Feeling Fiery
Life gets awkward when two opposites find love is their unexpected adventure.
Fiadh O’Cleary, the planner of all planners, is ready to celebrate all summer after becoming a tenured associate professor of fermentation and brewing. Within hours of turning in her grades and going home for the break, she finds a letter in her city apartment informing her she’s now single because she’s boring. Worse, she discovers her carefully laid out plans of teaching students the art of making hard cider in a proper space that is not a makeshift lab, her dream of all dreams, is close to gone. An evening of commiseration with her best friend since childhood leaves her with a throbbing head and a litany of emails for day-trip adventures in woodsy northwestern New Jersey.
Fiadh calls the adventure company to cancel and is informed by the grumpy man on the phone, Maverick Graves, that the programs are nonrefundable. Despite trying charm and then flat-out protest, she cannot change his mind. Her choices are kissing the money goodbye or a summer of hiking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and more experiences she is not prepared for. Maverick thinks nature has all the answers Fiadh needs, but she is not convinced. After all, nature cannot plan. On an adventure day, rain pours, and she goes running for shelter only to find herself in a defunct old cider mill. The mill leaves her breathless. With repairs and proper care, the space would be better than anything the city could ever offer. But the mill comes with Maverick.
As the summer ticks away and her timeline grows shorter, she finds arguing with Maverick in the woods is more fun than not being around him. His quiet nature is a frustrating combination of intoxicating and intellectually addicting. The pressing timeline of the upcoming school year means she must figure out whether there’s a way to be all in with Maverick and the mill, or if she’ll have to hit pause and retreat back to her comfortable routine of university life.
Plans are hard to make when there are distractions everywhere, and Maverick Graves is a distraction.
Just a Fika: Coffee, Connection, and a Matchmaking Ghost Grandmother
Family.
They’re always meddling in your love life
Even after they’re dead.
Brooklynite-and genealogist-Ingrid Ekstrom accepts a surprise request from her typically estranged family: to become the live-in caretaker of their shared historic house in the sleepy Jersey Shore town of Aegir Haven. A fun-loving cousin is quick to introduce Ingrid to the local handyman and bluegrass musician. As he fixes up the place, Ingrid digs into the house’s past and learns about the family she barely knows.
And then Mormor-her long-dead grandmother-shows up, acting as though not being in the spirit realm is perfectly normal.
Ingrid’s always yearned for stronger family connections, and it’s nice having Mormor around. Mormor tries to set her up with a young real estate attorney who’s closer to her more thunderous, god-like personal standards than the musician with keen senses Ingrid is falling for. As lore and legends mingle with real life, she’s torn. Mormor’s fantastical family sagas can’t actually be true, right?
Feeling Ballsy
A Love is Awkward Novel
Elin Axelsson is unmistakably the worst goalie in her women’s indoor soccer league. Yet each week, she laces up her cleats, pumps up her teammates, and gives it her all. At least playing soccer means being able to spend more time with her all-star goalie boyfriend, Nate. And her best friend of fifteen years—who’s a total ladies’ man—Hawk.
But when Elin catches Nate cheating, she dumps his ass, and finds herself thrust back into the weird world of online dating. At least she has Hawk to lean on. He has a new woman every week, and is a dating expert. But after a few awkward first dates with other people, Elin starts noticing Hawk in a different light. Except, that can’t happen. She can’t risk losing him, or their fifteen-year friendship if things go sour.
That is, until they manage to fall tongue-first into each other’s mouths. The two form a pact to prevent diving hormones-first into more bad relationships. They’ll hook up with each other, and compartmentalize their friendship. But there are rules: Elin sets the pace, no sex with others while the pact is in effect, and if either develop romantic feelings for the other, they must bail out to protect the friendship. It’s the perfect arrangement!
Until it isn’t.
