June Romance Theme  OwlCrate

SMUGGLE & SPICE

A desperate debutante. A disgraced privateer. One wildly inconvenient summer. After causing one scandal too many in London’s Marriage Mart, an unconventional heiress flees to Cornwall with a forged invitation, her two closest friends, and their shared dreams of freedom. A seaside estate, no suitors, and no expectations? Perfect. Except the mansion is crumbling… and the staff are decidedly suspicious.

 

The estate’s current occupants have plans of their own, and everything is proceeding smoothly until three determined young women arrive, sharp-witted, fearless, and far too perceptive for comfort. As fake identities tangle and sparks ignite, their battle of wits becomes something far more intoxicating. In this sun-drenched Regency romp of secrets and schemes, the greatest risk isn’t getting caught, it’s falling in love.

GOOD GIRL 101  Romance Theme  OwlCrate

GOOD GIRL 101

Our March pick is a steamy college town romance about a sexy single dad professor and a feisty law school grad-turned-nanny that you won’t want to miss! When a rookie lecturer arrives in town, she’s looking for a fresh start (and somewhere other than her car to sleep) after a messy breakup.

 

But her plans take a twist when she meets a reserved, yet incredibly handsome, single dad. As a professor and father juggling a busy household, his love life is basically non-existent…until a chance encounter with the fiery new poli-sci adjunct, and now his live-in nanny, turns everything upside down. With every argument feeling like a lesson in foreplay, the temptation is impossible to ignore…and it turns out they’re both hands-on learners.

Our December Romance pick is the perfect read anytime of year, packed with small town vibes and stunning scenery!

He’s sworn off romantic entanglements, but something about her keeps pulling him in. When a renovation project brings them closer, neither is prepared for the sparks…or the truths they’ll have to face if they want something real.

HOT TAKES & HEARTACHES

She never thought that calling out her college sweetheart on social media, who happens to be a super popular relationship “guru” podcaster, would go viral.

When he proposes five dates for him to make up for his past toxic masculinity and wrongdoings, she sees this as an opportunity to further her career. After all, it’s not like she’s going to develop real feelings for him … right?

LOVE ON THE AIR Romance Theme  OwlCrate

LOVE ON THE AIR

She is a single mom who won't settle for anything but the whole package when it comes to love. He is a cantankerous radio host of a failing program about love, who just happens to have given up on all things romance. Their paths unexpectedly cross when her daughter calls into the show in the hopes of helping her mom's stagnant love life… and the audience is enthralled. A bargain is struck: she will co-host the radio show, he will help her find her happy ending—but when feelings begin to form behind the scenes, will he be able to open his heart and begin to believe in love again? Our first contemporary romance is a delightful spin on Sleepless in Seattle with a sprinkle of Gilmore Girls!
