The messy life of Jane Tanner
by Brenda Novak
"Jane Tanner's friends are settling down, while she's been settling for less. She longs for adventure and the big city, but caring for her ailing grandfather means she's shackled to her small town. She's excited her vintage gift shop is finally up and running, but it's not enough. Longing to fulfill at least one dream--to become a mother before her biological clock ticks out--Jane drunkenly propositions the worst possible candidate for Dad. Kurt Elway is off-limits with a capital O. He's a good friend, but he's too young, too busy running his family's ranch. Plus, he and Jane's sister, Kate, used to date. That kind of off-limits. Unbeknownst to Jane, Kurt's pining for her. When he's fully on board to father her baby, she sees him in a new light. Then lingering baggage between Kate and Kurt suddenly surfaces and Jane is reminded of just how messy life is. But...so is parenting. Maybe it's time to embrace the mess?"

Wild life
by Opal Wei
"The Plan was simple: find a cure for the cancer that nearly took her sister's life. But for Zoey Fong, something about The Plan isn't working anymore. When a crucial tissue sample accidentally winds up in the hands of a very distracting--and disarminglyhandsome--visitor, Zoey jumps at the chance to follow him home to retrieve it. Davy Hsieh's rugged island estate is no manicured suburban park. His plan is simple: establish a legitimate animal sanctuary and embrace life as a hermit to make up for a sketchy past. Zoey invading his fortress of solitude should not, under any circumstances, be a romantic development. And yet it's the single most invigorating week of their lives... when they're able to set their many differences aside and embrace it. Stranded amid all manner of flora and fauna--including a semidomesticated cougar called Baby--Davy and Zoey first have to survive the island. Then they'll need to take a leap of faith, maybe even trusting in each other, to save it"
