Delayed by Desire by Judith Harrison

Posted October 14, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

She wants the truth on record. He wants to save the town’s best story. Neither expected their arguments to get this personal.

Nola Charette returned to Brinewick to record the town’s history before the state decides the old station isn’t worth saving. As a podcast producer with a sharp eye for buried truths, she knows the official version of Brinewick’s past leaves out the people who actually kept the trains running—including her own grandfather.

Silas Rook has one job: build a clean, convincing heritage case that will help protect the station. As a preservation attorney from one of Brinewick’s most respectable families, he knows exactly how fragile public funding can be. He doesn’t need Nola digging through ledgers, challenging old plaques, and turning the town’s favorite legend into a full-scale emotional excavation.

Unfortunately, Nola is brilliant, relentless, and impossible to ignore. Silas is controlled, infuriating, and far more decent than she wants him to be.

Trapped together in dusty records rooms, diner interviews, and public listening sessions, Nola and Silas discover that history is not the only thing getting harder to contain. But when the truth threatens his family’s reputation and her family’s erasure, desire is not enough. One of them has to risk the story they have been protecting.

Platform Rules by Judith Harrison

Posted October 14, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

The town needs a fundraiser. She needs one perfect event. He needs everyone to stop ignoring basic structural safety.

Tessa Rill can make chaos look charming. After her event business imploded in Providence, she is back in Brinewick with a headset, a clipboard, and a desperate need to prove she is still the woman who can pull off the impossible. Her new mission: produce the first major fundraiser for the Brinewick Station Renewal and make the half-restored Trackside Works look magical.

Unfortunately, Bram Lozada is in charge of making Trackside Works safe.

Bram is a historic restoration contractor with strong hands, stricter rules, and no patience for bunting, optimism, or volunteers who think “probably fine” is a safety plan. Tessa thinks he is impossible. Bram thinks she is exhausting. The town thinks they should be left alone together as often as possible, strictly for project efficiency.

But beneath Tessa’s sparkle is panic she refuses to show, and beneath Bram’s gruff competence is a man tired of being valued only when something is broken. As late nights, power outages, and one extremely inconvenient no-dating rule push them closer, their arguments start sounding a lot like foreplay.

Tessa can charm a whole town. Bram can fix almost anything. Falling for each other may be the one thing neither of them can manage under the platform’s rules.

Last Train to You by Judith Harrison

She stayed. He left. Now the town they both love needs them to save the place where goodbye ruined everything.

Mara Dacey knows every inch of Brinewick Station: the fogged windows, the unreliable announcement board, the commuter coffee, and the diner booth where she learned Cal Vardis was leaving town without her. Thirteen years later, she is the woman everyone counts on to keep the station running—which means she has no time for old heartbreak, especially when the state threatens to cut service and put Brinewick’s future at risk.

Then Cal steps off the train.

Now a coastal structural engineer, Cal has been hired to assess whether the station and its old freight shed can be saved. He came back to do a job, tell the truth, and leave before the town remembers too much. But Brinewick remembers everything. So does Mara.

Forced into late-night inspections, tense committee meetings, and too many emotionally dangerous breakfasts at Latchkey Lunch & News, Mara and Cal discover the years apart didn’t kill the spark between them. It only taught them how much damage silence can do.

To save the station, Cal has to stop hiding behind professional distance. To trust him again, Mara has to believe that needing someone does not mean being left behind.

Starlight at Sandy Claus Bay by Roxy Winterfield

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.

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

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.

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.

This is a no-spice romance, perhaps with closed-door or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved.
