She came to say goodbye. She stayed to find home. 🏡💕

Aspiring chef Bree Taylor thought she’d found her place in the world—in the kitchen of Lassiter’s restaurant, learning from her mentor and dear friend, Chef Henry Lassiter. He’d filled her head with stories of his childhood home in Pajaro Bay, painting pictures of a charming seaside village where dreams came true and hearts found healing.

Then Henry died suddenly, shattering Bree’s world and leaving her as lost and grieving as his beloved old dog, Maisy. Now Bree has one final task: deliver Maisy to Henry’s twin sister in Pajaro Bay. Then she can move on, as alone and adrift as ever. 😢

But what she finds when she arrives is not the happy, cozy village Henry described. Instead, she discovers a town full of mysteries she can’t understand—from his sister’s odd behavior to the handsome doctor with eyes as rich as bittersweet chocolate who can’t seem to decide if he’s attracted to her or just wants her to leave him alone. 🍫

As Bree unravels the secrets Henry left behind, she’ll have to use everything he taught her about faith, trust, and believing in herself to find a new path. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll discover that the home she’s been searching for has been waiting for her all along—complete with new friends, a new community, and the happily ever after Henry always promised was possible. 🌊

What makes this special: Barbara Cool Lee writes heartwarming clean romance with characters who feel like friends and settings you’ll want to visit. The Pajaro Bay series is beloved by readers who crave cozy small-town stories where the cottages are cute, the neighbors are nosy, and everyone gets their happy ending.

These are comfort reads at their finest, featuring grief and healing handled with sensitivity, found family, adorable dogs, and kitchens filled with delicious food.

He inherited a mob empire. She inherited debt. Together, they’re betting everything on love. 🎰💕

When Las Vegas’ most notorious mobster is gunned down in front of Old Money Casino, Alex Wilde is forced to take over his father’s “family business.” His first task? Find a wife before the funeral and avoid the strategic mobster marriage that threatens to lock him into organized crime forever. Alex desperately wants to break free from his father’s dark legacy and go completely legit—but the Russian mob has other plans, and they involve a mob princess he has no intention of marrying. 💍

Just when he’s sure he’s out of options, Alex meets a feisty cocktail waitress who offers him more than the convenience of a temporary wife. But when his heart gets involved, going all in with her could be the riskiest bet of his life. ❤️

Trouble follows Faye Tandy like a shadow. Deep in debt after being swindled by her ex, she’s desperate to find a way out. She’s barely scraping by while trying to finish college, working tables at the Wilde family casino, when Mr. Tall, Dark and Delicious makes her an offer she can’t refuse: a fake marriage with a 100% failure rate in exchange for more cash than she’s ever imagined. Faye lays it all on the line, ready to play along with this ridiculous scheme and walk away with enough money to finally get her life back on track. 💰

But Alex Wilde turns out to be more than a safe bet—and while his enemies threaten to take her life, Alex vows to steal her heart. With dark limousines, 24/7 bodyguards, dangerous Russian gangsters circling, and a wedding that’s supposed to be temporary turning into something terrifyingly real, the cards are stacked against them. Can they double down on love, or will the Mob call their bluff? 🃏🔥

What makes this special: International bestselling author Kelly Collins delivers a refreshing twist on mafia romance with an old-world Godfather vibe—think speakeasies, Chicago gangster aesthetic, and 1920s flapper themes set against the glittering backdrop of modern Las Vegas. This is “feel-good mafia romance” (yes, that’s a thing!) featuring emotionally mature adults, sassy banter, mild steaminess, and characters you’ll actually root for. Collins is known for creating “cinnamon roll heroes” who are tough on the outside but gooey in the middle, paired with heroines who don’t take any bull. Perfect for readers who love marriage of convenience stories, fake relationship tropes, and contemporary romance with just enough danger to keep things exciting—but not so dark you need a shower afterward. If you enjoy Susan Mallery, Debbie Macomber, or Nora Roberts’ lighter romantic suspense, you’ll devour this series starter. The Wilde Love trilogy follows three brothers trying to escape their father’s legacy, and this first installment sets up a world you’ll want to return to. Buckle up for the ride! 🎲✨

Kian Carter is stuck in a rut. As a successful lawyer in his parents’ New York City office, he’s sick and tired of their greed and lifelong insistence on putting their powerhouse practice above all else—including him and his siblings.

Time to finally pursue his dream of becoming a mystery writer and start living life instead of just watching it speed by. ✍️

Not much has changed in the tiny town in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Or so he thought. But this time there’s one big difference: Moose Village is playing host to a mystery woman. And she happens to be working at his aunt’s bakery. The lovely Cadie Waterford is the talk of the town gossip, as much for her luscious banana bread as her unwillingness to talk about her past. 🥖

Kian’s not normally one to engage in gossip…but the more time he spends with Cadie, the more intrigued he becomes. There’s an instant attraction between them that’s impossible to ignore, and as their friendship deepens into something more, Cadie begins to trust him with pieces of her story. Whatever her secrets may be, he’s sure he can handle them—but when words like FBI, CIA, and even murder come into play, does Cadie need more protection than he thought? Or does Moose Village need protection from Cadie? 🔍

🚂 A luxury train. A stolen jewel. A corpse in the night.

