Summary: In Julian, California, every day is April 23rd—and in a time loop,
there are no rules. Eating endless slices of fresh apple pie? Yes. Partner swapping? Why not.
Being trapped inside the plot of a sci-fi film would almost be
inspiring for LA screenwriter Carly Hart…if she wasn’t waking up at her
dad’s funeral every single day. Carly wants out.
Funeral
director Adam Rhodes is equally frustrated. Every loop, Adam
regenerates in the middle of a fight with his ex-wife. Her infidelity
wrecked their perfect life together, and now Adam must relive her
confession over and over again.
There’s only one solution to
ending the misery: breaking the time loop. Easier said than done. And
there’s another hurdle to overcome: Carly and Adam can’t stand each
other.
Though strangers at best, Carly and Adam know they must
work together to solve this cosmic mystery. But where Carly offers
magical theories, Adam relies on facts and figures. When Carly wants to
involve the local conspiracy theorist, Adam would rather work alone. The
sooner they find a solution, the sooner they’ll never have to see each
other again, yet somehow the tension between the two is hotter than a
solar flare and as rare as the daily total solar eclipse. Maybe Carly
and Adam are destined to be in each other’s orbit after all… (Pub Date: Nov 11 2025)
Summary: Romance author Sophie Lyon’s ironic secret just went viral: she’s never
been in love. Though her debut novel made readers swoon, Sophie’s having
trouble getting her new characters to happily-ever-after, and she
blames it on her own uninspired love life. With a manuscript deadline
looming, Sophie makes an ambitious plan to overcome her writer’s block:
reunite with her exes to learn why she's never fallen in love—and
document it all for her millions of new online followers. Which also
means facing her ex-girlfriend Carla, the one person Sophie could have loved.
Luckily,
Sophie’s reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose—a former teen heartthrob—has
social media all figured out and offers to help. But he doesn't mention
that he’s an anonymous online crafter, a hobby that helps him maintain
his sobriety. No one knows about his complicated relationship with
alcohol and he intends to keep it that way. His family is Hollywood
royalty, so Dash has to steer clear of scandal.
As Sophie and
Dash grow closer, they discover a heat between them that rivals Dash's
pottery kiln. But Sophie needs to figure out who she is outside her
relationships, and Dash isn’t sure he’s stable enough for the commitment
she deserves. So Sophie suggests what any good romance author would: a
friends-with-benefits arrangement. Surely a casual relationship won’t
cause any trouble…
