Logan Trahan is one of the French Quarter’s hottest bartenders. A single, charming, sexy southern boy who’s proud to pour the best Pimm’s Cup in town. Yes, that’s his biggest accomplishment. So what? Dana Doucet is a widowed mom of two who’s doing it all. And doing it well, thank you very much. But she had a moment — okay, an entire night — of weakness and gave in after, ironically, nine months of Logan’s naughty flirtations. And a couple of those Pimm’s Cups. It was just one night, but now they’re stuck with each other forever. Or at least for the next eighteen years, eight months, and one week. Not that she’s counting. Well, this is definitely big. But there’s no way it’s going to be easy.

A hot, funny brother’s best friend rom com… with sugar on top! She's his best friend's little sister. He's known her all his life. He's practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point. Then she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her V-card. Okay, that was a surprise. Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no. To say that he didn't handle it well would be a massive understatement. Almost as massive as the amount of work he's going to have to do now to convince her that he wants her. Forever. Right after he tells her that he's bought the company that's her bakery’s biggest competitor. Maybe if he tells her he’s in love with her first, that will help sugarcoat the whole we're-rivals-in-business-now thing. So, first "I'm in love with you", then "take off your clothes", then "I'm now your business adversary". Piece of cake.

A slow burn second-chance rom com! She broke his heart ten years ago. Now he's back -- and her new boss. And she might still be semi in love with him. But that’s no problem, right? They can keep it professional. Until her grandmother gets involved. She’s thrilled to think that Whitney and Cam are still in love. And invites him to move in with her…and Whitney. Of course, Whitney can handle that too. Yeah, everything is fine. Just fine. Until Cam makes it clear that he’s all in. Having him back is very sweet, but can she really have it all? Or will it all crumble around her?

A friends-to-lovers romance that will make you melt. Oliver’s a dreamer who is always ready for the next big adventure. Piper’s the steady one who keeps his feet on the ground. He’s wildly successful, thanks to her always being there to catch him when he leaps before he looks. But she wants more. While he’s as clueless as ever. So she just gave her two weeks notice. Ollie doesn’t know how he’ll survive without Piper. So for the next two weeks, he’ll be sticking to her like the marshmallows on the s’mores she loves so much. But does he want her as his assistant... or is there a sweeter spot in his life for the woman who's always had his back--and possibly even his heart?

Paige Asher likes her men the way she likes her coffee: hot, slightly sweet, and only to-go. The hot friend-of-a-friend she had a scorching single night with was just about perfect — tall, rugged, with a sexy drawl… and on the road out of town by six a.m. the next morning. Long before her mom could start picking out wedding flowers. But now she can’t stop thinking about the Louisiana boy. His texts make her smile and she suddenly has a craving for gumbo all the time… hot and spicy and far from home. Mitch Landry had no idea Iowa would be so hospitable to a visitor. He knew the Midwest had a reputation for friendliness but his welcome gift — a sassy, sweet blond who is as no-strings-attached as he is — was a dream come true six months ago. But why is he still texting her? And why did he jump at the chance to come back to Iowa? And why is he so annoyed by her phobia to commitment this time? And why is he pretty sure leaving Paige this time is going to be one of the hardest things he’s ever done? Damn, is this what falling in love feels like? Oh, fu… fudge. * a cross-over between the Hot Cakes & Boys of the Bayou series * a prequel to Boys of the Bayou Book #6 Four Weddings and a Swamp Boat Tour

This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky. Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher’s idea of romance. But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, “I’m rich. We should just get married,” sounds a whole lot more swoony. Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She’s a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger. Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity. So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk--not a euphemism--made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea. They’ll just play house and make some whoopie--pies, of course--for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism. But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there’s no recipe to follow when it comes to love.

A Cinderella story with a hot boss so charming even a fairy godmother couldn't do better. Everyone thinks Dax Marshall is a prince of a guy. And he’s definitely charming. But Jane has enough going on without adding a torrid fling with the boss to her life. Between her father’s illness, her wicked-ish stepmother, her little sister’s teenage drama, and the co-workers who depend on her---she can’t handle another mess. No matter how tempting and gorgeous the mess may be. Or how messy he wants to get with her. Dax has spent his life being very serious about only one thing: proving you can be successful while still having a helluva good time. But he’s just met the one woman who might break his I-can-charm-anyone streak. She’s actually taking him seriously...and she seriously thinks they have nothing in common and can’t be together. Maybe he’s the one who needs a new view of happily ever after. It’s time to stop forking around.
