Handle With Care by A.N. Verebes
What would you do if you had twenty minutes alone with your idol?
Gemma Fox is a self-confessed unlucky-in-love geek treating herself to a weekend at a pop-culture convention on Australia’s sunny Gold Coast.
Drawn there by the temptation of seeing her celebrity crush, Everett Rhodes, the last thing she expects is to wind up trapped in an elevator with him. Parting ways, Gemma has no reason to suspect that their paths will cross again. After all, he’s a celebrity. She’s just a fan who lives on the other side of the planet.
Besides, her life is not a rom-com. (At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself.)
However, life has other plans. And Everett -stupidly charming, frustratingly handsome Everett- is hard to resist.
But when things get complicated, Gemma and Everett are both faced with the same dilemma:
How can they make things work when they live in completely separate worlds?
His Home Run by Heather Hinds
I eat, sleep, and breathe baseball. That’s why teams from all over the country are throwing millions at me to play for them. Baseball was my life, until I saw my very own angel in the outfield.
Danielle is perfect and I’m going to make her mine, but there’s just one complication—her father owns the team I play for.
Nothing will stop me from stealing his daughter from right under his nose. I must own her. I must possess her. Making her my wife will be the ultimate home run.
The Bridesmaid by Marquise Gina
A Story About How True Love Is Always Around The Corner, Even When It’s Least Expected.
Pituca by Yviebeth Bardug
This book is the story of Liz, a driven independent woman, facing the challenges of what has shaped her life in her growing years, her journey towards accepting the past, the mistakes and achievements of her family as well as accepting the mistakes people she cared for her made. Moving on and recognising that what she was and made her were effectively those challenges. She was stronger and better because of these events.
By accepting that her journey, by fate or individual design, had created an alluring, successful but at the same time insecure individual who craved the company of her mother, who missed her brother as they were both forced to grow quickly in order to maintain the family unit.
By understanding her past and acknowledging the gift of the future, Liz was able to clearly see the value of real honest friendship and the meaning of rewarding those who cared and moving on from those who did not.

One night.
One decision.
Taking chances isn’t a new concept to me, but I’ve never been one to take a chance on love. Michael changes all of that. No more party girl, no more one-night stands. I fall hard for the cerulean-eyed sex god who shows me what it’s like to truly be cherished and loved.
Only, I’m not sure how long it can last.Michael

But when she unexpectedly opens up to me the night we meet, I realize she’s the only person who could change how I think about relationships, how I feel, and how I look at life. She’s a fiery, spontaneous woman who challenges me at every turn. I should let her go. But I don’t think I want to.
But right now my career won’t allow me to be the kind of man she deserves.
And Dee doesn’t trust herself or my love for her.
If I’m going to keep her, I have to let her walk away, as much as it pains me to my core.
