Yes, Chef (2026)
Grace Reilly
"Yes, Chef is a true romantic comedy: Perfectly tender, outrageously sexy, and unreasonably fun. Poppy and Jack are messy, magnetic leads whose voices leap off the page. I am a well-documented sucker for a love story that knows how to balance romantic chemistry and independent growth, and Grace achieves this here in spades. I loved it."

Games (2026)
Anna Maria Volkova
"A gorgeous, gritty love story of two people who see the world so differently and, somehow, in the exact same way. Lili and Aleksandr use their bodies to talk, to argue, to get by - until their hearts learn to do it too. Games is nuanced, passionate, and fully dedicated to exploring what breaks us and what makes us whole."

If Not For My Baby (2025)
Kate Golden
"Kate Golden can do it all - and her first crack at contemporary storytelling is an immersive, heartfelt, and unbelievably sexy knockout. If Not For My Baby isn't just for music lovers. It's for any reader who's ever wondered how much brighter life might be if they finally got out of their comfort zone."
