Coming Home by Jessica Jarman
Angel Lake Series, Book One
Coming home for Gabe Monroe isn’t a joyous occasion. He returns to say goodbye to his father, and he stays to honor his father’s final request—take care of the family. He’s completely unprepared for the attraction he feels for his sister’s best friend and blames his grief when he gives into it. Gabe tries to put things right. Kate is practically family, and he promised his father he’d take care of her. However, Gabe is pretty sure taking Kate hard and fast against any ready surface wasn’t what his dad had in mind.
Kate Pearson thought she was over her childhood crush on Gabe, but his return has all those feelings rushing back. Add in the toe-curling, mind-blowing sex…and Kate is well on her way beyond just a crush. Despite his constant meddling and insistence that they need to keep things platonic, he makes her tremble with desire and yearn for forever with him.
Even as Gabe begins to accept their blossoming relationship, Kate's past casts a shadow over their future as they realize he isn't the only one who’s come home.

Double Down Desperate by Jannifer Hoffman
The most important things in Patsy Bartlett’s life are what color nail polish to use and whether to fly to Rome or Paris for the weekend—until her father, calling her spoiled, lazy, and greedy, cuts the purse strings and gives her a sink-or swim-ultimatum. She must survive on twenty-five thousand dollars for one year or be cut from his will. A list of restrictions ban her from borrowing, acquiring money she hasn’t earned, or carrying a debt of any kind at the end of the year. Taking her time to acknowledge he is truly serious gets her into trouble.
North Dakota farmer Luke McAlister is accused of killing his wife and two little girls. His case against him is dismissed on a questionable technicality. Consequently, returning to the small town where he grew up suddenly becomes a nightmare. The community is divided between those who believe he got away with murder and those who think he’s innocent. The only way he can find peace is to unravel the mystery of what happened on a night he can’t remember—and hope the truth doesn’t turn out to be his biggest nightmare.
The last thing he expects is help in the form of a carrot-top floozy driving a red Maserati.
