Quando perde in un colpo solo fidanzato e lavoro, Natalie Vos si rifugia nella tenuta vinicola di famiglia per leccarsi le ferite. Dopo qualche mese, e svariati calici di Cabernet in cui ha affogato i suoi dispiaceri, sente che è arrivato finalmente il momento di riprendere in mano la sua vita e fare ritorno a New York. Per finanziare la sua nuova impresa lavorativa, però, avrebbe bisogno di accedere al suo fondo fiduciario. E sarebbe tutto più semplice, se suo padre non avesse previsto due condizioni ben precise per farlo: avere un lavoro e, soprattutto, essere sposata. Una bella sfortuna, vero? August Cates, amante mancato per un soffio di Natalie, non se la passa certo meglio. Ha speso tutti i suoi risparmi per occuparsi della vigna di un caro amico, pur non avendo la minima idea di come si produca del buon vino. Ciononostante è determinato a tentare il tutto per tutto per riuscirci. E un prestito bancario renderebbe la cosa più semplice. Ma che garanzie può offrire un ex Navy Seal spiantato improvvisatosi viticoltore da un giorno all''altro? Quando Natalie lo rivede e, tra un battibecco e un insulto, viene a conoscenza della sua situazione, gli propone un''idea folle: sposarsi. Ovviamente si tratterebbe di un finto matrimonio, seguito da una convivenza di poche settimane per poi, ottenuto ciò di cui hanno bisogno entrambi, andare ognuno per la propria strada. Non sarebbe una passeggiata, certo, ma sarebbe il modo più veloce per risolvere i loro problemi. In fin dei conti, sono adulti, e perfettamente in grado di tenere a bada la chimica irresistibile che di volta in volta li porta ad avvicinarsi pericolosamente e l''istante dopo a odiarsi. O no?

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan... Wells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash… As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?

Een spicy romcom over een professor die altijd de regels wil volgen en een sprankelende tuinier die zijn hele leven op zijn kop zet Hallie Welch is al sinds haar veertiende verliefd op Julian Vos. Jaren later keert hij onverwacht terug naar het kleine stadje waar ze allebei zijn opgegroeid. Precies dan wordt Hallie door zijn familie ingehuurd om de tuin bij hun wijngaarden op te knappen. Als ze Julian voor het eerst in jaren weer ziet, herkent ze hem niet meer terug. Hij is nog aantrekkelijker dan vroeger – dat wel – maar hij is een norse professor geworden die geobsedeerd is door regelmaat en structuur. Julian Vos heeft een sabbatical genomen om een roman te schrijven. Hij heeft het verhaal al heel gestructureerd uitgedacht, maar hij wordt continu afgeleid door de knappe blondine die onder zijn raam staat te tuinieren. Alles om haar heen is constant in totale chaos, en dat brengt hem in verwarring. Als Hallie na een lange avond met veel wijn impulsief besluit om Julian een anonieme liefdesbrief te schrijven, heeft ze daar de volgende ochtend gelijk spijt van. Ze wil de brief terugnemen, maar Julian heeft hem al gelezen. Hij is erg verbaasd door de brief, maar zit met zijn hoofd eigenlijk heel ergens anders: hij wordt namelijk steeds meer meegesleept in Hallies rommelige maar warme en kleurrijke leven. Kan Julian zijn rigide plannen loslaten en toegeven aan wat hij begint te voelen voor Hallie? Tessa Bailey is een populaire romance-auteur. Ze werd internationaal megasuccesvol met BookTok-favorieten Een zomer vol verrassingen (in het Engels verschenen als It happened one summer) en Aan het lijntje (in het Engels verschenen als Hook, line, and sinker).

