Starlight at Sandy Claus Bay by Roxy Winterfield

Posted October 12, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, Kindle Unlimited, No Spice Romance, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

She’s the marine safety coordinator with strict protocols and stricter walls around her heart.  He’s the reformed rebel seeking redemption and a second chance at the only place that ever felt like home.

Six years ago, Reef Navarro’s carelessness caused a marina fire that nearly destroyed Felicity Kelsey’s career. Now the committee has assigned them as co-judges for the Sand Sculpture Nativity Competition—ten weeks of forced proximity through Christmas Eve.

Coordination meetings twice a week. Joint inspections of elaborate sand sculptures. Christmas Light Boat Parade preparations. Working together while the entire town watches with opinions they don’t bother hiding. Three months of professional antagonism transforms into witty banter, honest conversations, and the terrifying realization that opposites don’t just attract—they balance.

But when his dream career opportunity requires him to leave, miscommunication leads to a devastating breakup. Only by facing their deepest fears—his need to prove he deserves happiness, her terror of being abandoned—can they find their way back to each other.

Titles in the Sandy Claus Bay series include:  Christmas at Sandy Claus Bay ~ Starlight at Sandy Claus Bay ~ Moonlight at Sandy Claus Bay

Stop Taking Me For Granted by Roselin Brown

Posted October 12, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Marriage In Crisis Romance, No Spice Romance, Series / 0 Comments

Damon never once said, “I love you.” Not at the wedding. Not in three years of marriage.  Mandy waited anyway. Then she stopped.

Now the city’s most ruthless divorce attorney — the man who’s built a career on winning — has to grovel his way back into the one case he can’t afford to lose: his own wife.

Mandy

My whole life, I waited for Damon Walker to actually choose me.  Turns out I was never the choice. I was the fallback.  Until I heard my husband promise his first love: ” Mandy will understand. I’ll be there soon.” That’s all it took to kill hope.

I drew up the papers myself. Took nothing from three years of marriage. Asked for exactly one thing: quick and quiet.  Damon had other plans.  The man who built a career on never losing won’t sign. He wants a trial — fighting for a marriage he suddenly can’t stop defending, three years too late to matter.

Now I’m walking into a courtroom to end a marriage the whole city thought was perfect — and the only question left is whether Damon will finally lose something for once in his life, or lose me for good.

Damon

I never lost a case. Never lost an argument. Never once thought I could lose my own wife.  I built my life on being needed, admired, right. I told myself that was the same as being loved.

Mandy knew the difference. I didn’t — not until the night I chose being someone else’s hero over being her husband, and she signed her own way out of our marriage rather than wait for me to notice.

Now the applause means nothing. The wins mean nothing. I walked away from every case that made me somebody, and I’m starting over from zero — no reputation, no leverage, no guarantee she’ll ever look at me the way she used to.

I don’t know how to lose. I’m about to learn — one unglamorous act of humility at a time — because the only verdict I care about now is whether Mandy will let me back in.

The Grumpy Lawyer’s Christmas Romance by Davina Harrison

Posted October 12, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, No Spice Romance, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

He hates Christmas.   She lives for it.   Falling in love was never part of the plan…

Ben Carter has no time for holiday cheer.  As a big-city lawyer with a demanding career—and painful memories tied to Christmas—he’s only in Haden Creek for one reason: work.  Then his rental car breaks down during the town’s Christmas parade.  And suddenly… he’s stuck.

Holly Winters loves everything about the season.  As Haden Creek’s event planner, she’s determined to make this year’s festival unforgettable—and she refuses to let one grumpy outsider ruin it.  Especially not Ben Carter.  But when he ends up staying in the room above her office, avoiding him becomes impossible.

So Holly makes it her mission:  Show him that Christmas magic is real.  Between late-night planning, festive traditions, and moments neither of them expected, Ben begins to see Haden Creek—and Holly—differently. 

Because behind her bright smile is a woman carrying her own loneliness.  And for the first time in years… Christmas doesn’t feel so empty.  But when Holly discovers the real reason Ben came to town—and what his work could cost the community she loves—everything between them shatters.

Now Ben must choose:  The life he built… Or the one he never knew he needed.

Talk to Me by Roselin Brown

Posted October 12, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Marriage In Crisis Romance, No Spice Romance, Series, Standalone / 0 Comments

I stayed quiet for years, smiling through my mother-in-law’s cruelty, so he’d never have to choose between us.  He chose anyway.  Just not me.

Lucy

Talk to me, Ryan.  That was all I ever asked for. I never asked him to choose between me and his family.  His mother did that for me — telling him, to his face, that I simply wasn’t capable of giving the Harris family what it needed.

