Hearts Unchained: An F1 Love Story by A.G. Starling

A fake relationship has two Formula One rivals drifting into dangerous territory in this enemies-to-lovers romance from the author of Checkered Hearts.

While Sir Leo Clarke is the winningest racer in Formula One history, lately he’s been on a losing streak thanks to his rival team’s hotshot principal, Ceci Rivers. Leo doesn’t approve of Ceci’s brash methods . . . or the way she always manages to twist his words and turn his day upside down. Maybe that’s why he jumps at the chance to fluster her for a change.

Ceci knows she has a tendency to go for broke–something she’s never seen “Sir Stick” achieve, thanks to all that measured British stoicism. But then, an impromptu kiss absolutely rocks her world, and she starts to think there’s more to Leo than meets the eye.

When they strike an advantageous deal requiring them to pose as a couple, Leo and Ceci quickly lose sight of the line between ruse and reality. And as the season heats up both on and off the track, they find themselves racing full speed ahead into an actual relationship. But with so many red flags in their past, will they make it to the finish line?

Love on Lake Como: A Heart-Warming, Slow-Burn Romance about Second Chances and Self-Discovery. by Joy Skye

A new life, an old secret, and one unforgettable Italian summer.

Falling for him wasn’t part of the itinerary.

For Indie Summer, fleeing to Lake Como after walking away from her manipulative boyfriend feels like salvation.

With everything she owns crammed into a single suitcase, she heads to Italy to work a season at a luxurious villa with her twin sister, clinging to the hope that the picturesque lakeside escape might also bring her closer to their elusive father.

What she didn’t expect was that her curiosity about a reclusive actor’s villa would land her in hot water with his brooding bodyguard, Marco Rossi. Tall, dark and handsome, Marco is everything Indie should avoid, but she can’t seem to stay away.

As sun-soaked days stretch into glittering nights, Indie navigates demanding guests, long-buried family secrets, and more than a few glasses of Pinot Grigio. But the biggest challenge of all might be learning to trust again, especially with a man who guards not only a celebrity, but his own heart.

Escape to the sublime in this heart-warming, slow-burn romance set against the dreamy backdrop of Italy’s most iconic vista.

Of Ink and Alchemy: A Dark Romance (Deluxe Limited Edition) by Sloane St James

All’s fair in love and war at a tattoo parlor–until a stalker enters the picture–in this deliciously dark romance from the author of the Lakes Hockey series.

Even before her father’s death, Kelly Everhart always knew Logan Teller was someone she could rely on. Now he’s taken over the Black Rabbit tattoo shop and brought her along with him. And while Kelly still finds her former crush and current mentor hot as hell, they’re firmly in the friendzone. Or so she thinks . . .

Logan’s been biding his time, but he’s no longer leaving anything to chance–not since Kelly started getting serious with her boring boyfriend. And as Logan manipulates the situation and sabotages the couple every chance he gets, Kelly starts to notice all the ways her Jason doesn’t quite measure up to the man who’s always been such a huge part of her life.

When her relationship with Logan suddenly goes from playful and platonic to strictly sinful, Kelly can’t stop herself from falling head over heels. But just as things are heating up between them, she starts receiving anonymous messages with information only a few–including Logan–could possibly know about her. Can she trust him after all?

Of Ink and Alchemy is a dark romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content featuring explicit scenes.

The Only Catch by Jess Turner

She came to cook. Love was never on the menu.

After a public meltdown torpedoes her culinary career, chef Chloe Foster reluctantly agrees to a hush-hush job as private chef to Hollywood’s clean-eating heartthrob, Charlie Davis. But instead of sunny L.A., she’s shipped off to a remote island off the coast of Maine… in the dead of winter.

Stuck in a sprawling mansion with a moody A-lister who barely eats, Chloe’s hoping to keep her head down, cook her heart out, and regroup. But Charlie turns out to be more complicated–and more tempting–than the tabloids suggest. Then there’s the rugged local lobsterman with a quiet strength and a wicked smile, who offers a different kind of heat.

With her career hanging in the balance and her heart pulled in two very different directions, Chloe must figure out what she really wants: the dream job that once defined her, or the messy, mouthwatering life that’s taking shape on the edge of the Atlantic.

The Only Catch is a delicious love story with a recipe for heartbreak, healing, and second chances–served with butter and a side of steam.

Glow Job by Kristen Bailey

A laugh-out-loud, escapist summer holiday rom-com, perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O’Leary and Sophie Kinsella.

Chloe needs a holiday. She’s invisible to her boss, overworked and burnt out. What she gets is a chaotic wellness retreat at a sun-drenched Ibizan villa, run by a man whose resemblance to Pedro Pascal and sublime cooking make up for seeming a bit out of his depth.

Ben has taken a sabbatical from his London restaurant, and is trying to turn his late uncle’s rundown, rustic villa into a mostly functioning retreat. He can wing the catering and count on the sunshine, but he hasn’t planned on Chloe: clumsy, brilliant, and so overworked and underappreciated it’s quietly heartbreaking.

As the week unfolds – complete with feral goats, beach raves, skinny-dipping and wedding-crashing – both of them begin to feel a glow that neither of them saw coming.

But real life is waiting for them both back in London. And real feelings are a lot harder to pack up than a suitcase.

Warm, fizzing with Kristen Bailey’s signature humour and full of genuine heart, Glow Job is the summer rom-com you’ll never want to end, but will devour in one sitting.
