Final Offer by Lauren Asher

“The love grew as we did, morphing into something more mature. Something strong enough to stand the test of time and distance every single year. A love built on memories of the past and a hope for the future.”

Falling in love with Callahan Kane was a mistake. He told me so before destroying my heart and our friendship six summers ago. When he promised never to come back, I foolishly believed him. But then Cal showed up again, intending to sell his grandfatherโ€™s lake house. The biggest flaw in his plan? My name is on the deed.

A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn

โ€œWhat we have goes beyond the contract. To me, the contract doesnโ€™t exist anymore. Whatโ€™s between us now is real.โ€

I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me. And thatโ€™s when we bumped into each other. There were no sparks. Not even a hint of blossoming love. But people do crazy things when theyโ€™re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal. My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata

But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot sheโ€™s spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.
