What happens when a physical therapist who hates golf collides with a pro golfer staking everything on one last shot at the world's most chaotic country club wedding?
PGA hopeful Derek Couples has one shot left before he hangs up his dream. Years ago, he shared an unforgettable night with Jessica that sparked the best play of his career. There were just three she loathed golf, gave him a fake name—She-Wolf—and vanished. Now she's back in a ridiculous peach chiffon bridesmaid dress, but she doesn't remember him at all?
JESSICA
Some bridal party prisoners wore orange, others blue or green, but there was a special level of hell reserved for peach chiffon at a golf course wedding.
I loathed golf. Always had. It was just a tired excuse for day drinking and avoiding responsibility. But here I was, trapped as a last-minute bridesmaid with one final performance before I broke up with my cheating ex-boyfriend.
That's when hypnotic electronic music thrummed from a dark sedan. The driver held me captive with a wolfish grin. Heat shot through me. An image those forearms in a different light, reaching, skin against skin.
Wedding day stress. Just ignore the handsome distraction and get through the day.
Except my body wasn't listening. Especially when I saw the name embroidered on his bag.
DEREK
Wedding party laughter drifted across the course as I shouldered my bag, pushing away thoughts of bronzed legs wrapped around my waist.
Jessica. Three years wondering if I'd imagined that night, if I'd conjured our connection. That night sparked the best golf of my life, until her silence destroyed it. I spiraled from PGA contender to washed-up golf hustler traveling across the world, haunted by her ghost.
Now with one final shot at redemption, she reappeared?
She-Wolf owed me an explanation. But first she needed my protection.
Are they just playing a round, or is this the match of a lifetime?

Author: Lisa Daily
November 4th 2025 by Siesta Key
A fake fiancé hockey rom-com with steam, sass, and serious heart
Cam “The Hitman” Murphy is the NHL’s biggest bruiser, a championship-winning enforcer for the St. Pete Slashers, and hockey’s reigning bad boy heartthrob. At least, that’s what the billboards say. In real life? He’s more cinnamon roll than scandal—soft-hearted, vintage-band-tee-wearing, and quietly collecting the world’s weirdest sock drawer. The only thing he’s ever been reckless about is her.
Lana Decker is the Slashers’ sharp-tongued team publicist, hockey royalty, and the woman who turned Cam into the league’s sexiest playboy… strictly for marketing purposes, of course. There’s just one tiny that carefully crafted image might cost Cam a once-in-a-lifetime sneaker deal—and maybe his last shot at proving he’s more than a hot body in skates.
The solution? A fake engagement.
The catch? His fiancée has to be Lana.
One steamy college night. A million lingering what-ifs. And a decade-old pact never to speak of it again—especially since her older brother is Cam’s teammate and best friend.
It was supposed to be one awards show, a few staged smiles, and zero real feelings.
Then her family shows up.
Then there’s the beach house in Siesta Key.
Then there’s the shared bedroom.
Then… oops.
Now they’re faking a relationship that feels a little too real, dodging the media, team drama, and one extremely suspicious big brother—all while trying (and failing) to ignore the fact that the guy the whole world wants might just be hopelessly in love with the one woman he was never supposed to have.

Though she absolutely can’t see the appeal in Of Wrath and Rune, if Jake loves it, then Cerys will too.
But when Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the fandom conventions—in cosplay (cringe)— Cerys realizes she’ll need to do a lot more to grab Jake’s attention than just read a few fanfics. But Max, with his dimples and dry humor, seems to always be hanging around, getting in the way.
Cerys is determined to become the ultimate fangirl to finally get on Jake’s radar. What she doesn’t expect is that she might actually like Of Wrath and Rune … and might like DMing with a suspiciously familiar guy in the fandom even more.

Thrown for a Loop
Series: New York Legends #1
Author: Sarina Bowen
November 4th 2025 by Forever
Fans suspect that the bad boy of hockey has a few skeletons in his closet. They have no idea he also has a sparkly bodysuit… #toepick!
When they met at figure skating camp ten years ago, Chase Merritt was a scrappy hockey player from the wrong part of town, and Zoe Carson was the up-and-coming ice princess. They fell in love faster than you can say triple toe loop, until Zoe makes a fateful error that ends up costing Chase dearly.
Almost a decade later, their fortunes are reversed. Chase is the MVP of the New York Legends hockey team, while Zoe—their new skating coach—has years’ worth of personal and professional bruises. It’s hard to face him again—all six feet and two hundred pounds of muscle and swagger.
And anger. Chase is in hot water with management, and refusing to work with Coach Zoe no matter how badly he needs to shore up his stride—and his image. Until a journalist digs up an old video of Zoe and Chase performing a skating program, and the internet goes wild.
Management seizes on the opportunity for a P.R. redemption, ordering Zoe and Chris to reprise their flashy routine.
Skating with him again—to a love song, of course—is pure agony. But it’s also Zoe’s only chance to unpack the truth of what really happened that night ten years ago. And to at least find forgiveness, if she can’t win back his heart.

