“The Bookbinder’s Guide to Love”
A witchy, witty, wickedly sexy romance about love, books, friendship and the unexpected connections that bind us together...
Bookbinding (verb): the art of creating something magical out of fabric, leather and paper.
As a lonely foster kid, Serafina Conte sought refuge in handmaking journals—and writing her wishes within their pages. Now, in the quirky new age store she shares with her two best friends, Sera's intentions have paid off. Her journals are in the spotlight—and rumored to manifest great things. Whether it's witchy skills, real magic or not, Sera's finally ready to be the leading lady of her life story...
Until her plot hits a twist.
After the death of her mentor, Ford Sitwell, all the loneliness and insecurity of her past returns. The only balm is the box of antique books he left to her. But Ford's suspicious brooding grandson, Wes, is ready to think the worst of her—and get his grandfather's books back! The first part doesn't bother her. The second? Forget it. Sera won't give Wes the books so easily. But it's clear he's seeking something more, an emotional connection no book can replace. So, she offers a deal—work in her store for six weeks, and in return, she'll help him get closure by sharing memories of his late grandfather.
Yes, Wes seems grumpy, but actually he's hot...and maybe kind? Deep down? And when desire and vulnerability work their charms, Sera begins to wonder if the best stories aren't the ones you intend, but the ones that take you where you least expected...
“How to Charm a Nerd”
She's kind of a witch. He's definitely a nerd. And this Halloween they're letting their geek flags fly in this playful romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Katherine Garbera.
Dungeons and dragons and nerds, oh my...
The spooky season is almost here, and occultist and tarot reader Liberty Wakefield is already feelin' it. But ever since her sick nan muttered the name of Liberty's mysterious biological father, nothing feels normal. Not her friends, her family, nor the quirky shop she runs with her besties. So maybe it's time for Liberty to track down the father she's never met. Of course, that means getting a little help from the sexy nerd she's been not-so-secretly vibing since last summer...
Merle Rutland hasn't met anyone like the vivacious, bubbly Liberty. Part of him wishes he was more like her—instead of hiding his geekery from his hyper-athletic family. The other part just wants to pull the curvy redhead close, steal a kiss and hope he doesn't roll a critical fail.
Only, somewhere between Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, pumpkins and a few ridiculously hot sexy-times, Liberty and Merle discover their respective weirds might be a match. Yet as Halloween draws closer, it seems everyone has skeletons in the closet...and nothing spells disaster quite like being haunted by the past...
“Brewing Up a Bad Boy”
A tea shop owner good girl and a reformed microbrewer bad boy reunite in this wonderfully wicked love story.
Sometimes the second sip is sweetest.
In the cozy town of Birch Lake, tea shop owner Poppy Kitchener thought she'd left her mistakes, and her failed marriage, in the past. But when her ex-husband, Alistair Miller, turns up—as charming and irritatingly handsome as ever—those old feelings float to the surface. To top it off, he has a puzzling proposition: pretend they're still married for his cousin's wedding in exchange for a lucrative business deal with his family.
Easy enough, right? After all, this could be Poppy's last chance to get closure, grow her business and use Alistair's knowledge of microbrewing to help her finish that winning recipe for the tea competition.
But even after all this time, he still knows how to make her laugh. And he's changed in ways that make Poppy wonder about the man he's become... Can she trust this new Alistair with her heart, or will a second chance brew up disaster?