I waited for Ryan to say no. He didn’t.

It was his composure I fell for first — that quiet, unshakable calm. I thought it meant safety. He gave me that same composure instead — reasonable words, a divorce signed without one argument, wrapped in a settlement generous enough to look like love.

I took the papers. I left the marriage. I left the name.  I never imagined the calm I fell for could be the thing that ended us.

Ryan

Marrying Lucy was the first time I ever said no to my mother.  It took losing her to realize I should have said more.

One signature. A settlement generous enough to look like love. I called it protecting her.  I never asked what she wanted — I just decided, alone, the way I’d been taught to.

Composure was never strength. It was just obedience with better manners.

So I stopped obeying. Walked away from everything that name ever meant — for good. Let the real me be seen.  It was the first honest thing I’d ever given anyone.  I don’t know if I get to ask for another chance.  But I’m done asking for it quietly.

The Wife He Thought Would Understand by Romy Venn

Posted October 11, 2026 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Marriage In Crisis Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Standalone / 0 Comments

Mara Bennett has spent twelve years being the wife who understands.

She understood the minor leagues. The injuries. The travel. The sponsors. The interviews. The endless last-minute things that somehow needed Grant more urgently than she did.

And Grant loves her for it.  He just got a little too comfortable believing she would always understand.  So when Mara asks for one thing, to show up on time for the arts-foundation gala she’s spent six months building, Grant promises he’ll be there.

Then his team wins.  One postgame obligation becomes another.  Then another.  Cameras are everywhere, his beautiful publicist is beside him, and when someone asks why he isn’t already at his wife’s event, Grant laughs.

“Mara’s good. She always understands.”

Unfortunately for Grant, Mara hears him.  And for the first time in twelve years, she decides she’s done understanding.

Now Grant has to figure out how to save a marriage he genuinely thought was safe, while Mara starts building a life that no longer moves every time his does.  He loves her.  She still loves him.  That doesn’t mean she has to come back.

No cheating. No secret affair. He just managed to screw up the best thing in his life entirely on his own.

The Hero Who Came Home by Lexi B. Hart

Posted October 10, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, No Spice Romance, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I promised myself I would never fall for Luke Callahan twice.  The first time, I was eighteen.

He was the boy who kissed me beneath the Willow Ridge covered bridge and promised we would leave our tiny hometown together.  By morning, he was gone.  Twelve years later, I’ve built a life without him.

I own the bakery my grandmother left me.  I know every crack in Main Street.  And I have absolutely no interest in reopening old wounds.

Then Luke comes home.  Older.  Quieter.  Infuriatingly handsome.  And apparently still capable of making my heart forget every sensible decision I’ve ever made.

But that’s not the worst part.  Luke has inherited the building where my bakery is.  And a developer is offering him enough money to walk away from Willow Ridge forever.

I should hate him.  Instead, he’s repairing my leaking roof before sunrise.  Driving me home in thunderstorms.  Helping save the Harvest Festival.  Making his grieving niece laugh again.  And looking at me like twelve years haven’t passed at all.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to remember why loving Luke Callahan is supposed to be a terrible idea.  Until I discover the truth.  Luke never stopped loving me.  And the reason he left all those years ago changes everything I thought I knew about the worst night of my life.

Now the boy who broke my heart has become the man fighting to protect it.  But second chances don’t erase first heartbreaks.  And before I can give Luke my future, we may have to uncover who stole our first one.

If You Forget Me by Roselin Brown

Posted October 10, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Marriage In Crisis Romance, No Spice Romance, Series, Standalone / 0 Comments

This long-awaited wedding was supposed to save our drowning marriage.  Colin shattered it himself, in front of everyone I loved, with no good reason:  He said, “The wedding is off. You know exactly why.”

Nora

I used to believe love could conquer all. Maybe it can—but it takes two people actually trying.  When Colin had nothing, he swore he’d give me the world. Now that he has everything, all he’s ever given me is an unlimited credit card.

I shrank myself smaller and smaller, told myself it was just the price of loving a man who was scared of losing everything he’d built—including me.  Then, again and again, he crushed every effort I made and every hope I held onto—absent, dismissive, suspicious of nothing—until he delivered the final blow.

I didn’t cry. I didn’t beg. I just left—and some things don’t stay buried. Colin isn’t the only one with a secret that’s about to change everything.

Colin

I thought loving her meant giving her a life she’d never have to worry about—a mansion, a fortune, a name that opened every door. I thought money could stand in for the things I never had time to give her.

