A brand new standalone grumpy sunshine summer holiday romance.

The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him. 


Nate Stiles is the definition of serious. Furrowed brow? Check. Rain cloud personality? Double check. 


I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium. 


I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.


I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesn’t believe in love. 


My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and I’m determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.


And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.





I Could be Yours is Essie and Nate’s story and I honestly couldn’t put it down. 

I love Essie, shes smart, tenacious but also due to her past, struggles to see her worth. As most of us do, dont we, at some point in our lives? 

Nate has known her since they were kids. He doesn’t dare to hope for love due to his upbringing. 

This book is beautiful, with so much heart, some very emotional moments and some very entertaining and steamy ones too. I loved Essies friends group, what a great bunch of gals! 

I have to say though I adore both Essie and Nate! Is there an HEA for them both? Go read it to find out!

THE SCRUM-HALF

Charlie Novak

Release Date: July 10


Meet Charlie Novak:

Charlie lives in England with her husband and two cheeky dogs. She spends most of her days wrangling other people’s words in her day job and then trying to force her own onto the page in the evening.


She loves cute stories with a healthy dollop of fluff, plenty of delicious sex, and happily ever afters — because the world needs more of them. 


Charlie has very little spare time, but what she does have she fills with baking, Dungeons and Dragons, reading and many other nerdy pursuits. She also thinks that everyone should have at least one favourite dinosaur…

Wanted: A Nanny Who’ll Put Up With My Unsportsmanlike Conduct 


When my balancing act between being a single dad to a toddler and a rugby union captain starts to falter, I’m forced to do the unthinkable: hire another nanny. 


I’m already on thin ice with the agency because of my grumpy, overbearing micromanagement so Harper is my last chance. He’s clever, kind, caring, not to mention gorgeous, and I’m already antsy because he’s so capable he makes me feel useless. But Harper also has a core of steel and when I push him, he pushes back. 


He makes me feel seen, like I’m more than a parent and a captain, and soon I’m falling for the man who’s brighter than sunshine. 


I shouldn’t want him, even when it’s clear he feels the same. But maybe it’s time to throw caution to the wind for once and do the irresponsible thing. 


It might get me everything I’ve ever wanted.

Cinnamon Roll Hero, Ex Con/Good Girl
Release Date: July 8, 2025


BLURB

Baker Ritter knew how to pick them.

She met the man she thought she was going to marry in middle school, gave him some of the best years of her life, for him to leave her pregnant and alone hours before she’s due to have his baby.

To make matters worse, he brings his side chick to the birth, and she’s left with a decision—fight for what she wants, or cut her losses.

What she should’ve done was cut her losses. What she does instead is take him back and experiences what it’s like to live in hell.

When she’s at the lowest of the low, she calls her dad, an ex-con, who sends the one person he knows that can fix it all.
Copper Clayborne.

***

Copper Clayborne has no time for nonsense—that nonsense being a woman and a baby.

But that woman’s dad saved his life in prison and kept saving it until he was strong enough to save himself.

He owes everything to Baker’s dad, so of course he says yes when he asks to let Baker move in with him.

That doesn’t mean that he has to have anything to do with her.

He’s got a business to fix—then bring down in the most fantastic, public way possible.

He’s also got years of celibacy to make up for.

He doesn’t have time to fall for the woman and her kid.

He certainly doesn’t have the mental headspace to deal with her drama.

He gives it his all, but Baker wiggles into his cracked and bleeding heart, and makes herself right at home. Whether he wants her there or not.

So happy to read Copper's story! 

Lani Lynn Vale knows how to make her characters as real as possible and nothing is more real than post partum depression. 

Baker finds herself in a position where she gives birth and her boyfriend decides to bring his new girlfriend to the birth of their son! Things just started going down hill more and more after this. 

When Copper gets a call from one of his buddies, Shade, to help his daughter while him and his family are away, he of course agrees. After helping move Baker out of the house with her dead beat boyfriend, he finds himself desperate to help this woman who clearly wasn't well. What he didn't count on was finding himself easily falling into a domestic life he never saw himself having. He loves coming home to Baker and her infant son, Holt. But Cooper knows he's not good enough for Baker. 

Baker, after suffering through months of darkness and depression, finally decides it's time to leave her boyfriend who refuses to help in anyway raise their son. When her Dad sends his friend, Copper, she can't help but admire his strong and good looks. She starts to realise that she needs help and goes to see her doctor who helps her realise she's suffering with PPD. Copper goes above and beyond to help her and ends up doing a lot more than she expected with her infant son. She doesn't know what she'd do without him. But when she over hears a conversation that Copper has with someone she sees that she's imposed on his life enough and jumps at the opportunity to move out. 

This book is so real! I felt myself relating to both of these characters on SO many levels. Post partum depression isn't mentioned enough in books, especially romances and I loved that LLV wrote a character like Baker. And Copper, who is an ex-con, who is trying to find his way through life after being in prison for 13 years. Not only is he trying to pick up the pieces at the corrupt corporation his father left behind, but he's also trying to find his self-worth in love. 

I cannot recommend this book and this series enough!
