"Mazey Eddings's writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely
romantic! To me, it's like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New
York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood "An unbelievably cute
and funny debut about friendship, the expectations of family, and
mental health. A Brush with Love fills that itch for a STEMinist
rom-com with laughter, slow-burn romance, and toothy puns." -
Buzzfeed Nine out of ten dentists agree, Mazey Eddings's rom-com A
Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!* *not scientifically
proven Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral
surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan.
Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face
any distractions, even one this adorable. A first-year dental
student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn't have the
same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds
himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper's rules.
So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of
follow-throughs, the two set out to be "just friends." But as they
get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings
for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully
ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is.
Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling
in love? Torture.
A cosy and spicy spellbinding fantasy romance, about a kitchen witch
cursed to hurt anyone who falls for her. Perfect for fans of Talia
Hibbert and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Dina Whitlock knows her way around a pastry recipe. As a skilled
kitchen witch, she runs her very own London café, serving magic-infused
pastries to her loyal customers. But only a select few friends know
about her magical abilities or the hex that has plagued her love life.
It’s hard to fall in love when your partner is guaranteed to have a
string of bad luck.
Scott Mason is back from traveling the world and is excited to begin
his new job as a curator at the British Museum. After leaving London to
heal from a brutal breakup two years ago, Scott only now realizes how
much he missed out on. Now that his best friend’s wedding is right
around the corner, Scott is determined to be the most amazing best man
ever, but he doesn’t expect to be bewitched by the maid of honour, who
also happens to be the owner of his new favourite café and, perhaps
more surprisingly, a witch.
After a weekend in the countryside full of peculiar hedge mazes, palm
readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there’s no
denying the chemistry between them. But there’s just one problem: The
hex still holds, and Dina knows that Scott is in danger.
Can Dina break the spell before it breaks both their hearts?

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious
fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Wizard of Oz.
A woman can be great, and terrible too.
Evelina Westerly has always been the bad guy. As the brains, brawn, and
botanist behind her family's drug empire, she's her father's ruthless
secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse,
seeking revenge for her sister's murder, and putting a gun to the head
of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn't have time for anything else.
Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at
a nightclub, she's sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways.
That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly
lackey...under a totally different name.
But Nicholas Woodsworth's real secret is much more dangerous than an
alias. He's an undercover DEA agent, and he's hell-bent on destroying
the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realizes the
youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he's been
fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars
violently with disgust. Evelina embodies everything he's against, and
he's been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about
the darkness in each other's hearts, the more alike they seem, and when
hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he
can love a wretched woman, even if it means bringing both of their
lives to ruin.
Perfect summer reading for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin
and Sue Moorcroft.It's summer in Heritage Cove, the picturesque
village by the sea. Join some of your favourite characters and
welcome new faces in this uplifting, romantic read brimming with
character, community and friendship... The Heritage Bakery is
finally getting the makeover it deserves, with sisters Jade and
Celeste modernising the place and putting their own stamp on it
while retaining all the charm of days gone by. But Jade has far
more planned than a brand-new kitchen and fancy cake designs. She's
ready for an even bigger change in her life. It's almost time to
take the next step and she knows just what to do to make that
happen. Etna owns the village tea rooms and when she hears that
local man Harvey is looking for a labourer to help him renovate the
bakery after being let down at the last minute, she suggests to her
nephew Linc that it may just be the change he needs to get his head
straight. Linc arrives in the Cove willing to give it a go and he
works hard, but what he hadn't envisaged was anything bordering on
a romance - not with his track record or what he's involved in
right now. When a tall, dark, handsome stranger appears in the
village and turns Jade's world upside down, will it be enough to
make her abandon her plan before she even sets the wheels in
motion? And has Linc missed his chance to tell her how he really
feels? It's almost time for the wedding of the year for one of the
village favourites and the annual Wedding Dress Ball. But when the
sun begins to set, will anyone else be lucky in love?*Please note

A neglected garden. A cottage that holds a secret. A mysterious
Frenchman (handsome, naturally). A family in need of some love.
These elements are entwined in this heartwarming novel by the
author reviewers consistently compare to Maeve Binchy and Rosamunde
Pilcher.
It begins as Miranda and David Claybourne move into a country
house with a once-beautiful garden. But reality turns out to be
very different from their dream. Soon the latent unhappiness in the
family begins to come to the surface, isolating each family member
in a bubble of resentment and loneliness.
Then an enigmatic Frenchman arrives on their doorstep. With the
wisdom of nature, he slowly begins to heal the past and the
present. But who is he? When Miranda reads about his past in a
diary she finds in the cottage by the garden, the whole family
learns that a garden, like love itself, can restore the human
spirit, not just season after season but generation after
generation.
Wise and winsome, poignant and powerfully moving, "The French
Gardener" is a contemporary story told with an old-fashioned
sensibility steeped in the importance of family and the magical
power of love.
Maxwell Jameson Trevor, prince of Lilaria, hates his royal role.
Despising the limelight, he takes solace in his art studio and
steers clear of any drama. But when one of the newly discovered
royals passes away, Maxwell's brother Alex asks him to break the
news to the old man's granddaughter. Though he hates to be the
bearer of doom and gloom, he doesn't want the poor girl to find out
from the tabloids. For Maxwell knows all too well how devastating
that could be.
Coming from a broken home and modest background, newly ordained
Lady Meredith Thysmer has seized her chance to make a better life
for herself and her son. She's not afraid to use her best assets to
get what she wants. But when the unpretentious yet devastatingly
handsome Max delivers his news, her plans for the future come
crashing to a halt. In the challenging days ahead, Max's
compassion, humor, and steadfast loyalty to Meredith and her son
win her over. She quickly finds herself doing something she swore
would never happen again: falling in love. And yet Maxwell still
refuses to completely drop his guard. Somehow Meredith's got to
find a way to seduce this reluctant royal.

There is only the three of them.
And a truth Nash Wilde can no longer ignore.
Nash Wilde has moved past what happened on Del Rey and agrees to keep
the secrets of what he, Zara, and Alistair did buried deep. Needing
space and time to reflect, Nash makes his way to Amsterdam and directly
into the arms of an older man – and friend of his father’s – Ellis
Prior.
Nash and Ellis become fast friends, and Ellis shows Nash things he
can’t forget. Things that bring him to his knees. But still not ready
to accept the part of himself that loves Ellis, Nash runs again, this
time back to his private island.
Now Hanna Thurber is on Del Rey looking for a place to escape, and Nash
is all too eager to provide. This ballerina is anything but delicate,
and the chemistry between them is electric. But the past won’t stay
dead, and Ellis Prior finds his way to the island, too.
Suddenly, there is something pulling the three of them together. What
starts as innocent and fun turns into an attraction that is undeniably
forbidden…
The follow-up to Gravity is another enticing, seductive offering from
one of contemporary romance’s most prominent voices, with evocative
twists and turns that will leave you breathless.
