Seat Mates by Anna Harbom

After a very road-ragey airport meet-cute (meet-rage?), Daisy and Charlie find themselves sitting next to each other on a plane to D.C. Once they work past their initial animosity, they find themselves spilling much more than they intended to each other. (And there is some JUICY gossip that's revealed later.)

They also happen to be staying at the same hotel, which means they can continue their flirtation over the weekend of his work conference and her mom's wedding, which is a fraught topic for Daisy. Charlie offers himself up as her date for the wedding so she can avoid an ex and have a buffer with her...difficult mother.

Daisy really needs to confront her issues that all happen to be coming to a head at this wedding. But when Charlie gets tangled up in them, can she keep him as her one lifeline away from them?

Seat Mates is Anna Harbom’s debut rom-com, and it's available on KU now!

Years in the Making by Megan McSpadden

Nellie’s doing great and everything’s falling into place for her--except for her love life. She never got closure on the guy she fell for one summer who seemed perfect and then ghosted her out of nowhere, and she hasn't been able to find something like that since then. But now that guy is back in her life via their mutual friends and they’re going to be spending the summer in a tiny town up north together. Now that she's seen him again, she’s TOTALLY over him...right?

Discretion and Avarice by Mary Alice Alexander

This one is playing with some different what-if scenarios for Pride and Prejudice: Darcy and Elizabeth are younger, Darcy's parents are alive, and Darcy is the youngest of three, with a wastrel older brother Andrew who's the heir to Pemberley. Without having the riches and responsibilities and pride of the heir, Darcy can approach Elizabeth with a lot more openness, and they fall for each other. But Darcy isn't established in a career and can't support a wife.

But Andrew's vices are catching up to him, and the Darcy parents have ensured that our Darcy is in control of the money and Pemberley. Elizabeth, meanwhile, also has to care for her family, who is on the brink of ruin (but not because of the sister you expect!). Can Darcy and Elizabeth ever manage to be together when Darcy's responsibilities (without the title or the money) and Elizabeth's family are keeping them apart?

Darcy and Elizabeth's Dreams of Redemption by Melissa Anne

After Darcy leaves Netherfield, he begins having dreams of Elizabeth in which she rejects his proposal—but it gets him thinking about Elizabeth and if she might not be the exact match for him if he can get past his pride. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is also having dreams that are making her reconsider her opinion of Darcy.

By the time they meet up again at Kent, they’re both ready for each other—but their families aren’t necessarily ready for them together. With opposition from both sides, they only have themselves and their dreams to keep them together.

A teeny tiny bit of a paranormal spin on the classic P&P story, Darcy and Elizabeth’s Dreams of Redemption is available now in KU!

Whiskey in the Jar by Irene

All Jenny wants is to protect her sister Nell and get her away from Nell’s abusive husband. When a highwayman’s ransom means that she no longer has the money to fund her and Nell’s escape, she decides she’ll capture the highwayman herself to get the reward.

What she doesn’t bargain for is Adam, the highwayman, having faerie luck on his side and being too charming for his (and her) own good. But she’s already too deep into her plan when she starts falling for him and might have already destroyed their chance for happiness.

This story is based on an old English ballad, but Irene’s updated it to have a badass heroine who takes no shit, a bit of magic and romantasy, and a morally grey hero who makes even his unflappable heroine (and me) swoon. It’s available on KU now!
