Brewed with love
by Shelly Page
Plant witch Sage Bishop intends to run her family's apothecary one day. The doors just have to stay open until she can take over from her nana. That's why she spends all her time perfecting a tonic that'll put Bishop Brews on the map. She certainly doesn't need their latest hire--and her ex-best friend--Ximena Reyes causing any distractions. Alas, at the first sight of Ximena's cheeky smile, Sage flees the shop, allowing someone to break into Bishop Brews and steal the tonic she's been tinkering with, one that wipes their high school cheer captain's memory.
With Bishop Brews now at risk of being shut down, Sage reluctantly partners with Ximena to find the culprit. As the mystery deepens, so do pesky old feelings. Their first kiss and Ximena's subsequent ghosting keep replaying in Sage's mind. Will she be able to resist Ximena's charm, or will she let it work its magic for a second chance at love?

by Paul Coccia
"Curvaceous, clever, and an avid reader, seventeen-year-old Bobby Ashton never misses a main character moment. So when it comes to asking out his crush, he plans a romantic gesture grand enough to go down in local history.
Unfortunately, though, his extensive knowledge of every rom-com trope ever doesn't prepare him for how tragically he misreads the situation. Suddenly Bobby's very public romantic gesture turns into an ordeal so embarrassing it could be a villain origin story. Having masterfully shattered every plan for his perfect summer before college, Bobby's last resort is working at his uncle's sleepy bookstore. Soon, Bobby is expertly recommending books for customers to perfectly cure what ails them.
Attempting to rebound after a breakup? There's a book for that. Trying to tame your crochety coworker? There's a book for that too.
Then a plot twist Bobby never saw coming walks through the door in the form of Luke, an unfairly attractive and staunchly anti-romantic lifeguard. Bobby's blossoming connection with Luke reminds him of some of his favorite tropes: grumpy-sunshine, quippy banter, and even forced proximity. But after his last romantic disaster, should Bobby use all the tricks in his arsenal to turn Luke's head? Or is he misreading all the signs again? Do grand gestures really need to be so . . . grand?"
