A Darling Artist by Lark Holiday
Grace moved to the tiny community of Darling, Alaska when she finally had enough of her famous photographer husband travelling the world without ever giving them the opportunity to put down roots. At least now she's living life on her own terms, running her own coffee shop, and doing what she wants...even if she is a little bit lonely.
Hunter threw himself into his work when Grace left him. But after his best friend dies suddenly on a trip, the only person he wants to turn to is Grace, so he heads to Alaska to find her again.
Hunter is disrupting her well-ordered life, but Grace can't deny that she likes having him around. But can she ever expect him to stay put in Darling when his career calls?
This is a closed-door second-chance romance with lots of banter and heart. Check out Lark Holiday’s latest A Darling Artist in paperback, ebook, and audio!

So he makes up a fake girlfriend the next time a sweet old lady tries to set him up. The problem? He gave her the name of the new girl in town, Lacey, whose name he can never remember (oops) and who he's forgotten he had a one-night stand with years ago (also oops).
Lacey just wants to make enough money to get out of debt and then move on to pursue her dancing dreams. But she agrees to Sam's accidental fake relationship in order to get an ex of hers to stop annoying her. And pretty soon they've somehow adopted a dog, she's staying at his house, and she's sleeping in his bed. The fake relationship is becoming real, but what's it going to take to get either of them to admit it?

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!