I was wrong. Completely, unforgivably wrong.  But I can’t survive losing her.

If it takes tearing myself apart and building something better from the pieces, I’ll do it. I will do it. Whatever it costs me, I’m going to become the man who actually deserves her again.

The Wife He Let take The Fall by Romy Venn

Posted October 9, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Marriage In Crisis Romance, Series, Sexual Content / 0 Comments

Her husband ignores her warning and opens their newest luxury hotel anyway. The launch is a public disaster. And he lets his wife take the fall for his decision.

For fifteen years, Laurel Weller has built a luxury-hotel empire beside her billionaire husband, Julian. She is his cofounder and the woman who has spent their entire marriage turning his impossible ambitions into reality.

She agreed to take the blame for one disastrous opening. She never agreed to let that one sacrifice become the story of her entire career.

Months later, Laurel has been publicly disgraced, erased from the company she helped build, and replaced by a new female executive who has become Julian’s right hand.

Julian is still the brilliant billionaire founder.

And Laurel is the failure everyone believes he had to replace.

She’s done.

Done protecting him. Done watching another woman step into the role Laurel spent fifteen years building. Done being privately loved by a husband who was willing to let her be publicly erased.

By the time Julian finally realizes exactly what he has lost, Laurel is already building a life without him.

And if he wants his wife back, apologies won’t be enough.

Halloween at the Bear’s Den by Thea Shaw

Posted October 6, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

“Ten years I’ve kept every secret in Grizzlyclaw, hon. Yours is the one I hung under the bell.”

One year ago, on the worst night of her life, Nora Calloway drove 200 miles from Anchorage and stopped at the only lit door in Grizzlyclaw, Alaska. Her fiancé had just sold her restaurant out from under her. Her grandmother’s recipes went with it.

A bartender poured her a whiskey on the house, ran off to the drunk two stools down, and told her she’d keep. She left before last call. She left her grandmother’s jacket on the stool.

This Halloween she’s back to settle the tab and take the jacket home. Ten minutes, in and out.

She hadn’t planned on Booker Whitlow.

Big, quiet, and grumpy as a locked door. Army, two tours. Single dad. Ten years behind the bar at The Bear’s Den, the saloon on the corner of Main and Ridge Road where every hard night in Grizzlyclaw gets poured. He’s kept the whole town’s stories, heard every Hollister brother fall across that wood, and never once told his own.

Now his cook has quit five days before the Grizzlyclaw Halloween Festival, and on Saturday the whole town eats out of his kitchen. So he gives her the week. The warm room over the kitchen. Cash. Done by Halloween. Her coffee hits the bar before she orders it. His flannel ends up around her shoulders. His solemn eight-year-old slides her a coaster like a deed.

But she has a start date in Anchorage. And Grizzlyclaw has had about enough of both of them. Mae Hollister is done waiting for him to pull the rope. Posey Hollister will trade cherries for a yes. Beth Proctor is sending day-olds “for the boy,” and Sheriff Vasquez has noticed whose truck is backed in nose-out.

She came to Grizzlyclaw to settle a tab. He’s going to make her the whole ledger.

Titles in the Grizzlyclaw Brothers series include:  The Mountain Man’s Blueprint ~ Towed by the Mountain Man ~ The Mountain Man’s Lodge ~ The Mountain Man’s Inspector ~ The Mountain Man’s Lesson ~ The Mountain Man’s Last Vow ~~ (related to series) ~ Halloween at the Bear’s Den ~

Nothing beats the unconditional love of a rescue dog or their ability to bring people together.

The Odd Couple * LORI FOSTER
Ford Caruso agrees to an unusual favor—playing the part of new boyfriend for his adamantly single, irresistibly sexy neighbor Skye Fairchild, whose clueless ex refuses to accept his fate. But as Skye starts dropping by to use Ford’s pool, and even plan dates, the charade begins to feel satisfyingly real, complete with choosing rescue dogs together—a giant mutt and a fierce little chihuahua who adore each other. From one odd couple to another, some things are destined…

Force of Nature * MAISEY YATES
Rescuing animals is in Lydia Clay’s blood, so when a mournful old cattle dog named Hank shows up at the shelter, she knows exactly where to take him: to cattle rancher Remington Lane, her brother’s hot, and usually grumpy, best friend. Hank belonged to Remy’s estranged father, which is one strike against him, but when Lydia offers to help the man ease into dog ownership, he can’t say no. And as he and Lydia work together, it looks like an old dog can actually teach this brooding cattleman some heart-warming new tricks…
