A Fated Mates Best Romance Book of 2024! Meet Cole Sanderson: 54-year-old drummer, brand new grandpa, Madigan's best friend, charismatic golden retriever, phenomenal flirt, and your new book boyfriend. It’s official, Mira Harlow has finally lost it. Between running her small-town bakery, parenting her 14-year-old son, and taking care of her mom, she’s a stretched-thin mess. But kissing a total—and very sexy—stranger before begging him to be her date to Ashley and Madigan’s wedding just so her ex won’t see how lonely she really is? That’s a new level of chaos, even for her. The last thing drummer Cole Sanderson expects when he drives into the small ski town of Red Falls, MT is to score a date to his best friend’s wedding. But since his life in Seattle is stagnating, when the gorgeous, green-eyed bakery owner propositions him to be her long-distance boyfriend, stirring his punk-shenanigans roots to their core, he doesn’t even hesitate to tell her, “Hell yes!” Mira hopes for a fun night with her fake date, but when their wedding weekend turns into a genuine connection, when Cole returns to Seattle and she tries to go back to her normal life, she can’t help but wonder if she missed out on something real. But Cole isn’t done with her yet, and when he finds his way back to Red Falls, she’ll have to decide what’s more important, holding down her world, or taking a risk, embracing the chaos, and maybe even falling in love. Lips Like Sugar is book 2 in the Bluebird Basin Romance series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. This story features two main characters in their fifties, lots of laughs, plenty of open-door steam, and so many butterflies. Content notes: Living with and caring for a parent with mild cognitive impairment, addiction, relapse, an unhealthy ex, grown men deeply in their feels, strong friendships, conversations about love languages, and an absurd amount of Say Anything references, including a steamy riff on the airplane seatbelt sign scene…

Marisa Castilla’s life is in need of a rewrite. Her ex-boyfriend/boss just fired her, the guest room she’s occupying is about to be taken over by a newborn, and she’s drowning in student loan debt. Swallowing her pride, she reaches out to her estranged father and makes the temporary move to Red Mountain, leaving behind her beloved city and corporate ambitions. Transitioning to being a lowly reporter for her father’s small town newspaper is a culture shock, and constantly bumping into Ethan Ledger, her less-than-friendly neighbor, who also happens to own the vineyard cottage she’s staying in, doesn’t make things easier. Ethan Ledger recently assumed the role of CEO of his family’s wine empire. An anxious over-thinker, he wears a grumpy facade like armor. Still adjusting to running the family business, he can’t afford any distractions, especially not the beautiful one next door. He only has two rules for his new neighbor/tenant: no visitors and no expectations of friendship. But when Marisa breaks through his tough exterior, friendship soon blooms into late-night texts and telenovela marathons. Feelings develop and lines blur, and Ethan is prepared to break every rule he’s ever had for Marisa. However, an enticing offer for her dream job back in the city clashes with Ethan’s roots in Red Mountain. Sparks fly and wine flows between the most unlikely pairing, but sometimes the rarest blends are the most satisfying.

Together, this mismatched duo must navigate secret passages, buried grudges, and rising terror to unmask the killer before it's too late...

Sixty years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
