Marika's Best Laid Plan
by Judy Staingar
Marika is a social worker trying to heal her drug addict clients, but she can't seem to mend her damaged self. She avoids love because love sits too close to death. Her choices have left her carefully ordered life a lonely, disconnected one. Everything is about to change. Big-hearted, quirky, emotionally walled-off Marika embarks on a plan that ultimately forces her to confront the very thing she's spent her life avoiding: love. For more information, please visit Judy's website.
 Partner Pursuitby Kathy Strobos
Workaholic lawyer Audrey Willems is determined to become a law firm partner. Until she bumps into Jake-her new neighbor. But Jake’s father was a workaholic lawyer with little time for family. Audrey is determined to juggle work and romance. When making partner is a game of musical chairs and the last seat is business-class alone, which partnership will she choose? For more information, please visit Kathy's website.
 A Scarcity of Virginsby JoAnn Catania
Eighteen years of being a stay-at-home wife and mother have turned Rita into a borderline agoraphobic. If she is stuck in an emotionally abusive marriage, she is not aware of it. An unexpected confrontation with Valentin, a handsome Spanish immigrant from Barcelona, shakes up her life both physically and emotionally forcing her to make some hard decisions in order to save herself and her children. For more information, please visit JoAnn's website.
After Perfect
by Maan Gabriel
Gabriella Stevens is a devoted housewife to Simon–just as her traditional Filipino mother has always told her to do-when, after sixteen years of marriage, he wants a divorce. Gabby faces unfamiliar reality with determination. But when she unexpectedly falls in love with mysterious Colt, she learns he is battling a tragic past that may have made him incapable of love. Is Gabby destined for another heartbreak or will Colt be what unbreaks her? For more information, please visit Maan's website.
 Three Coinsby Kimberly Sullivan
One Eternal City. Three women. Three wishes. Three coins. Emma, Tiffany and Annarita all meet up by chance at a 1950s movie night while on a restorative holiday at an Italian beach resort off-season. The triumphs and hardships of these three very different women become intertwined as they form an unlikely friendship and work to better their messy lives.
For more information, please visit Kimberly's website.
