alone book, but the author highly suggests you read the books in order for a better reading experience. When I moved to River Falls, Colorado, falling for the town’s broody, tight-lipped cowboy was not part of the plan. Yet somehow, every run-in with Caden Wilde turns into a battle of sharp words and stolen glances. We argue like we’re at war, but my pulse never gets the memo. He’s stubborn. Infuriating. Impossible. And the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen. When a twist of fate forces us to spend a few days alone together, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur...”
The Marriage Clause: A Billionaire Marriage of Convenience Romance (The Kauffman Billionaire Series Book 1) by King, Kenna <— MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE!! “…A swoony, forced proximity, marriage-of-convenience romance — all the angst, all the steam, and a guaranteed HEA. Book one of the Kauffman Billionaire series. For six months, I’ve made coffee for the most insufferable billionaire in Seattle. Everett Kauffman is six-foot-two of custom suits and ice — a man who’s called me redundant to my face and never once bothered to learn how I take my own coffee, let alone how he takes his. What he doesn’t know is how badly I need this job. And after accidentally eavesdropping on his conversation with his brother… I know too much about something I shouldn’t. The trust. The deadline. The clause. If Everett Kauffman, the oldest son of a billion-dollar empire, doesn’t marry by his thirty-fifth birthday, every Kauffman heir loses it all — billions, businesses, the family name — EVERYTHING He has three weeks to find a bride and I have something to save myself. So I come up with a terrible, perfect, completely insane idea...”

For fans of Amanda Weaver, Simone Soltani, Lauren Asher, Hannah Grace, and Sarah Adams. So what if she’s crushing on a race car driver? That doesn’t mean it’s love at first lap.

Free-spirited travel influencer Hannah Spencer has spent five years touring the country in her vintage van, alone save for her hulking Great Dane, Dude. Until an unexpected inheritance from her pops has Hannah thinking about putting down roots in Cape Split, North Carolina, where she’s the new owner of a worse-for-wear seaside beach house.
