Newest Release: Almost Definitely Never

In one week, two former college rivals will challenge everything they believe to be true about each other—and discover that being wrong might just be their greatest win.

It’s official: Sadie Harper’s life is a dumpster fire. Last week she was living her best life as a beloved park ranger in a cozy woodland cabin. This week? She’s lost both—and is stuck playing hostess at her parents’ inn and feeling like a failure. She knows the pattern: whenever something good happens to her, something terrible follows. Things can’t possibly get any worse… until they do, and the one person she never wanted to see again checks into the Jasmine Falls Inn.

James Fielding: famous travel writer, charming TV host, internet darling. Mr. Annoyingly Perfect was once Sadie’s biggest college rival and turned everything—from GPAs to charity bake sales—into a competition. Now he’s shooting a new travel show that could mean a boon for Jasmine Falls’ small business owners. Trouble is, they’re all counting on Sadie to make sure he enjoys every minute of his time there—because nothing brings revenue like a glowing celebrity endorsement.

Spending her days with James Fielding’s big fat ego and sexy half-smile is agony for Sadie. Because beneath his witty banter and smoldering gaze, he’s the perfect reminder of all her shortcomings. Worse, she can’t ignore the way he makes her tongue-tied and weak-kneed—and something about his lingering stare tells her this isn’t just part of his charming persona.

When James asks for Sadie’s help with filming, it gives her a new way to do the work she loves—if she’s brave enough to take a leap. But Sadie can’t help wondering why, of all the towns, did James choose this one? And why is he so interested in helping her get back on her feet?

But most of all, why does all their pretend chemistry on set feel so much like the real thing?

An old flame ignites new sparks in this small-town second-chance romantic comedy.

Fiona wants to hit the reset button on her life—big time. With a disastrous break-up behind her and an art career that’s in a tailspin, she’ll try anything to get inspired again. So when she’s called back to her hometown to help her aunt recover from surgery, she thinks it’s the perfect way to recharge and make a plan to course-correct. Because small towns mean solitude, right?

There’s just one problem. This small town is also home to Alex Fox. Sure, he’s gorgeous and charming and makes a room ten degrees hotter just by walking into it. But eight years ago, he busted Fiona’s heart into a million pieces—and when she bumps into him now, he has the nerve to act like it never happened.

Alex never forgot about Fiona, though—because you always remember your first love. He never meant to break her heart, but if he tells her the real reason he dumped her all those years ago, she might drive him out into the Congaree swamp and leave him with the gators.

Determined to win her back, Alex offers her a job too intriguing for her to pass up—one that he hopes will show her she belongs here…with him. The more time they spend together, the more the sparks fly—and Fiona finds herself falling hard for the one man she never wanted to see again.

Soon this town feels like more than just a refuge—but can she put the old hurt behind her and give her first love a second chance?

Old bonds are mended and new love blooms in this sweet (short) romantic comedy about first loves and second chances.

It’s not easy being a stand-in bridesmaid. Especially for me.

The dress is hideous, the church is hotter than the surface of the sun, and the bride has gone missing—what could be worse?

Plenty. One of the groomsmen is Jake Caldwell—the guy who used to be my best friend in high school. I had the world’s biggest crush on him, and then one night I did the dumbest thing ever and our relationship went up in flames. I haven’t spoken to him since, and frankly I’d like to keep it that way.

But part of me really wants to know how things might have gone differently back then—if only I’d told him what was in my heart. And the way he looks at me today—I wonder if he feels the same.

But I can’t think about that right now: I have a bride to find. And Jake jumps in to help me, because he’s still that kind of guy.

You got this, Maggie Monroe. If I say it enough, I can make it true.
