Book Description
A swoony contemporary romance from Adam Sass following a boy who is cursed to doom any romantic relationship—and the summer that changes everything. Grant Rossi is never getting a happily-ever-after. Ever since he was a kid and made a wish on his family’s iconic Wishing Rose, his romantic relationships have been cursed to end. Following his most recent (and extremely public) dumping, Grant is languishing in a hot Chicago summer, abandoning his beloved design projects to sink back into depression. But when his family suggests spending the summer helping his aunt and uncle refurbish their beautiful but rundown B&B and vineyard—the home of the Wishing Rose that changed everything for him—Grant decides to accept. Maybe he can finally find a way to recover his creative spark...and break his curse. But things at the vineyard are not what Grant expects. The place is in almost total disrepair, and—even worse—the person his relatives hired to help is his former childhood crush, Ben—the first boy who broke his heart. As their chemistry sparks and the summer heats up, the wedge between them can’t be ignored. But while they race to restore the B&B in time for the beloved local rose festival, grumpy but lovable Ben starts to break through Grant’s carefully crafted defenses. Can Grant find a way to overcome his curse and open his heart, even when it’s broken?

Book Description
A charming YA rom-com perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and What If It’s Us. Micah Summers runs a popular Instagram full of drawings of his numerous imaginary boyfriends (ninety-nine so far)—though he's never had a real boyfriend before. But when a meet-cute with Boy 100 goes wrong, Micah embarks on a Prince Charming-like quest throughout Chicago to find true love—for real this time. Will Boy 100 be the One? Micah is rich, dreamy, and charming. As the “Prince of Chicago,”—the son of local celebrity sports radio host known as the King of Chicago—he has everything going for him. Unfortunately, he’s also the prince of imaginary meet-cutes, since he’s too nervous to actually ask boys out. Instead, Micah draws each crush to share on Instagram with a post about their imaginary dates. Ninety-nine “boyfriends” later, his account is hugely popular, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Boy 100. So is Micah. He’s determined that Boy 100 will be different. This time, Micah will sweep the boy off his feet, for real! So when Micah flirts with a hot boy on the L who’s wearing a vegan leather jacket and lugging a ton of library books, he is sure this is Boy 100. But right before he can make his move and ask for the boy’s number, the guy rushes off the train, leaving behind his pumpkin-embroidered jacket. The jacket holds clues to the boy’s identity, so Micah and his friends set off on a quest to return it. Along the way, Micah will discover that the best relationships aren’t fairy tales. In fact, the perfect fit—and true love—might be closer than he thinks.

Book Description
The honor of your presence is requested at the Love Barn... Welcome to Ransom, Texas, where people love big. Dive into the Lively family as they navigate romance, family, and community in this box set featuring the novels: Give Me Back My Man, Summer of Love, and Party Out Of Bounds. Give Me Back My Man Scarlett Lively lives for love. Helping her cousins establish their historic barn as a wedding venue and designing magical ceremonies has finally given her life purpose. But her heart is still off-limits. At least until she falls for the dreamiest man she's ever seen. The chemistry is off the charts and his toe-curling kisses leave her wanting more. There's just one problem. He's a client. Jilted groom Cole Odell moved his whole life to the small, Texas town of Ransom for a bride who left him high and dry. He's used to being alone and history has taught him small towns aren't kind to men with sordid pasts. All he wants is to get by quietly until he can move on from this chapter, but Scarlett stirs a desire in him he can't ignore. He wants to keep her smiling and the bad memories at bay, but he knows he's not the man for her. Even if he wants to be. Two people afraid to open up find solace in each other's arms. If they have the courage to make the leap, they might just find the future they've both been searching for. Summer of Love Benjamin Lively believes in having a wild and free life and he doesn't plan on being tied down any time soon. He's perfectly happy giving those magical wedding days to the couples getting hitched in their family's historic barn-turned-wedding venue. When he gets a chance at a summer fling with his high school crush he leaps at the chance, until the simple rules of no strings attached become awfully complicated. Recently divorced Dixie Applewhite has designs on reclaiming her life and learning how to live it for herself. After waking up with her best friend's hunky brother in her bed she knows there's no going back. The old Dixie is gone, but the new Dixie isn't all that different. She still wants to believe in true love and happily ever afters, but her bruised heart doesn't know if it can trust her fun loving country boy. As the summer comes to a close Benjamin realizes he isn't ready to let go of Dixie. She's changed him and he wants to be the champion she believes in with the forever and ever kind of love she dreams about. Party Out Of Bounds Garth Lively has lived, breathed, and nearly died for his family. After spending more than a decade taking care of everyone else first and establishing their historic barn as a sought after wedding venue, it's his turn to figure out what he wants in life. At the top of his list is a seduction plan for woo'ing his sassy, sexy vacation fling back into his bed. There's just one problem--she's totally off-limits. Noemi Flores doesn't believe in love, just lust and a real good time. The best relationships begin and end with pleasure, which wasn't what she expected to find with the quiet, brooding country boy. Revisiting what they had on vacation is a recipe for certain disaster, even if all she wants is one more taste. But her heart's been broken one too many times to trust. When Noemi's old flame shows up proposing a second shot at the altar, Garth must decide if he's willing to break the rules to win her over. He knows it'll take a lot more than reminding her of their explosive chemistry. To earn Noemi's trust, he'll have to help her rebuild her dreams. Together they just might realize there's more to life than making other people's dreams into reality. They can have their own.

Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.
