Cover Designer: Aida
Releasing September 24, 2026
Jesse Clarkson has always held two things close to his heart -- hockey and his stepsister Belle.
Except the friendship that blossomed between the two over the last fifteen years has grown into more, and so does the protectiveness he feels for the woman who suffers from chronic migraines and who's been his number one fan for over a decade.
To the world, Belle is part of the family who rarely misses his games.
But to Jesse, she's his whole world.
And the two must fight the potential backlash of admitting their true feelings or risk losing each other for good.

HOSTILE TAKEOVER
Emma Lee Jayne
Release Date: September 16
Blurb:
Kitty Biedermann has three rules for a layover in a bar she already hates:
Don't stare at the gorgeous cowboy across the room
Don't go home with him
Never, ever see him again.
She breaks all three.
It doesn't matter. He's a stranger in a state she's sworn off for good, and by morning she'll never see him again.
Except two months later, the CEO of FMJ walks into her boardroom to buy out her family's failing jewelry empire. And he's the cowboy from the bar.
Ford Langley isn't broke. He isn't a stranger. And he's not going anywhere.
The only problem?
She's carrying his baby. She can't read a word of the contract he wants her to sign. And according to the tabloids, she's already a gold-digging disaster who can't run her own company.
Ford's job is to fix things that are broken and then move on. Kitty is the first thing he's ever wanted to keep.
Too bad "hostile takeover" was supposed to mean her company. Not her heart.

FLAG ON THE PLAY
T.L. Akermann
Release Date: August 9
Blurb:
After a messy breakup upends her carefully planned future, Odelia Miller moves in with her twin brother and his three college football roommates—trading quiet nights for chaos and way too much testosterone.
Her life is now one surprise after another. The biggest surprise at all? Griffin Halstead. The grumpy, brooding tight end who speaks in grunts, never smiles, and seems determined to hate her on principle alone.
Forced into close quarters, Odelia and Griffin clash over everything… until they don’t. Somehow not being able to stand each other quickly turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and accidental touches. What starts as an uneasy coexistence turns into something that’s impossible to ignore, something that feels an awful lot like love.
In a house full of craziness, laughter, and unexpected family, Odelia might just find that the one who challenges her the most is also the one who makes her feel like she’s home.
Perfect for readers who are fans of New Girl, Friends, and the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy—this book is guaranteed to make you laugh!

THE COMEBACK PLAN
S. Jones
Release Date: July 31
Blurb:
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
I’ve made it my job to ask tough questions, while he’s built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I can’t exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? It’s only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isn’t as simple as I thought.
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, I’m breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And that’s a problem, because I’m falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If I’m not careful, the story I’ve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.
The Comeback Plan is a sports romance featuring a confident quarterback and a feisty reporter, that’s packed with all the tension and heat you can handle with a guaranteed happily ever after.
