A Fine Romance
Will she turn her back on a life of wealth for a sexy chocolatier – when she doesn’t even like chocolate?
Mira Parrish came to Chicago to launch a romance store--and her quest for independence. Her first day doesn’t start well when she bashes an intruder over the head. He turns out to be her new work neighbor, who infects her with equal parts annoyance and low-grade lust.
Sexy wedding cake baker Sam Lyons put his dream of making gourmet chocolates on hold to single-handedly keep his family’s bakery afloat. If he can stop hovering over his widowed mother, he might be able to kick off his chocolate business at a gourmet food show. Oh, and ignore the massive distraction of the beautiful new neighbor.
When the press claims that Mira’s already run two other stores into bankruptcy, the buzz about her grand opening grows in all the wrong ways. Suddenly the parents and the life of wealth she’s turned her back on look promising. The only catch is that she’d have to marry an ‘appropriate’ man and give up her career. Could she give up the man she’s falling in love with... and her dreams? Will a deathbed plea from his father lead Sam to abandon his dreams in order to take care of his mother? Or will Mira and Sam find their way to a fine romance?

Ward Cantrell always went for the long shot. But that recklessness cost him his college scholarship and his chance to play pro ball, and—worst of all—it ended his relationship with the girl next door. Neither the town nor the girl has ever forgiven him. Now he’s taking one last long shot by opening a boutique distillery on the family farm he inherited.
Piper Morrissey spent high school in Ward’s shadow, but she’s come into her own in the years since. Maintaining her spotless image, and that of her family’s winery, is priority number one. Nobody knows that she still yearns for her golden-boy ex. Or at least they didn’t—until Ward agrees to sell Piper the land she needs to start her precious port line. The caveat? She’ll need to date him for one month.
Ward hopes a month is all it’ll take to convince his former sweetheart that while he’s changed, his love for her hasn’t. But when the chance arises to thumb his nose at the town that turned its back on him, he can’t afford not to reject Piper’s offer. Will that make her reject him and his love—for good?

Content creator Rory Hibbert knows Valentine’s Day is only fun for couples and chocolatiers. For singles like her, it’s a day of disappointment. And that’s why her new marketing agency client has arranged a tour of Italy crammed full of activities to distract from the holiday. This trip is a test for Rory—if it goes well, it will jump-start her new social media career.
There’s just one snag: the ex she never got over is also on staff.
Huck Cranshaw walked away from the love of his life for a huge opportunity on a cooking competition show. At least, that’s the excuse he gave Rory at the time—and he’s regretted it for five years. Cooking for tourists was supposed to be a stopgap between restaurant positions. Now it could be much, much more: a chance to fix the past.
But when an Italian prince catches sight of Rory, Huck’s not the only one vying for her heart this time. Can Cupid still steal Rory’s heart when the truth finally comes out?
