Not the Rebound Guy by Abby Knox

A freshly broken heart sends the overworked Eliza back home to rural Illinois for some rest, relaxation, and bonding with her grandmother. The one-on-one time she planned for quickly takes a turn when she discovers that her generous, feisty Grams has another unexpected houseguest.

On Grams’ insistence, a doting beekeeper neighbor, Garrett, has taken up temporary residence on the back porch of her tiny farm house, after falling on hard times. This arrangement is a little too close for comfort for Eliza, but when the two of them band together to help Grams keep up with orders for her famous strawberry jam, all kinds of stickiness ensues.

Texas Strong: A Sweetgrass Springs Story by Jean Brashear

From New York Times and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear, another emotional story set in beloved Sweetgrass Springs, Texas…

The most reviled man in Sweetgrass Springs, Tank Patton lives on the razor’s edge of control, locked down and solitary by choice, keeping himself apart the only way he knows to avoid the legacy of violence handed down from his father. When he meets a young mother in dire straits, he gives her and her winsome children the immediate help they need, intending to give her wide berth from then on.

Chrissy Daniels desperately hopes she can make a new life for herself and her children in Sweetgrass Springs, and that means being strong and self-reliant, no more leaning on men who are losers or worse—yet she finds herself touched by the bone-deep loneliness she senses in the man everyone has warned her is a brute and not to be trusted.

The Way With You: A College Romance by Anne Mercier

Stone drama. That’s how I phrased it and that’s how it went down.

Sebastian comes over to apologize and all hell ends up breaking loose. At least I found out the truth. Cam just wants to “fix” me—well, and fuck me. I don’t even understand how someone can pretend to care about someone like he did with me but clearly have their own agenda.

Yes, I do understand. It’s Cam. He’s always been my bully. He’s always wanted to hurt me. I thought I understood the reasoning but now I realize I don’t think I have a clue.

I was starting to fall for him. God. How stupid am I? I believed him. But I find out all too quickly that all he wants is a fuck buddy. He wasn’t honest about it. But I didn’t listen to my intuition, and, God, I should have. If I had, I wouldn’t be in this situation right now.

What situation, you might ask.

The one where I barely see Cameron.
The one where Sebastian’s become my best friend.
The one where I keep myself busy with studying.
The one where even Alexa, Cam’s sister, can’t even come up with a logical argument for him.

It’s more than drama. It’s destruction, and I’m collateral damage.

A damaged soldier bound to a musician with a past.

They have never spoken. But for two years, the haunted soldier has attended Natalie’s concerts at Maida Gardens, bringing her a little self-belief and a few harmless daydreams.

Captain Lord Richard Gorse, wounded in body and soul, finds the beautiful harpist’s music is the only thing that soothes his troubled spirit. Until, one evening, he finally has something to say to her.

Unfortunately, it is also the evening that Natalie’s past catches up with her. The man to whom she was once engaged will go to any lengths to bring her back under his thumb.