When the glamorous Blue Train races from Calais to the French Riviera, it carries the world’s elite — and a killer among them.

Heiress Ruth Kettering is found dead in her compartment, her priceless ruby missing. The case seems impossible — until Hercule Poirot, the brilliant Belgian detective, steps aboard.

As the wheels thunder through the night, Poirot untangles a web of greed, passion, and betrayal, revealing that everyone on the train hides a secret — and one of them will kill again to keep it buried.

Why I’m including this: Agatha Christie—the undisputed Queen of Mystery—delivers another brilliant Hercule Poirot adventure set against the glamorous backdrop of the French Riviera in the 1920s.

This novel features all her signature elements: red herrings aplenty, subtle psychological insights, aristocratic intrigue, and Poirot at his most charming and exacting. The story involves a valuable ruby, a troubled marriage, romantic entanglements, and multiple suspects with motives and opportunities. Perfect for fans of classic Golden Age detective fiction, readers who love Dorothy L. Sayers or Ngaio Marsh, and anyone who appreciates locked-room mysteries where the solution is both surprising and inevitable once revealed. Christie’s prose is elegant, her plotting meticulous, and her ability to misdirect readers remains unmatched decades later.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

She hates Christmas. He celebrates it year-round. Can a magical Montana town teach her heart to believe again? 🎄💚

After losing her parents around Christmas, Hannah rejects the holiday fully. She turns her focus from joy and celebration to her future as a writer for a national foodie magazine. Outside of that, her only hobby is her plants—the only things she can nurture without getting hurt. 🌿

When her boss sends her on assignment to Holly Well Springs, a small town in Montana where the people celebrate Christmas all year long, she’s not at all excited. In fact, she’s horrified. The assignment sounds like her personal nightmare wrapped up with a bow. Suddenly forced to face Christmas everywhere she turns—tinsel in July, carols in January, the whole festive nightmare—Hannah comes up with a plan. She’ll just keep to herself and finish up the assignment as quickly as possible. Get in, get out, get back to Chicago where it’s safe and Christmas-free. ❄️

Unfortunately, that’s not how fate works.

The moment she lays eyes on Brodie, a Greek god cowboy who also loves plants more than she does (is that even possible?!), Hannah finds herself questioning everything she believed about her past. He runs a tree farm and greenhouses, and their shared passion for all things botanical creates an instant connection she didn’t see coming. While she’s busy trying to stay emotionally distant, the magic of love starts to unravel her wounded heart—and that magic isn’t just metaphorical. 🌲💫

And at the center of the miracle? A Wishing Well that opens her eyes to what’s really available to her. True love. The kind that heals old wounds and makes Christmas feel like coming home.

Why I’m including this: This is pure escapist Christmas magic—the literary equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket with hot cocoa while snow falls outside. Porter crafts a whimsical, Hallmark-movie-style romance that’s clean, sweet, and utterly charming, perfect for readers who want to believe in the transformative power of love and holiday spirit without any cynicism getting in the way. Yes, the whole town loves Christmas every single day (which sounds cult-like until you realize you’d happily join). Yes, there’s actual magical realism with the wishing well and possibly some light mind-reading from Santa-adjacent figures. But if you’re willing to suspend disbelief and dive into a world where everyone is genuinely nice, true love exists, and there really is magic in the holidays, this book will make your heart glow. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery’s sweeter romances, and anyone who unironically loves those feel-good holiday movies. Fair warning: this isn’t gritty or realistic—it’s optimistic and fantastical in the best possible way. 🎁✨

Author: Minka Kent

Genre: Domestic Thrillers

Trust is a matter of life and death when secrets and lies threaten a new marriage in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by a Washington Post bestselling author.

Writer and newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect. There’s just one caveat. Behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage, lives Wells’s first wife, Sylvie.

Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered an unfortunate accident. Near catatonic, Sylvie hasn’t spoken since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renowned specialist has been able to elicit so much as a sound from the silent woman. Until now. 🏡

On an ordinary Tuesday morning, while Wells is away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visits her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. She isn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled on it in shaky black ink.

That word? Run. 🏃‍♀️

What pulled me in: Minka Kent delivers a twisty, addictive domestic thriller with one of the creepiest premises you’ll encounter: what if your husband’s ex-wife lived on your property…and couldn’t speak? Kent masterfully ramps up the tension as Jade realizes nothing about her perfect new marriage is what it seems. This is psychological suspense at its finest—atmospheric, claustrophobic, and packed with revelations that will make you gasp. The isolated estate setting adds Gothic vibes, and the dynamic between the two Mrs. Westmores crackles with dread. Perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden, and anyone who loves unreliable narrators, shocking twists, and stories about dangerous men and the women trying to escape them. Kent is a Washington Post bestselling author known for page-turners that keep you up all night, and this delivers on that promise. Trust no one, question everything, and maybe think twice before marrying someone whose ex is a little too conveniently silent. 😱🖤