Cold Feet
Series: St. Pete Slashers #2
Author: Lisa Daily
November 4th 2025 by Siesta Key
A fake fiancé hockey rom-com with steam, sass, and serious heart
Cam “The Hitman” Murphy is the NHL’s biggest bruiser, a championship-winning enforcer for the St. Pete Slashers, and hockey’s reigning bad boy heartthrob. At least, that’s what the billboards say. In real life? He’s more cinnamon roll than scandal—soft-hearted, vintage-band-tee-wearing, and quietly collecting the world’s weirdest sock drawer. The only thing he’s ever been reckless about is her.
Lana Decker is the Slashers’ sharp-tongued team publicist, hockey royalty, and the woman who turned Cam into the league’s sexiest playboy… strictly for marketing purposes, of course. There’s just one tiny that carefully crafted image might cost Cam a once-in-a-lifetime sneaker deal—and maybe his last shot at proving he’s more than a hot body in skates.
The solution? A fake engagement.
The catch? His fiancée has to be Lana.
One steamy college night. A million lingering what-ifs. And a decade-old pact never to speak of it again—especially since her older brother is Cam’s teammate and best friend.
It was supposed to be one awards show, a few staged smiles, and zero real feelings.
Then her family shows up.
Then there’s the beach house in Siesta Key.
Then there’s the shared bedroom.
Then… oops.
Now they’re faking a relationship that feels a little too real, dodging the media, team drama, and one extremely suspicious big brother—all while trying (and failing) to ignore the fact that the guy the whole world wants might just be hopelessly in love with the one woman he was never supposed to have.

Caprice hates dogs almost as much as she hates Drew Forbes, the man who turned his back on his brother. But when Rufus wreaks havoc on her life, jeopardizing the biggest story of her career, she finds herself crawling to Drew for help. And he’s only too happy to prove his point. But working together unleashes feelings—about the past, and each other—that could change everything Caprice and Drew believe.

You know who’s not swooning? Me.
I’m as grumpy as he is, and I’m fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. It’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I’m not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer.
Except I start getting attached. First to the kids. Then to their father. I don’t know why. He’s overbearing. His attempts at flirting are just growls and glares. But if I ever see that man smile…well, I might tear all his clothes off.
I don’t do forever. And Barrett—serious, thoughtful, sexier than he has any right to be—doesn’t do short term. We’re headed straight for disaster.
But it we're willing to take a risk, maybe this story won't end in heartbreak. Maybe what started as the perfect setup for two imperfect people just might end in love.

Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore
Series: None
Author: Emily Krempholtz
November 18th 2025 by Ace
A powerful plant witch and a grumpy alchemist must work together to save their quiet town from a magical plague in this debut cozy fantasy romance about starting over, redemption, and what it really means to be a good person.
Guy Shadowfade is dead, and after a lifetime as the dark sorcerer’s right-hand, Violet Thistlewaite is determined to start over—not as the fearsome Thornwitch, but as someone kind. Someone better. Someone good.
The quaint town of Dragon’s Rest, Violet decides, will be her second chance—she’ll set down roots, open a flower shop, keep her sentient (mildly homicidal) houseplant in check, and prune dark magic from the twisted boughs of her life.
Violet’s vibrant bouquets and cheerful enchantments soon charm the welcoming townsfolk, though nothing seems to impress the prickly yet dashingly handsome Nathaniel Marsh, an alchemist sharing her greenhouse. With a struggling business and his own second chance seemingly out of reach, Nathaniel has no time for flowers or frippery—and certainly none for the intriguing witch next door.
When a mysterious blight threatens every living plant in Dragon’s Rest, Violet and Nathaniel must work together through their fears, pasts, and growing feelings for one another to save their community. But with a figure from her past knocking at her door and her secrets threatening to uproot everything she’s worked so hard to grow, Violet can’t help but wonder…does a former villain truly deserve a happily-ever-after?

Second Chance Romance
Series: Harlot's Bay #2
Author: Olivia Dade
November 25th 2025 by Avon
In the second installment of USA Today bestselling author Olivia Dade’s Harlot’s Bay series, a mistaken obituary leads to the reunion of two former high school crushes. Sparks fly in this hilarious grumpy/grumpy romance, packed with Dade’s signature body positivity and a delicious amount of spice.
Karl and Molly were never together. There was a time, right after high school, where it seemed like they might finally cross the line from friends to lovers…but instead, a foolish misunderstanding meant they never spoke again. Molly went to LA and got married. Karl stayed in Harlot’s Bay and bought a bakery.
The only connection the pair has shared over the years is painfully one-sided: Now divorced, Molly narrates monster romance audiobooks, and Karl is an ever-diligent listener, clinging to his only piece of the one that got away.
Still, Molly hasn’t totally left Harlot’s Bay behind. When she hears that Karl’s obituary has run in the local paper, unexpected grief prompts her to hop on the next flight to Maryland…where she finds Karl very much alive, the victim of nothing but an accidental obituary.
As the pair reunite, they finally hash out their missed connection. True, Molly isn’t quite ready to trust again, but Karl is determined to prove himself worthy of her faith and devotion. And as her remaining time in Harlot’s Bay ticks down, Molly, the habitual cynic, just might find that Karl, the cranky town curmudgeon, is impossible to leave behind a second time.
