"Morris delivers...emotional heat!" — Publishers Weekly A love festival, an ancient legend, and a surprise fake marriage... What could possibly go wrong? Plain Janie Adams may be a rule follower, but she’s no fool. When her sleazy boss dangles a promotion in front of her—a dream job producing TV news—she takes off for tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico, to produce a feature on the town’s annual Valentine’s Day festival. Rose Quartz is famous for two things: its successful marriages and its namesake mines producing the mystical Love Stone, reputed to keep lovers true. What starts as a simple assignment gets outrageously out of hand when sexy Mason Hart enters the picture. Owner of the last mine in town still producing the Love Stone, Mason is annoyingly brash, hotter than hell, and—thanks to a ludicrously antiquated family tradition—in a serious bind: If he doesn’t marry by his thirtieth birthday, only weeks away, he’ll lose all claim to the family mines and ranch forever. As an old legend resurfaces and Rose Quartz begins to work its magic, life as Janie knows it starts doing cartwheels. Abandoning her hometown and what she thought was her perfect job, she shocks everyone—especially herself—with an impulsive dive into a marriage of convenience. But as she begins to re-envision the person she thought she was, she realizes her fake marriage is truly just a business deal, and her gorgeous husband is nothing but a stranger. Will she wind up losing Mason—or gaining the life and love of her dreams?

DECEMBER 2024 INDIE NEXT PICK! LIBRARYREADS TOP PICK FOR DECEMBER! Rosie writes romance novels and listens to Taylor Swift on loop. Aiden is a literary fiction writer who doesn't believe in happy endings. They're about to write a book together—what could go wrong? The Hating Game meets Beach Read in this sexy and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romance from a debut Peruvian-Tennessean voice. Rosie, an idealistic and passionate Peruvian American, leaves her Tennessee hometown to pursue her dream of making it in New York as a writer. But her plan is derailed when she ends up in class with her archnemesis and ex-crush, Aiden Huntington—an obnoxious, surly, and gorgeous literary fiction writer who doesn’t have much patience for the romance genre or for Rosie. Rosie and Aiden regularly go to verbal battle in workshop until their professor reaches her breaking point. She allows them to stay in her class on one condition: they must cowrite a novel that blends their genres. The reluctant writing duo can’t help but put pieces of themselves into their accidentally steamy novel, and their manuscript-in-progress provides an outlet for them to confess their feelings—and explore their attraction toward each other. When Rosie and Aiden find themselves competing against each other for a potentially career-changing opportunity, the flames of old rivalry reignite, and their once-in-a-lifetime love story is once again at risk of being shelved—unless they can find a way to end the book on their own terms.

Sometimes opposites attract so hard they miss. Lucas Barclay—charismatic Californian and fastidious photographer—is impatiently waiting for his commitment-phobic boyfriend to . . . well, commit. In the meantime, he rents a shared apartment, which is fine , except for the nocturnal cryptid also living there. Lucas spends his days working at his family’s horse sanctuary, contemplating the unexplained doodles left on his bathroom mirror, and dodging inkwells. Left on carpet . Armand Demetrio’s grim-dark comic Surrogate Goose has catapulted him to unexpected fame, and the British artiste finds himself abroad, teaching a workshop in California. He spends his nights dreading the international convention at the end of the summer (and the celebrity it entails), tarnishing his hard-won sobriety, and wallowing in the mystery of his elusive flatmate. Why would anyone need so much kale? And why does everything smell of lilac? Though conflicting schedules keep Lucas and Armand from meeting in person, tentative communication begins through text, Post-it notes, and muffins. But Armand will return to London soon, and he and Lucas might get clock-blocked. Can you fall in love with someone you’ve never met? **See this title's page on RiptidePublishing.com for content warnings.**

A broken football star. A determined baker. And a love neither saw coming. Camille never intended to fall for the handsome stranger who saw her tear-streaked cheeks and insisted on helping—a man as rugged as the mountains he works in and as rooted in football as her own battered heart. But after one humiliating breakup, a fierce warning from her boss, and Grandma’s beloved coaching center on the brink of closure, Camille has lost too much to let her feelings sideline her dreams. Liam just wants two days to pick up his new prosthetic arm and slip back into his self-made bubble, far from the gridiron glory he buried with his amputated arm. Yet when his old mentor begs him for a coaching rescue, Liam can’t turn his back on the only woman who believed in him. The last thing he expects is the woman from behind the bakery to be the fiery, determined coach fighting like crazy to save the program.
