One woman must learn to love again with the help of her supper club friends and the man next door in this delightful enemies-to-lovers small-town romance.

The best meals. The perfect company. And just enough sparks to make it complicated . . .

Serenity Wheeler’s Supper Club is all about getting together with great friends, incredible food, and a whole lot of dishing—not for hooking up. Still, Serenity knows inviting her friend’s brother to one of her dinners is just good manners, but the ultra-fine, hazel-eyed Gabriel Cunningham has a gift for saying the wrong thing at the really wrong time. Especially when it comes to her cooking.

Gabriel isn’t quite sure how they got off on the wrong foot, but something about Serenity makes him nervous. Maybe it’s because he’s new to the small-town vibe. Maybe it’s because the woman is so gorgeous that he can’t think straight. Or maybe it’s because there’s an attraction between them he can’t seem to shake.

Though refreshments and camaraderie may be the supper club’s mantra, Serenity and Gabriel know there’s more between them than just sharing delicious meals. But she can’t let herself fall for Gabriel. Because while cooking with love is one thing, trusting it is quite another…

In this page-turning new mystery series, fraternal twins Keaton and Koby will pull double duty when they take down a killer while preparing to open their new bookstore and soul-food café, Books & Biscuits.

When Koby Hill and Keaton Rutledge were orphaned at age two, they were separated, but their unbreakable connection lingered. Years later, they reunite and decide to make up for lost time and capitalize on their shared interests by opening up a well-stocked bookstore and cozy soul-food café in the quaint Pacific Northwest town of Timber Lake. But this new chapter of their lives could end on a cliffhanger after Koby’s foster brother is found murdered.

The murder, which occurred in public between light-rail stops, seems impossible for the police to solve. But as Keaton and Koby know, two heads are always better than one, especially when it comes to mysteries. With just a week to go before the grand opening of their new café, the twins will use their revitalized connection with each other to make sure this is the killer’s final page.

From contemporary fiction author, S.M. Grady, comes a cozy romance novella about the trials of love, heartbreak, and second chances.

Kristen was heartbroken when she realized that her long-term boyfriend, Nick, never planned to marry her. Refusing to wallow in despair, she picked up the pieces and moved on faster than anyone expected—or approved of. Now, happily married to Isaac and enjoying her new life, a bizarre medical problem keeps thrusting her into the past and under a pile of memories best left untouched.

Isaac is doing his best to be patient. He has loved Kristen from the moment they met, but after two years of marriage, he still feels like there’s something holding her back. No matter what he tries, he can’t seem to bridge the distance between them. He can’t help but question if she’ll ever truly break free of the past and embrace their future together.

Nick knows that he blew it when he let Kristen go, but the last thing he wants to do is stand in the way of her newfound happiness. She moved on and he intends to do the same. He’s ready to accept that he’s lost her for good, until a frantic phone call leads to a night neither one of them can forget. Now it’s up to him to prove that what they shared is worth a second chance. Hopefully he’s not too late.
