1. The Marriage Code by Brooke Burroughs
Brooke Burroughs's The Marriage Code has it all: an enemies-to-lovers plot, a heroine in a STEM field, and an Emily in Paris-style relocation subplot that finds the book's central characters moving to Bangalore. At the heart of the story is Emma, who needs to get her coworker Rishi to join her team after she lands the promotion he was passed over for, but in order to convince him to join her, she'll have to write a code to help him please his parents by finding the perfect wife.

Love Songs For Skeptics by Christina Pishiris is a charming story of first loves and unexpected romance. Music-magazine editor Zoë Frixos loves a good love song, but her own romantic fiascos have left her doubtful about the prospect of falling in love herself. But when an annoying publicist and her best friend/crush both enter her orbit at the same time, Zoe may have to reevaluate her stance on relationships.

Set in 1984 Texas, Pudge and Prejudice by A.K. Pittman is a body-positive YA retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. When Elyse Nebbit struggles to accept her body and fit in at her new school, she finds help in the form of her no-nonsense best friend and the handsome boy she can't help but fall for.

Don't let the broody cover fool you; Roommate by Sarina Bowen isn't just steamy, it's also a warm-hearted romance between two men who are total opposites. Kieran is an actual lumberjack who is harboring secrets and guarding his heart. Roderick is a chatty baking enthusiast who is determined to get his roommate to open up, even if it means possibly being kicked out of their shared house — and as you might expect, sparks will definitely fly between these guys, no matter how hard they resist their mutual attraction.

Sarah Morgenthaler returns to Moose Springs, AK, for a third round of quirky small-town fun and unexpected romance in Enjoy the View.