Hallie Welch se enamoró perdidamente de Julian Vos a los catorce años, cuando estuvieron a punto de besarse en los viñedos de su familia. Ahora el atractivo Julian ha regresado al valle de Napa, y cuando contratan a Hallie para renovar los jardines de la finca familiar, ella se pregunta si por fin podrá conseguir ese ansiado beso. Pero el rígido profesor poco tiene que ver con el adolescente que ella recuerda y sus personalidades, ahora radicalmente opuestas, chocan de manera espectacular. Julian se ha tomado un año sabático que quiere invertir en escribir una novela, pero tener a Hallie trabajando al otro lado de su ventana es una distracción imposible de ignorar. Ella es excéntrica, impuntual y tan hermosa que no lo deja concentrarse. Pero entonces encuentra una carta dirigida a él y firmada por su «admiradora secreta». Mientras intenta descubrir la identidad de la remitente, Julian no puede dejar de pensar en Hallie. Como las flores que planta, ella es una explosión de color en su vida monocromática. Para un hombre que plancha sus calcetines y sigue horarios estrictos, su energía caótica y entusiasta no tiene ningún sentido. Pero hay algo en ella que resulta tan familiar... y su mera presencia está poniendo su mundo patas arriba. «Tessa Bailey es la reina de las comedias románticas». Julie Murphy, autora best seller de A Merry Little Meet Cute

Pero la vida perfectamente estructurada de Bethany está a un beso de esfumarse, y sabe que enamorarse de un tipo como Wes sería un desastre.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey delivers a sexy, hilarious standalone holiday rom-com about the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert… Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life… and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas. Beat Dawkins, the lead singer’s son, is Melody’s opposite—the camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader. Still, they might have been best friends if not for the legendary feud that broke up the band. When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it’s nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show. While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

Georgette Castle''s family runs the best renovation company in the city, but she prefers to make a living as an entertainer at children''s parties. She is the youngest of the family and perhaps that is why no one takes her seriously, but she is determined to change that: she wants to boost her business, thoroughly renovate her wardrobe, and go out more. But being the best version of yourself means facing reality: Georgie has never been on a date. Nobody invites the prankster of the group to spend a night of wild sex. Maybe if people thought she was in the middle of a steamy love affair, they wouldn''t just see her as the little sister who works making the kids laugh. And who better to help her put an end to that image than the most famous sports star in town? Travis Ford was the hottest professional baseball player in the league until an injury ended his career. Now he tries to forget his glory days, but he can''t even cross the street without someone reminding him of his best moments or making some joke about it... And then there''s Georgie, his best friend''s sister, who isn''t a girl anymore. When she comes up with a crazy plan--they pretend to go out together to impress her family and help him find a new job--Travis agrees. What harm could he do? Not that it was something real. But the girl Travis used to pick on as a child is now a fun, bouncy woman... and there''s nothing wrong with how much he likes her.

Novo livro da autora de Aconteceu naquele verão traz romance sensual entre professor certinho e paisagista caótica Desde que quase beijou Julian Vos quando era adolescente, Hallie Welch tem uma quedinha pelo herdeiro de uma das vinícolas de maior renome da região. Quinze anos depois, porém, aquele homem gostoso que protagoniza suas fantasias mais picantes parece mais um fruto de sua imaginação do que uma realidade concreta. Só que agora o filho pródigo está de volta à cidade, e ela só precisa de uma chance para reacender aquela chama. Quando Hallie é contratada para dar uma repaginada no jardim da casa de hóspedes dos Vos, a possibilidade de conseguir aquele beijo é tudo em que consegue pensar. Mas quando percebe que Julian se tornou um professor mal-humorado muito diferente do jovem doce de quem ela se lembra, as personalidades opostas dos dois se chocam de forma colossal. Em uma licença sabática de seu emprego em uma universidade de elite, Julian voltou para casa em busca de tranquilidade para escrever um livro. Só que ter Hallie cuidando de seu jardim é uma distração e tanto. A paisagista é excêntrica, bagunceira e está sempre atrasada — mas também é tão linda que Julian não consegue se concentrar em outra coisa. Até que, após uma noite de fofoca e muitas taças de vinho, Hallie acaba colocando em prática uma ideia questionável: deixa uma carta romântica anônima para Julian, assinada por “sua admiradora secreta”. Assim que acha o envelope, ele fica se perguntando quem poderia ter escrito aquela declaração tão intensa, mas a verdade é que tem assuntos mais importantes com que se preocupar: como o fato de que seus pensamentos sobre Hallie estão ficando cada vez mais tórridos. Para um homem regrado como Julian, a energia caótica daquela mulher não faz sentido, mas a mera presença de Hallie parece estar virando seu mundo de cabeça para baixo. Será que é possível deixar a seriedade de lado e se entregar de vez ao amor?
